Andrea sent me this tonight and I liked it so much I couldn’t resist posting it.

“However strange it may well seem, to do one’s duty will make any
one conceited who only does it sometimes. Those who do it always
would as soon think of being conceited of eating their dinner as
of doing their duty.

What honest boy would pride himself on not picking pockets? A
thief who was trying to reform would. To be conceited of doing
one’s duty is then a sign of how little one does it, and how
little one sees that a contemptible thing it is not to do it.”/

We are bearing down on the nth arbitrary deadline we set for having the house ready to go on the market. This will be the 3rd week since the time change. What I have been doing for the last 2 weeks is catching up on my sleep while I’m here. It’s been working in that I’ve been getting an earlier start on the weekend mornings. I’ve also switched over to driving here on Monday mornings instead of Sunday nights. My internet week is very compressed. In all honesty, even though I have things I’d like to write about, most of the time I’m too tired or busy to write. Right now my expectation is that once the house is on the market I will be resuming my form writing regime.

is up!
