MD Check-In (Mid-day update/underlined)
OPENING THEME:
(i) CARRYOVER LESSON-LEARNED from FRIDAY: the older the task (bills and clothes), the higher the mountain one has to climb to simply begin the first step.....I failed on those two tasks today (Friday)
(ii) WAS HESITANT to do this Sat. check-in (and same for Fri checkout because of those two big task shortfalls). Once I forced myself to DO THE FRI CHECK-OUT, I am surprisingly re-focused to continue this (in my first wk of on-line checks)
(iii) HISTORICAL "SAT. MINDSET" one of papering over previous week's shortcomings and mentally delaying the worrying about them to Sun night/Mon morning. This was compounded by resulting anxiety/bad mood (mine) impacting family weekends. So far, anxiety under control, mainly since objectives realistic/limited
SO, big goal for TODAY: do ANY little bit on (a) clothes, (b) bills, (c) realtor/house hunt, (d) car .............but do SOME for each category....
SPECIFIC AGENDA:
EARLY IN DAY - sleep in a bit (for a change) breakfast with kids, go to birthday party with one and/or to karate class with the other. I must correct "yesterday's news: I did not get to finding or wrapping present last night. Could not find it in garage box. Panicked this morning, espec since party early. Then I breathed and said, ok I'll go to party, make an apology, and come back with pricier gift from store. What made it worse was seeing old boxes of stuff 1-5 yrs old in garage. Finally, after sweating, happily found present, packed it with son's help (an unplanned pleasant teaching experience), and got to party on time -- and stayed and relaxed/ate/drank at party (a pleasantly unplanned break) while talking to host about houses (so began sm step for item (c))
THEN, after 2 pm: get to the above (a-b-c-d) dreaded "hangers'on" So now doing unplanned check-in update. Will get some rest and try beginning (a, b, d)
UNLIKE FRI, this time I am trying this as a 4-part focus, not a detailed blow-by-blow.....however it shakes out..........roll dem dice!

Well that did not go according to plan. My tum was bad so I stayed in and worked on some admin stuff to do with my health. I've finished it, four letters with enclosures and argument and it is finished and so am I. I've posted the letters and filed everything and there is nothing more to do for a few weeks and not much to do anyway.
Done:
As well as letters above
Emails post

Relax and take it easy - maybe watch a programme on the web
