vanillafluffyAfter being up til OMG AM getting a cd burned so I could do a PowerPoint presentation with my talk, I got *maybe* four hours of sleep. Practically beat my snooze alarm to death for twenty minutes or so just tryinng to summon the get up and go to get up and go.
Realized I hadn't put together a reading. Couldn't find the quote I wanted to use. Found something else and printed it. Grabbed the craft supplies I needed for CUUPs. Dashed out the door at 10 til, got there in a state.
*takes deep breaths*
I was introduced to applause by AI. Got up and talked about how clutter and hoarding are hot topics at the moment, and what defines hoarding, the symptons, the levels of severity---all the technical stuff. Talked about the Collyer brothers (Check Wikipedia if you've never heard of the Collyers---they're fascinating.) at length, and the Japanese phenomenon of "lonely death" and concluded with a list of resources. Got more applause and a lengthy comments-from-the-audience ensued.
Everyone complimented me, which was gratifying. I was told that I speak well, that I have good delivery, and that I'm good at organizing my thoughts. To which my response is, I can always run my mouth, I got my delivery from watching old-fashioned sit-coms with laugh tracks, and hahahaha, me, organized? ONLY on paper!
CUUPs followed hospitality. Today we made brooms. I'll get pix later. I'll answer wmail later. Right now, it's thundering and excellent weather for a nap, which I could really use right now.
Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes---I'm sure they helped.
