Progress

           We've hit the 250th page in indexing my genealogy book!  Yeah!  It's been slow, but steady progress.  I've got more names than I know what to do with in this baby.  I'm getting excited to see the total number when I'm done.  Anyone want to make guesses?  I'll let you know --- well, sometime this fall probably.

            I *still* need to do part 3 of that book.  Pout.  I put it aside last month (or has it been 2 months yet?) and haven't touched it in weeks.  I've peeked at parts of it, edited a sentence or two, then closed it back up again.  I *have* to get myself back into it!  Without that section done, everything will go on hold.  Shucks, where is my secretary??

            Got about 99 pages on the disability book.  It's coming along.  Lots of little stories that I'm trying to hook together. 

             I need to find time to enter info into another book.  My "info files" have grown & grown but I haven't stopped to compile them into the main book.  I bet I have enough files to keep me very busy for weeks.  I don't know how others do this, but my system is to add a file to the main work, then in front of the file's name I add "done_filename".  It's the only way I can keep track of what I've finished (computer files of course).  Paper files are easier.  They get a red checkmark on the paper & file folder. 

              Gratefully, today will be 10-15 degrees cooler than it has been.  So I'm hoping to tackle some of this stuff today.  But, I think I deserve a secretary--LOL.  It sure would be nice.
