Two of the three are some of my favorite existentialist writers. Dostoevsky is a close third. It's been said all problems are ones of time and/or distance. I think this was said before the advent of modern banking or they would have added gold in there as well to complete the triumvirate of components in the problems we all face.
My "crisis" this morning is the dreaded to do list, like half a year's worth hanging over my head in a way Damocles would understand.

All of the stuff I feel I need to do:
-get a paint and drywall guy to fix three areas in my house damaged by water from the broken water heater. $??
-make an appointment for three different medical procedures. a MRE, colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. $free!
-synch my work, shooting, travel and school schedules. i fear i have some mistakes in them....
-get the shutters on the west side of the house painted $500?
-hotels, flights, rental cars for all my upcoming shooting events out of state. $3,000
-plan and pay for the upcoming S Korea vacation for 3 people. $redacted
-sell two motorcycles and some accessories on craigslist to purchase others.
-prepare for Killer's return
-prepare for Juice Boxs' wedding
-get a custom screen door made for the front door. $1000
-buy the different stuff i want from the stuff sold 4 points earlier
-have a true gardener/landscape person come and fix my mostly dead bougainvillea and replace the ground cover in the back yard and add some fruit trees. $2000???
-do my volunteer time to keep a club membership in force
-new tires for my truck. $800. 90,000 mile service for my truck. $450. headlight refurbish $50.
-install new parts and oil changes on two motorcycles before selling them. $250
One hard 8 hour day on the phone could probably get the ball rolling on 3/4 of this stuff. But the inertia of it, the import of most of it and the dollar amounts involved have just paralyzed me. I just keep hoping it all works out on its own, in its own time.
