What a rotten day

Lost hours of work to a computer glitch either on my end or on the other end.

Floundered without useful net acces trying to get it all worked out. Ended up just starting over.

It was cold and dreary, and I was awakened by construction being done on the roof next to my window.

Dealt with my ailments a bit in the morning when they are at their worst.

ran out of food and thus had to go get more... and wrenched my foot in the process.

Got back and went to put out the recycling walking around in shoes that nearly slurped from the wet... and the entire box of items spilled across the hard wood floor with a clatter and clink while my housemate is trying to sleep... four feet away just on the other side of the door.

I'm optimistic though, that I seem to be getting myself back into a functional state of things. setting a good course for action.

I've set down a schedual to follow for myself to persue my goals as if I am my employer and this is my part time job. If I'm going to make a go at living my life like this, I'm going to need to treat it like something one does for a living.

Then I have to also consider my prospects for new avenues of employment. And or education.

It seems like a lot but really it's rather exciting to get myself up and running again, or hobbling at a decent gait anyway... stupid gout.

I'll be posting tomorrow on rovingjack.com with more on where I will be updating and when.

Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack

I'm moving back into my life

Seems like a long time since I was living my life by my terms, but I'm back at it.

Maybe it's that crackle of autumn in the air, or just a matter of things running their proper course but it's getting underway again.

I sat down and made my plans. It help me immensely to look at my list and being able to say... is that all that's not such a big deal now that it's not all scattered and having to be chased down to be done.

Also of late I've been using puzzle and games for filler while I get myself organised on the Goober comics. And I rather like the idea of doing more of that. I might do activity book style weekends and regular comic weekdays for a while.

speaking of which I should update that before bed.

I'll be updating Rovingjack.com tomorrow with some important info, and the rest of the week is going to see a lot of new stuff.

Take care of yourselves,

where am I in all of this again

So I've got live journal for spiritual musings of a sort.

I've got etsy for listing up my creations for sale

I've got deviant art to show off things I make.

I've got face book for personal networking and one for networking my role as Roving Jack Jaggard.

I've got rovingjack.com for home base to it all, and doorway into the world of me.

I go to the forums at brass goggles.

I've got my two web comics on drunk duck.

I'm trying to remember what the heck I'm supposed to be doing with this blog.

I'm thinking this is likely to drift into the direction of simply dealing with 'my life and all that entails'. rovingjack.com is likely where I will be posting my master lists and my progress on such and letting people know where to go for sales and more specific stuff.

So this is likely to contain the stuff that's too abstract for facebook status, but too 'this is what's going on' to be part of the official roving jack site.

does that make sense?

I'm going to have to organise this stuff this week and try and get on a real schedual of updating everything and working on projects again. I let it all get derailed and it's not working out. Gotta get this crap worked out.

Take care of yourselves.

More clutter

It's a clumbsy ineligant mechanism, but I think I could come up with a few uses for it.

*click*

Wanna buy the pretty things so I can take them apart and make nifty stuff with the peices.

*click*

I'm intolerant of intolerance, paradooxically funny but not. Next time less vocally so might be better.

*click*

mmmm opening credits of Watchmen. Is good.

*click*

just how much copper do I have to patina to get enough for a pigment, jeesh. That reminds me... herbs.

*click*

This ladies and gentlemen is what my mind does over the course of fifteen seconds (not mins you fool, that would be a nice casual thought pace), it's a bit of a wonder that I get anything done, or can function at all.

The secrets are: write some of it down to declutter, do some of it quickly to get it off the list, and alchemy (find it's connections to other ideas and transmute it using other ideas).


But for now we must sleep, and apply ourselves to bringing directed and focused action to bare on the recent backlouge in me noggin. til then...

Take care of yourselves,
Roving Jack
