Right on Schedule!

errantemberI've been searching for years for something that would get me out of bed before noon or to bed before 3 AM, but generally have struck out. However, one recent trick that seems to be working is scheduling my day the night before. Suddenly, if I'm not getting out of bed, something is actually *not* *happening*! There's a *cost* to sleeping in!
I'm not perfect at it yet, but today I did *very* well!
I...
After getting up at 9:30 AM, I scootered up to the tax office on Airport and finalized the paperwork for a title transfer for a car that's been in my possession for at least four years. It's got a shot transmission, but because it was in my Mom's name and still had a (fully paid) lien on it from the original note, I couldn't sell it, give it away to charity, etc. This was the fifth and final time my hard-working mother and I had done the paperwork to get the fucking thing transferred, and it's *finally* *done*! Had the scooter actually run out of E- on the trip out like it almost did, I would have been able to propel myself home on the stream of come shooting from my magitastically ecstatic form, and *Whoah* *Nellie!* to anyone who stood in my way! Until I get a divorce involving three kids living in five countries I will *never* see such bureaucratic bullshit again.
Stopped for a top-off for both me and the scooter at Epoch, where I read half of my Re-Evaluation Counseling manual, and wrote one of my favorite works for my writer's group, the Voluptuaries, entitled "Bush Ignored During Zombie Outbreak" on my Centro smart-phone.
Shopped at Wheatsville where I executed Extreme Budgetary Discipline to keep $6 in my pocket for the rest of the week after having already spent $50 on dog food from this week's budget.
Spent three hours feeding branches and twigs to Nibbles, our wood chipper, eliminating about 80% of the brush pile created by two major tree trimming operations, while still retaining all my fingers despite extensive and excessively sexual-looking fisting and thrusting into shredding orifices that make your garbage disposal look like a wind-up toy.
Went to my RC class at Selwyn's.
Listened to the rest of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, and its amazingly depressing conclusions for privileged smart people like me.
Installed Drupal 5.x after having previously installed 6.x because a lot of key plug-ins don't work with the newer version yet.
Wrote this, all according to plan!
Time for bed!
