That book index

I did a final check of the book index I have been working on and sent it off last night.

For the most part of Ali I am abstract-thinking, bigger-picture person, who is not so good at administration, thinks people who write lists and schedules and paste them around their house are from another planet, and who is quite fine with the fact that there are 10, 558 emails in my inbox (OK so maybe that is a few too many and I should deal with that).

But there is a pedantic, perfectionist place I can go to when I need to do tasks such as this. (I go to the same place when I have to cut things out for Sunday School craft – I watch others slopping around the edge of three sheets at once and I have to look away.) I just wouldn’t want to take up permanent residence there.
