Progress

[mrissa]

There is a very large map of Medieval or possibly Renaissance Iceland hanging over my desk now. It is framed in cherry, and it makes me very happy. And it is no longer propped against the second short story bookcase behind me, and "hang Iceland map" no longer graces my to-do list.

I am trying not to think of the fact that I now need to re-hang three other things that used to be in this general area, and that the to-do list now includes that behavior. Because this is progress; this is improvement. It's just that lately it feels like progress and improvement are kind of cascading. I am threatened by a tidal wave of progress. I got all brave and made my phone calls awhile ago (I hate phone calls), and there were four separate service peoples in my home today because of it. Which is good, sort of: the cable guy is done, and the notary is done...but the piano tuner will return, twice, and the handybeing will return at least once, because they're not at all done.

But this is progress. Progress, progress, progress. And this particular segment of progress is very shiny.

Hooray for progress!

I am threatened by a tidal wave of progress.

(You do have a way with words, don't you.)

I should be so lucky as to have such a threat impending…

I'm not entirely sure it's lucky. But we will try to bodysurf through the progress successfully.

Cheers! May your progress continue to be shiny and...progressive. Progressing? How many more times to I need to type progress before it starts sounding funny to your mental ear?

Nope, you're there! No further progress needed!

I have a nice map of Narnia on my bedroom wall. Not sure if it's Medieval or Renaissance either. *g*

Look at the border with Archenland -- that's the easiest way to tell. It was set considerably below the mountain pass until the beginning of the Renaissance era.
