Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

 

Trinity CI 1:07 a.m.

Yes it is very late here in West Virginia. I am checking in so late because i just can't sleep and I didn't get a chance to check in today because it was a non-stop running day for me. I had to be at my college at 8:20 a.m. to act as an usher for our Shakespeare festival. After that I had class, then ortho appointment, then back home. Then got DD and myself ready for fiance's banquet and then came back home and played with DD and watched Bride Wars. It was a great movie! Didn't really get any to-do's per say done because it was a non-stop day.

 

Here is what I have planned for later on today since it is technically Saturday-  my fav day of the week!

 

-Mail out all thank-you cards.

-Continue laundry

-MB DD's and my room.

-Clean bathroom 

-vacuum upstairs

-Make up 1-2 day's lesson plan for Adol lit assignment.

-Study for 30 minutes for literature quiz.

-Read a few chapters of lit book. 

-Relax.

-Relax.

-Relax. 

checking in

Just checking in. Subed today, my husband said they called at 7:30am to ask where I was, I got there 7:35. They never mentioned anything to me when I got there, the day went well and so I did not know about it until I got home. I got that same old sick feeling, knowing it was because I was procratinating. Feeling "shame" and bad- now they know...

J need to rest and I need to ask my HP to change my thoughts. I know 5 minutes is no big deal but I am lumping all my failures with it. This school setting probably would find some other reason to judge me if it wasn't this., they are nasty.......  At least the kids like and accept me

Tomorrow I make a plan. I need to "keep it simple". I need to be grateful for the baby steps tommorrow again.

thanks for being here

Thank you all for the hugs, sympathy, prayers, and encouragement.  The funeral service for my Dad was very nice and lots of friends and family were there.

I'm going to get Mom this morning and take her to the Social Security Administration to deal with some of the paperwork.   I'm glad I promised to do this otherwise I might just sit around and feel depressed all day.   It seems that the world should have changed in some fundamental way overnight, but it did not and we will go on.  

Thank you all for being here . . .

isabo ci 850am

Today I am eating healthy.  I have the food in the house, there is no need to go shopping.  I wll set my timer on and follow the set plan.

My son is home from school today.  He's got a cold that has worn him right down, I hope to give him some time to just rest....he doesn't like that he has to stay in his room though.  It's either that or school, there is no point staying home if you just do your regular stuff!

My list consists of phone calls, laundry, dishes, supper?, sowing some flower seeds, organizing paperwork and paying bills.  I feel good about this list.

timer is set - 45 min to play on the computer, and then off to continue list.

til then...

Mansah checking in

Obviously I didn't really manage to go through with my non-procrastinative plans of two days ago. I haven't had any sleep whatsoever tonight because I hoped I would write on my essay, it was due last Friday but today is my last chance of actually hadning it in. It's nearly ten now, deadline is 4pm so I have about 6 hours. All I ask, all I hope, all I will work for today is to finish this essay - write something that I can print out and hand in. It doesn't even matter if I end up failing anyway, if I can just hand something in. I think I am also stupidly making this into a sign - if I manage to finish something on this essay I will believe I can summon the courage to revise as well. It's never too late!

 

Writing an essay isn't dangerous. Sitting down in front of your compouter is not a bad thing. You can do it! You can! I've managed to leave my house which is something at least, there are not as many distractions at uni.

Come on Mansah, come on, come on, come on!!!!

Deej CI 01/05

Today's items

  1. update magazine copy numbers and email + write letter for bank changes
  2. distribute flier (there may be hold-ups from others but I should make what progress I can)
  3. continue on web pages
  4. process bills/claims + prep for tree measurement

Didn't do the letter yet (it will have to wait) but did update all the contacts that were very out of date - feels good.

Happy day - got most things done and the other is an on-going task anyhow. Feel positive enough to do the things lumped on me for next week (Monday's and Tuesday's anyway)

For the weekend...review will (MUST DO) plus other bits I'm easily motivated to do.

Good weekend to you all.

chick checks in

I like having the starter ready so much!

I want to commit to going to a certain appt tomorrow with willing open attitude even though I would rather get out of it. Andnot being grouchy if anyone makes unwelcome requests while I'm there.

editor

w/e plans

hmm... I'm just posting to

hmm... I'm just posting to recommit to a full day tomorrow. banish fear and resistance. And to bring this to the forum list again. :)

Head start on tomorrow's CL

Hi All,

As per someone's request, I'm starting the daily thread the night before. 

This quote used to be read in one of my meetings back home (in its entirety)... though I have to think in terms of 2 hours, 1 hour... sometimes just 15 minutes!

My CL:

1 hour practice (prep for rehearsal, dech if time permits); rehearsal; exercise; 3 hours practice (review Mo, prepare at least 2 dech); harm hw.

 

Okay, getting day started

Hi All,

 I'm finally up and out of bed.  Not sure why it takes me so long to get up in the morning.  I've been getting to bed early.  Usually fall a sleep right away.  Only thing is that I have been waking up in the middle of the night tossing and turning, but yesterday didn't last very long.

At least I have been having rather productive days in terms of concentrated practice.  More to be revealed, I suppose! 

Okay, having coffee and jumping in the shower so I can review a bit for the rehearsal.
