First, I do like to write. I mainly do it as a self-meditation. I mainly don’t do it because I feel there’s always something more productive to accomplish. I’ve got to remember that this, writing, is an accomplishment. The problem is, there’s always a problem, I prefer to write like I think. Lots and lots of rambling, erratic punctuation…especially ellipses.
If, or better yet – when, I do actually commit to this, ha!, I’ll make some sort of boilerplate to help wave off the writing police.
Anyway, I’ve been spending a bit of time on Communications or EmComms. Writing up some PACE Plans, checklists, and cheat sheets. Time for an aside!
Cheat Sheet. How have I never written those two words next to each other? No way I have, or I misspelled cheat when I did. I further realized that those two words don’t actually rhyme. Personally, they sort of do for me. I have also discovered I pronounce the word cheat differently except when followed by the word sheet. No way on earth I wouldn’t have noticed this before. Zowie!
So the scenario is:
Two adult daughters have to separately travel about 30 miles from their home to mine. Should they need to do so during a catastrophe, what is the best way to have them remain in communications with me at home?
It’s a really good, and grim, scenario to gameplay. First run it as your overinflated 20 year younger self. Then start getting real. Then walk it back to a young lady or man that isn’t as prepared beyond being willing to keep a backpack with a big envelope in it to open for an emergency.Now my children are in between those two points, but I wrote the plan out in detail from that complete sheep that just took the red(or is it blue) pill perspective. It’s layered and incomplete. But I’ve got to embrace imperfection.
