PART THREE
TEXOKIE’S QHRISTMAS MELTDOWN
Thanks Mother, for helping me think through my Qhristmas prep problems, but what AM I gonna do about my Q work????
I’m SO FAR BEHiiIIiiIIiiIIiiiiiiiiind! What am I gonna do first????
*Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) is wise in the way of all her small charges, and has actually heard this kind of complaint MANY times. She keeps a large Qookie jar on her shelf, and had just finished filling it, expecting several more visits of this kind today. She knows the signs.*
*She pats Dragonlet Texokie on the back and gives her a hug. She tries to straighten the little dragonlet’s hair, but gives it up as a Lost Cause - for now*
Oh my poor little dragonlet. Stop trying to drink the Mississippi dry! Please remind me again of what things are stacking up on you.
*texokie wails, but actually engages her brain to organize the specific complaints*
I have stacked up research data that needs to be written up. I’m about 600 posts behind in my reading. I had just made up my mind to catch up on reading the thread posts, when Q had a Fewmet Flurry! So now I’m behind in that reading too! I have thoughts about some of the puzzles in the new ones, but I’d be posting blind and that is such a pain not to know what the conversation has been…. So then I look like an idiot!
*texokie winds down again, and stares at the floor in front of her *
By the way, before I forget, I saw you out on the ledge yesterday cleaning my windows. It is really so much brighter in here now. Thanks so much, texokie!
*texokie mumbles,*
You’re welcome.
*Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) smiles and thinks for a moment.*
We know that there is a LOT of material to cover, texokie… And at Q’s, direction, Anons, the various Q boards, twitter, and youtube broadcasters, and each of our Qanteen FReeQs, and YOU are in the midst of a reading, research, and posting frenzy being done by thousands - if not millions of people!
I’m also certain that our Lurks are very busy too, trying to keep up. There are so many ideas and so many directions to follow. It IS difficult to focus! And you are not the only one with that problem! But just think of what we have all learned together over this past year!
What is it you MOST want to do? - and don’t worry about being an idiot. We are all idiots together - AND so very Deplorable! Set that concern aside right now!
You know as well as I do that sometimes an “idiot” remark really CAN trigger a profound thought in someone else, which leads to insight! LOL! and of course sometimes they don’t - but we all get a laugh, and maybe that’s just as good!
*texokie considers what Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) is saying, and she decides that maybe she wants to do a little bit of idiotic posting and answering pings and email.... and then, go out to the green houses with Darlin, and help greeneyes with the plants. And she REALLY wants to go out in the 4 wheel drive pickup with her Darlin’ to get their tree and the boughs for the Qanteen Mantle*
I think I’d like to do a little bit of posting, and then spend some time with my Darlin’!
That sounds like a good plan, small Dragonlet. You should do just that. Post a bit, and THEN take a break. If you feel like posting an impression on new Q, note you are posting blind - but I’d say your calling is to be one of our researchers. Perhaps you should focus on that. Don’t be so hard on yourself! Do what is in front of you to do!
