Recycler CI 9:10pm EST
Hi Pro Buddies!
Today I did the minutes for my volunteer organization (they are due Tuesday, but I could have done them anytime during the last month, so yet another example of procrastination lol). April goal: maybe doing the minutes within a few days after the April 8 meeting? ;)
I also remembered to show up for my massage, which is needed due to aging muscles that get tight!!!
That was all I "had" to do today. I also made a cake & frosted it. And wrote e-letters to 2 regional friends and 1 international friend.
Now I need to stack up the bags to take to work/gym tomorrow and then I'll be ready!
Have a good night, everyone! :)

pro's CI - 9pm
I don't want to be here because I'm so angry about this whole chatbox thing, but I'm finding that I'm dependent on this site to transition to a new task.
I just finished a major redesign of a Web site. I need to stop and do other things now.

Hi!
I'm going to stay out of the loop about what's been going on, since I don't have time to be a chatbox person; but just want to say I appreciate all that you do, and hope things will even out soon!!! Take care of yourself!!!
Hugs!!!

very sorry, pro
The last thing i would want to do is alienate the person who started this site that i have received so much benefit from.
Let me take this time to thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I hope you go to bed tonight comforted by the knowledge of the dozens, if not hundreds, of people who's lives you've helped.
Thank you, Pro!

e taxes
okay, I am very proud of myself for the silliest of reasons, but for me this is progress. As I waited here for the stuff to come through I got this horrendous headache and then ended up being ill in the bathroom. The headache grew and I could barely stand it, but I waited it out here. The tax guy had faxed me some huge number of pages of the taxes. I could not tell what I had received so I called him back to confirm. I SO wanted to go home and crawl into bed, but I made myself double check the pages today (i know, i know, but it was REALLY hard) and found 4 critical pages missing. I called him back, interrupted a meeting with a client and got all done.
I am absolutely a procrastinator. I am afraid to finish things, to take responsibility for things, but today I survived doing so.
love, me
PS the headache and stomach stuff are now fading

I'm updating one of my Web sites - something that's been on the to-do list for a long time. I don't want to spend all day at it, but several hours is fine.

e's late afternoon check in
today was a pretty productive day so far. I woke up and went into overload mode cleaning the kitchen and front room. The rest of the house needs it, too, but for now, I am pleased to have the kitchen floor mopped, etc. My son woke up and asked me why everything was shiny and what the occasion was (not a good sign that I have been keeping up on housework!)
I made pancakes for breakfast, took a nap, am now at G's office receiving a lengthy fax: crossing my fingers that everything comes through as it is the 2006 and 2007 tax return. Once that is off my plate I might allow myself to move on with other things!
I have been very frustrated with that lately. I start up one large project and then can't even think of doing basic living stuff. I can't cook/won't clean/laundry is a hassle. It is not that I have not had the time, it is that the idea of taking on something else is nauseatingly exhausting, even though it is more emotional than real.
In any case, the fax is coming through, so I might actually get this in the mail tomorrow and feel better! I would like to celebrate getting this silly thing done by relaxing and/or going out for supper, but I know that I will regret it financially.
However, I can and will do something nice for myself, ie, take a walk, lie out in the sunshine, etc.
The other thing that would be nice is to have the porch properly cleaned and the summer furniture out. And practicum is still out there not touched, but that is okay for today: just because I have not finished something else which is an ugly procrastinated mess does not mean that I cannot pat myself on the back for making progress.
I am realizing that I am getting a headache and that I am stressed out! Time to breathe.

Gratz E on the taxes!

Thanks, Jo! I know, I think if I pinch myself I will wake up, but what is really funny is he told me my taxes are not due until JUNE 15TH because I live overseas!
