When She Alights, Catch Her Quick
My husband is a scientist.
He thinks and operates like an engineer.
When we have to do something together on a computer
it’s Armageddon.
If I win the negotiation regarding who gets to “drive” the computer,
I’ll be in front of the pc with 50 tabs open.
4 half-finished documents and my mailbox are open as well.
My desktop?
It’s a dog’s breakfast.
Everything is saved everywhere.
Sometimes I use folders-
but sometimes I can’t find the right folder.
So I just save the file. Somewhere. Anywhere.
And my husband goes apoplectic.
I use a Mac at home and a PC at work. I have an iphone. There are 76,000 unread emails in my gmail account.
He is a PC and Android man.
He’s a Renaissance man and I am so grateful that he is teaching our sons not only Math and Chemistry, but cooking, construction, and gardening as well.
He is a tortoise.
I am the hare.
And we all know how that turned out.
For me, ideas come whenever they come
I have to get them out and down on paper – any paper, anywhere - or they will fly away.
This is why my files are a mess.
Inspiration is a fickle mistress.
And she incites a certain franticness when she appears.
She is a lovely, exciting, and inspiring nymph.
When she alights, catch her quick.
There is no way to know when, or if
she will sprinkle her magic dust again.
