tips and hints. from me to me.

1. If it is cloudy, mountain music makes the drear even better (see: Big Rock Candy Mountains, John Denver, etc).

2. Finding a new place to live means packing up the old place. Get on that.

3. Moderation. (see: Flavor Ice)

4. Even though the fellow who brings you coffee every day (who you're to marry) makes it delicious with additives, black coffee is still tops. If it is black coffee that he makes, this is ideal.

5. Bikes are not for closets. You love your bicycle. Remember?

6. If it is sunny, use the colors of Sufjan Stevens. Focus on the Age of Adz.

7. Weddings do not plan themselves. Evidently this is a hard lesson to learn.

7a. Re-reading Tolkien is not helping. Put it down and do work.

8. Word asks if it should replace an identically-named document with the one you're trying to close. THINK, SELF.

9. Bed = nice, priority, motivation. Bed after elongated workday and run = grand reward of proportions outside my descriptive capability
