LIFE-BOT WHIRLS

The only dimension to my life lately can be expressed in two words : logistical imperatives. What needs to be done, where, and when? Just the facts. I am life-bot, see me whirl, hum, zip, and pause ever so briefly for a new download of things to get done RIGHT NOW.

Last night was consumed preparing my shipping box for my upcoming trip to Arizona. I allow those hunky UPS guys to handle my 'luggage' for me these days, but I must oblige their schedule. So, it was zip around the apartment for this, and for that, and back again for this, until sometime during Letterman when the label went on the box and I whirled back and hummed with satisfaction at a task complete. Pause. Download Bedtime Task list-reprioritized (dishes in sink - tomorrow); zip; horizontal tilt; sleep mode. At last.

Today's lunchtime I had to race across town for a flu shot and then back to another office to pick up films for some minor surgery scheduled for Monday. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday and need to get to my old bank (to close account) and new bank which means more lunchtime race-abouts. Life-bot's batteries are about out of zip.
