88 Batts? And I was so proud of 10 in a day...I'm a bit crushed and heading for a cup of coffee...really? 88 Batts?

Wow thats a lot of work! Impressive!

But tell me- you don't wear shoes in the house do you? Think about it - where have the soles been - and you want that in your home?

88 Batts?!?!? Holy cow. That's just...unbelievable. And I'm leaving them ALL for other people because I have more than my fair share already. Just got two Dennys and two Medianoches - they were hereay home to greet me after our effing bus had an effing blowout in the middle of effing nowhere which added two hours to the 3.5 hour trip back from NYC. The batts made it all better.

And I wish I could listen to jazzy upbeat motivating music when I'm working , but since I'm playing myself, it wouldn't be practical.

My hands hurt just from reading about your 88-batt grind. Your self-discipline awes me. (And speaking of coffee, I just remembered I left big mug'o'caffeine in the microwave to reheat... about an hour ago...)

Wow. I wish my day could be as productive as yours! I'm on my feet all day too, but somedays, I just don't seem to get through to those inquiring little minds that watch me sing, draw, dance, and turn handsprings to get them to understand English.

And hey - when DOES the pretty come back?

Yup. Like that here, too. Except that the family configurations are different, so I don't have to feel guilty for working late (and while the offspring lives here, she's also old enough now that it's not my responsibility to get her out the door).

Okay, need to prep for end-of-month bookkeeping before I head to the coffee shop to work this morning. I take the computer and leave the house three times a week so there are at least three blocks of time where a limited, rather than unending, series of tasks are competing for my attention.

Great music you may want to discover: Grand Derangement. Nova Scotia. http://www.grandderangement.com/ I think their music would be great for batt-making.

I can't listen to music when I'm working with words, but when I'm processing images, I get to. . . .

Your day sounds like a lot of mine here lately....it's all good but exhausting at the same time.

I look forward to giving one of your batts a try someday.

I think it takes a real strength of will to keep working when there are all the distractions of home around you.

This time, it wasn�t even a trick � like the mix CD he made and left in my car, which turned out to be beyond a rickroll: it was entirely made up of New Order extended dance versions.

Confession time: I'd really love that as a house-cleaning mix.

My manchild says "Purse of Beer" instead of "Perservere". I think his way is better. I wish you a purse of beer. Let's make some dang mittens already! Love MSH
