Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

One of the odd things about dropping in on Wikipedia briefly on a regular basis (I try to look at my watchlist a couple of times a week) is that I get periodic messages on my user page, about articles I have no recollection of, because I worked on them five years ago. On at least one occasion, someone thought I had created such an article, because I was either the last editor before, or the first after, the migration to the current software, so a complete article history goes back to me. So I'm asked to defend against deletion a page that I made an attempt to turn into something sane, on a topic that probably doesn't need an article.

The latest I've been asked to attend to is "Early Infanticidal Childrearing." The note says, under the title,

Remember that?

A new editor, Cesar Tort, has done a major edit of the article and changed the title to [[Psychohistorical views on infanticide]], but I still think it is highly problematic. I had a detailed exchange with him in which I set out my problems with the revised article and he responded [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Early_infanticidal_childrearing#My_own_objections_to_the_article] here - it would take some time to read through, but several years ago you had many valuable comments, and I would be grateful if you could look at the revised article and my comments, and those of others in sections below mine, and add your voice.

While I may have had valuable comments then, right now I am shorter on valuable time, so I'm not planning to pursue this.

More saved comments. ( favors and owing people things, heirlooms, anything worth doing…, the difference between consequences and punishment, hugging )

I need to think about priorities, given the amount of time this job+commute is using.

Some of it is easy: self-care, which includes enough sleep and enough time of taking it easy though awake. cattitude. Other people close to me, but that's more complex than it sounds: for example, rysmiel and I had been exchanging large amounts of email, but I won't be online during the day and that's the only time Rysmiel is, so that conversation is slowed and, probably, changed somewhat by slowing.

I need to resist the temptation to give priority to things because they're now-or-not-at-all. For example, dinner Thursday with Farah, Lenore, and Lise was a lot of fun, and I said yes to it before I knew how much energy I would or wouldn't have. But this was the first time I'd met Farah, and I can and do see a lot of Lise, and there's no practical reason I couldn't see Lenore another time, though somehow we never seem to get together.

Mindfulness and balance.
