hope4meandu check-in (noonish)

Thanks Rexroth for the starter.

I related a lot ((Vic)), continued prayers and healing.

Even though I feel I'm not doing as good as I should be with this procrastination, I thankfully, consistently keep coming back. This is my first good group experience in quite a whilem and, house-cleaning is no where I want it to be, but it's better then my last apartment.

For the past week, I've been in a depression and haven't done much. Just wanted to check-in here, to keep the muscles flexed.

Great day all!!

♥Prayers & guidance needed & appreciated for my Yoffee's healing.♥

Thursday's Scribbler CI

I'm getting seriously out of synch here lately. Spending too much time goofing around with music-related  activities and not enough focus on income-generating work. There are also some cost-saving things I need to do, such as getting cheaper car insurance, which have been ignored. Hard to be perfect, I guess. Here goes another shot at it:

Prep

  • Get up by seven  (not even close)
  • Coffee, paper, water plants
  • Healthy breakfast (too late for breakfast, it would be lunch now)
  • Checkins

Morning

  • Relist guitar and Sims game
  • Healthy lunch
  • Call 2 on password

Afternoon

  • S/u 6 Food10 intvws
  • Exercise - weights
  • file BN sample

Evening

  • Pickup kids
  • Healthy dinner
  • Fun w/kids
  • D/o kids
  • Practice setlist
  • Bed by 11

I think I can do all this, but I'm going to have to get going now and focus.

Later ... almost time to go pick up the kids, and I did almost nothing on the food10 article. But I got some important stuff done, and I feel good about the day overall, especially considering I started a couple of hours late.

thurs aug 5 (day 1)

Have created a recovery plan that I am very excited about.

Agnus checking in

Thanks for getting us started, Rex.  I jsut caught myself trying to overmanage J's life - preparing written evidence for his diabetes appt today to prove my point that his dr must insist that J stop bingeing on junk food, yada, yada, yada.  Truth is I'm just scared to lose him, but it's his life, and he hs a right to his path just as I do. The fact that I choose the fullest possible life and recovery today, while he prefers a small dry life today, doesn't have to be a problem unless I make it one.  So as of this minute, I ask HP to keep me from procrastinating my life by trying to manage his.  Thank you, God. Amen. 

Now, on with my life!

Continuing

9:03 AM: Atypically early for me to check in, because I am usually engrossed in my ritual morning review of email, news, and the like. However, I made some pretty good progress yesterday, and want to build on that today.

Goal 1: 20 minutes of clearing yesterday's almost finished reports from my desk. Most of these will just require the quick typo scan.

Back to report.
