Hi Pro Buddies!

Drove to gym, worked, got lunch; after work had 2 Volunteer Group meetings.

Today I felt enough energy to try again on a project I have been procrastinating on.  My attorney told me to say a certain thing.  I called and said that.  The organization said no, it isn't that way.  Having tried about 3 previous ways to do this, it slows-motions me down when it doesn't work, and then it is partly timing and partly takes a while to build up my courage to try again.  Anyway, 10% an issue, but 90% I'm saying there are reasons I procrastinate on this!!!  I will try to call 1 more time this week and ask 1-2 other things; then it will be a matter of timing in preceding further during the next month or two.  Anyway, that's the best I can share about it, with having a boundary.  Thanks for letting me share!

Have a great night! :)

Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)

Today has been a good and a bad day: I have not been here for a bit and I feel a bit disoriented coming back. Thank you, Edge and Moving, for your wonderful thread starters for today and yesterday.

I am coming up against resentment in my life lately and I want to own it here so I can move on. As self seeking is slipping its way in, it helps to have this place to say my truth so the feelings do not mount up and procrastination begins.

I have a few things that are haunting me that I need to move on. One is the need to sign and email off to the college's my taxes. The second is to mail off the actual taxes once the originals come in the mail.

The third is to begin the heavy lifting of my practicum.

Today I was happy to realize that I could put my life in better order if I went to work a little later: tomorrow I will do the same so that I can cover some time not currently staffed. It was a good thing, because I left the house with the kitchen taken care of, the laundry begun and things a bit more straightened out. I walked to work today and then had a quieter day.

I also need to finish up something I had been given to work on some time ago that I am dreading turning in because it is so late.

for tonight: read, meditate, quiet time, work the program
For tomorrow: get up on time, straighten, 15 minutes on the living room, paperwork, go to bank, pay wind bill, get to work by 10

Peace everyone

HI All,

Need to connect with you all.

I'm unemployed, not receiving unemployment due to my stupid quitting of a job, been out of work for over 2 months - scary.  Have been willing to cut my hourly wage $6 to get work.  I'm still waiting to hear if I got that job.

In the meantime, I could be cleaning, organizing.  I only do the bare necessities and watch tv all day.

I'm recently abstinent in OA thank G_d again for 2+ months and I feel I'm getting through a depression, but still depressed.  I need to be working out, doing creative things that I must be doing.  All I'm doing is applying for jobs.  I found out there is a workout place that takes insurance and I won't go down and register.

I tell myself:  when I start working I will start doing everything else.  That doesn't make any sense, but that's how I'm living.

Anyway, that's it for now.  Glad to be here.

Hope

Working from home today, taking dd to her first physical therapy appointment.  Life is gradually getting back to normal and today I commit to reinstating some good daily habits that have fallen by the wayside in all the confusion:

Drink water
Exercise
Healthy diet

Take vitamins and anti-craziness meds
Set MITs 
Prayer and meditation time
Clear my mind of all the clutter and visualize a successful and enjoyable day
Write down my top ten goals
Remind myself of what's important and stop worrying about the trivial

I did manage to hold on to the "collection" habit, so all of the to-dos and ideas that race around my head are captured in my notebook or Remember the Milk and transferred to the appropriate GTD list. 

First item on the agenda is exercise.  I have been exercising maybe 2-3 times a week and I want to get back onto the 6 days a week plan. 

Here's to an enjoyable and productive day everyone!
