the getting of grip ~ October 20, 2003 - 2:05 a.m. I made a to-do list today. somewhat in the interest of getting a freakin' grip. I have a feeling that yesterday was some kind of a bottom I hit. the kind that gifts you with the realization that action is required on your part. and so, a list. there is now a folder on my dad's computer's desktop labeled Kelly. inside is the list, purple on a lavender background, in my favorite font. those of you reading this on computers blessed with papyrus are looking at it right now. the list is divided into three parts, with headings, underlining, and bold type. bullets. fancy bullets. the headings are job search, responsibilities and quality of life. job search being all the redo-my-resume type stuff, as well as phone calls that need to be made and apps that need to be dropped off. responsibilities are all those things which I simply have to take care of and haven't during this long stretch of welcome-back-to-america collapse. money owed to friends, reparations which need to be made, reconnections, loose ends and nuts-and-bolts stuff. quality of life has stuff like yoga, martial arts, bike rides, writing poetry. writing in this diary. I can and will get a grip. I can't believe I've already been here for nearly a month. but now I have a list, and it's a start. it's a fancy list, and pleasing to look at, and I am determined to work it. to move forward. to discover if happy-and-healthy and living-in-milwaukee can coexist. a grip, getting one. it's a good thing.
