greater than ourselves
could restore us
to sanity.

Journey 2 pm
Late check in! We have some folks here from out of town working with us on a project, so I'm tied up with them most of the day. We're getting a lot done though, so that's good.
The weekend was reasonably productive for me, I got my taxes finished although I never printed them out and signed them. The kids showed up early and then stayed late, and we had a good time. It's warm enough to play outside with my grandson for extended periods of time now and that's a lot of fun. He can entertain himself for hours by just running around the yard. He runs and runs until he can't run anymore.
dd's first physical therapy appt. is tomorrow and I need to be with her, and I also need to be in the office with these dudes. It's stressing me out to have to choose between work and family. I don't have to do that much anymore now that my kids are older and it's not a pleasant choice, but I'm choosing family over work . . . the choice is made, but I'm still stressing over it. arrggghh.
Anyway, probably won't be checking in much today but will be thinking about you guys.

I'm abstaining from the whole chatbox discussion as I'm not a big chatter - at most I drop in to say hello once in a while.
However, I would like to say that I really benefit from the fellowship here, as I think we all do. We appreciate all the work you do Pro and miss you when you're not around.
That's my $0.02 worth.

c ci 8pm
i am stalled. so i post.
first, then: look at yesterday's list and update.
then: make today's list.
so hit preview, and looks ok, so as i got to hit "post comment"--ie as it becomes time to actually DO the thing i just wrote--i feel the anxiety rising in my chest. Steps 1-3.
but how could that be, since it was written for AA not PA?! I am in awe.
Ok, now sadly, after writing that, the anxiety is back. I'm going to have to just hit "Post" and do steps 1-3 again. And this is just my life. What i have to do to get by. I accept it. Not ideal, by any means. But progress not perfection, right PAers?
c ci 5pm
worked on MIT. made pretty good progress. I'm happy.
c ci 1pm
had trouble starting. worked for about 1hr tho. It's just later than i thot.

c ci 3pm

Right, Clement :)
I would go a step further and say that in our case, progress *is* perfection :)
About that anxiety, "nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action". My mantra - I keep chanting it to myself whenever the anxiety gets too bad. Used to get anxiety attacks because of my procrastination. Hope it helps.
I'm rootin' for ya!

Just finished scooping the kitty litter and I'm thinking it could do with changing. Usually the cleaning lady changes it once each week, but I think she didn't come last week... Blah. S'pose it's up to me then. :-( I hate washing the litter box, but it's one of those things that you can't put off for long. I'm mentioning it here because I don't want to give myself the option of weaseling out of it :-p Now I'll be held accountable if I don't do it :-)
