It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day

(U2 lyrics)

MD check-in

Goooooood Monday, PA!

PREFACE: I am realizing even specific short task lists may not be good for me.....experimentation continues. Thanks for sounding board here. I might need check-in more for day-day-analysis or what & why. Last wk's check-in proved more valuable in that vein; otherwise, check-ins are becoming "groan....yet-one-more-list-to-manage" and could lead to further procrastinating by papering over my failings and fooling myself by shortening my lists. Yep, I can lie to myself and to you, both quite well.

LAST 48 HOURS: not so good with me -- No interent connection (a good reason and also an excuse) as well as bad moods, i.e. home arguments....good reason and yet not an excuse, but a manifestation of not getting to my weekend things. Typical Sunday spell: over anticipate, get the "homework-not-complete" style Sunday jitters, get exhausted, and sleep earlier than unplanned with little done.

Overall goal [underlined from Sat:]: do ANY little bit on (a) clothes, (b) bills, (c) realtor/house hunt, (d) car .......but do SOME for each category.... 

What I did get done on SUNDAY: SLEEP - for a change, somwhat more restful than usual, SUMMER CAMP bags sorted/packed [needed, but was not written down], HOUSE CLEANING (was not on list but was important--wife reminded me); although cleaning toilets felt pleasant, this was an avoidance of the (a) clothes task since cleaning was done to make Monday more palatable with spouse.

THIS MORN: missed aerobics (went bit too late) but instead I did this: NECESSARY PHONE CALLS for other kiddo/my health appts reshuffled to accomodate needs this wk and so TOMORROW's physiotherapy (PT) quickly re-sched to today AND done, so as to do aerobics tomorrow. (Equally good - I admit I got lucky)

Lesson learned: all-or-none aint the way to go.....ok, to reshuffle....(Since I did NOT meet my (a-b-d), I began (c) in earnest pretty well (this was unavoidable since most open houses are only Sun) and now I am suddenly (false euphoria??) remotivated to do even more of that, I must calmly refocus on (a-b-d-) for next 48 hrs equally.
