Journey noon - finally went to the doctor!
That is a very cheerful graphic, thanks!
I broke down and went to the doctor this morning. I hate going to the walk-in clinic, because I don't like being around all those sick people, even if I am one of them.
But I found myself contemplating taking the dog's antibiotics, so I figured it was time to give in.
She gave me the super duper antibiotics that you only take one a day for three days so hopefully that will knock out this sinus infection although they make me feel sick to my stomach. I've been home for two hours but just now starting to work. I've been trying to work the past couple of days but not setting the world on fire by any means, just kinda slogging through the week. I'm on vacation next week so I really need to get some work done this week, too. I suppose I could work some next week to make up for the hours I wasn't working because I was feeling ill ... or NOT! We'll see. Anyway, the thing to do now is to work at a steady pace this afternoon and just let go of the outcome. I'll do what I can and if I don't feel that I've put in enough hours I'll count one day as a sick day. I've only called in sick one day this year and that's because I was puking my guts out. (sorry for the visual there haha).
Anyway, I'm gonna turn on some Warren Zevon and get to work now. There's a particular song I always feel like singing when I go to the doctor. It's called - with more apologies - "My Sh*t's F**ked Up" I won't post a link to the video because I know those sites are triggers for some people, but someday listen to that song it will make you smile - a sad, ironic smile - but a smile nonetheless.
I'm rambling, L8tr!

Hi everybody. Been working at a steady pace this morning, now off to chiro appt then back ehre for lunch, some AH research, and at 4pm talking the dog and picking up the grandkids for a walk in the park. Then dinner, meeting, early bedtime, God willing.
Yesterday was a learning lesson in waiting, trusting God and His friends. Actually it sucked to go through it, but it is done. Thank God.
Hope everyone has a steady-growing day. God loves you and so do I!

Show up (done)
I need to call places for ride back to airport. I am frozen, I don't know why, but I will call now.
Done. I don't know why I get that frozen feeling, no one would know by looking or talking to me, so why do I obey the voice in my head that tells me you are frozen?Am I insane? Sometimes it all feels surreal.
I guess the mundane, day to day life sometimes is surreal. Baby steps all day, reached out, 12 step groups, one more day, did not shut down.This too shall pass.

Good Morning All,
Today is an easy one as I am on semi vacation today. I still need to have a good task list I have learned this keeps me focused even on days that I have few obligations and a great deal of freedom. So I have a sense of what I would like to see happen today...
morning phone checkbreakfastcreate schedule for the dayput recycle out for the dayget numbers for tires/alignment of carSpirit
Rexroth check in
Thanks for starting the thread Lucky. Awoke today with a cold and to a mess which is only partially because of blocked sink and flood from Sunday/Monday.
Done:
Chose to apply for psychology course rather than craft course and applied for it
Reflected upon meeting yesterday with psychologist
Found Xmas cards for hand delivery for people in house
Cleared up a little and now waiting for plumber due to come at about midday
Checked todo lists for before Xmas and New Year
Todo:
Clear up after plumber and clear up bits before I don't need to leave everything
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth update
The plumber has been and the problem is resolved and I'm working on tidying up several days of washing up and disinfecting floor, cupboards and work surfaces covered in foul water.
Email back from psychlogy course and I'm on the list. There is an assessment interview first.
I am very tired and can do one job at a time.
Regards Rexroth

Glad the plumbing is fixed but sorry for the yucky mess!

and a hug to you Jo
I'm well on the way to clearing the mess and should not be having similar problems in future.
So thanks Jo.
Before Christmas I need to buy a box of chocks and write two cards. Hope I can make it. I also have a lot of stuff that I can do and would be in my interest to do.
I'm reflecting on why I procrastinate and relate this to the CBT and think I understand more now. Understanding is fine and it's action that's needed.
Regards Rexroth

I'm home after my all-nighter! Didn't quite get out at 6.30, mostly because I was madly cleaning all the coffee splats off my desk :) so missed the train I wanted, but I'm home now and about to have some breakfast and embark on travel preparations! I made a plan on the train, which I'll share (I'm not bothering with estimated times because I'm in a hurry - part of me says I shouldn't take the time to check in at all, but I think I need the motivation to keep moving and not get sleepy!)
Pack: Clothes (inc smart clothes/shoes),
wash stuff, 
reading & writing stuff, 
script, 
passport,
spare key,
Christmas paper & cards, 
water bottle, 
PHONE, 
phone charger 
Charge phone first but don't forget it!
Set Doctor Who to record
Give rats plenty of food and water
Fill bird feeder
Maybe bring scare letter to deal with?
Collect post from outside
OMG MY NEW BANK CARD! No need to go to bank now!
Leave light on in house
Take down C's grandmother's address
Hide computer?
Tidy house (last!)
Leave at 10am
In Windsor:
Top up phone
Call work re spud gun
Key to S
Bank - £40
Cath Kidston - dog & spud gun (if needed)
Post office (if needed)
Leave Windsor on 12.21 train - remember to get a return ticket
Edit: Eurgh, really tired and falling asleep now, don't think I'm going to manage leaving at 10. 10.30 will do. I'll give myself 20 mins to do everything that isn't packing or tidying, 20 to pack and 20 to tidy. I can get a half hour later train out of Windsor as well as long as it's not delayed.
Coffee!
Edit: Done, 10.30!!
