Today I ended up with 92834938 little bureaucratic tasks to do.  In some ways, I don't mind days like that, because it means every fifteen minutes or so I get to cross something else off the very long to-do list.  On the other hand, it also means I am not working on my greater list of Things To Do--those overarching important goals that need more time devoted to them than fifteen minutes.  Like writing.

On the other hand, graduating and teaching and paying the bills and being healthy and having a functioning computer all feed the greater goals at least tangentially.  I guess I need to remember that my to do list isn't a list of things that are ends unto themselves.  The little tasks build toward the greater whole--and the greater whole of my life is going very well indeed.

(I still want to sneak in some writing today, though.)
