What I’ve been doing hasn’t actually been nothing, but that title goes with the song I’m posting at the end. Over Friday and Saturday, I did yard work on the bed of shrubbery next to our driveway and cleaned up some more of winter’s gift of leaves and spring’s gift of other tree stuff from our front walkways.
I’ve also continued the purging and reorganizing of several bins and files. I created these two large piles of paper to go to a shredding company next week.
As for the Neverending Saga, I MAY have finally figured out an angle for the chapter I’m writing. Too soon to say, because I’ve already made several false starts that ended up deleted. Hopefully tomorrow, I’ll get on paper what I mentally wrote while I was coloring today. I finished this mandala that my mother-in-law drew as a birthday gift for me. It’s brighter than the photo makes it look, but too much flash washed it out.
Inspired by bossa nova, Brian Wilson’s song was on the Beach Boys’ 1968 album Friends. About the minutiae of a day in the life, I once decided “Busy Doin’ Nothin'” was the forerunner to Suzanne Vega’s song “Tom’s Diner” from 1987, and that song’s parody, “Jeannie’s Diner” by Mark Jonathan Davis in 1990. You can find both of those latter songs on YouTube (along with the Beach Boys, below).
