Usefulness

Two quick updates: haven't made any progress on finding my "home on the range" and haven't heard from the University of Utah clinic.

But today's subject is of a different course.  In the last few days I've been able to do something useful with my life.  This past weekend I went with my parents to take furniture to my brother and SIL's new apartment in Pocatello.  I did absolutely nothing but hang out, but I felt useful.  :)

Yesterday I got the chance to act as an editor for another brother on a project he is working on.  Tonight I got to help my mom find screenshots for her PowerPoint for her lesson in her classroom tomorrow.

I also put up some green beans today - the blanch and freeze kind, not the canned kind.  Tomorrow, I might to laundry.

Everyone else who reads this blog does basically all of these things and more and in the same day.  But I think if I keep off my own back about it, accept the "day at a time" philosophy, and get to do even one useful thing each day, my self-concept improves.

So do you have something I can do to help?  Can I do it (as in physically)?  I'd love to help.

  1. Fun! I'm glad you got to help with beans...yummy! I could mail you all my laundry and you could fold it for me! :) Or maybe I'll just call and we can chat while I fold it myself.

  2. How about option B? :)

    I think I'm going to be grading grammar for my mom tomorrow. Exciting... I hope I have the grammar for it!
