I keep thinking I can get everything set up into some nice stable configuration and just glide along. One more repair and the motorcycle will run forever. Get all my automatic payments configured, and then just monitor. Put all the right files in all the right folders, share them appropriately, and the system will take care of itself.

Of course this never works. The cats food bowl must be replenished every morning. My food bowl must be replenished - and while I am living without a refrigerator - this means frequent trips to the grocery store. I expect that. Nothing stays put. If you are not repairing and improving, you are declining.

In the past few weeks, however, two organizations I thought were “stable” have suddenly disrupted my life. A service we had been using for file storage is shutting down.

The service I had been using for my automatic payments notified me they are going to erase all my history, and erase all my vendor set ups. Sometime later this year I will be able to go in an rebuild my payment schedule. Instead, I am migrating now to another service.

No time for rest.
