Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
I let a bit of clutter/dishes/paper pile on table etc accumulate (not to mention office); even though I'm doing way better at avoiding this than a year ago, I find that I'm now more sensitive to it--it triggers feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start at a lower level of clutter.
Now I am telling myself: a little effort will make a visible difference. And starting.
Goal: start, make a difference, start filling giveaway bag
I've been up for two hours goofing around on the computer. I've been under the weather for a couple of days but feel much better today. I need to go invite the kids for dinner and that will be my motivation to get off my a$$ and get to the grocery store and straighten up this messy house.
My daughter came home for the weekend. That was the good news. The bad news was that she brought two kittens with her. LOL, it wasn't that bad, her roommates found these kittens weeks ago and had been procrastinating about finding a place for them. They are only allowed to have a maximum of three cats, and with these two they had FIVE cats in an apartment. *whew*. So, she find a nokill shelter to take them and brought them home so we could drop them off yesterday. Maybe she doesn't take after me after all :)
So, anyway, here goes . . . call kids, make todolist, finish grocery list, get to the store.

Unusual for me to check in on a Saturday, but
1) It's a gloomy day here, so that means lots of inside tasks
2) I'm needing to work today because I've gotten so little done during the week.
Tasks:
1) Laundry
2) Meeting notes and draft letter for Project O.
3) Filing after my Friday triage
More after those things are done.

Hi Pro Buddies!
Thanks for the Cyber Teddy Hug, Edge! :)
I'm going cycling today, also, so I'm trying to get ready for it, too! ;) lol
Before cycling, I want to start bathroom swishies, line up some stuff to take with me today, and do some preliminary straightening of the condo.
I'm going to be In and Out today, so I'm not sure how much I will get to update my CI during the day.
Have a great day! :)
