Hey Guys,
Haven't been here consistently. Need to be.
Thankfully, work is going well & procrastination is very low, thank you HP and group!!!
I work for 2 attorneys (PS & PM), PS keeps telling me PM yells. This has happened to me before. My co-workers from my job 2 times ago, were warning me & warning me that my boss will yell at me. In my mind, I was sure he wouldn't. He did.
I fear the same thing here, because my mind again is saying "no he won't." PS told me he yelled at the old secretary her first week, and I can see the fallout for her. Things are unorganized, disoriented, depressed, etc. I know this will also be my plight, so I think I must say something to PS, in hopes that he will say something to PM.
At home, I'm procrastinating & beating myself up & need to do over the next 2 days:
Cleaning:
-oven; refrigerator; kitchen floors; bathroom; stairway; floors; kitchen cabinets & putting down shelf paper.
-step work
-volunteer work
-giving Yoffee bath
-clothes from friend
-where to get hair done
Thankfully, I've been very consistent in brushing my girl pretty much every day.
Good wishes and prayers to you all!!
♥Prayers & guidance needed & appreciated for my Yoffee's healing.♥
((Angus)) kind regards & prayers!!
I really can't stand this disease!!!

I got a lot of good things done today but not the paperwork I intended to do. It's time to out my denial: I am in full procrastination mode on paperwork again. There are now 7 piles:
3 small pile on my deskthanks to microbursting these are GONE! Replaced by one 3-item stack for personal focus tomorrow or Monday, and a small stack of work planning docs for Tuesday. YAY for PA!I am going to set a timer and microburst 5 minutes on the top left pile on my desk.

Man, having a hard time starting to work, kind of upset and confused about a few things, but need to put them aside and get to work.
For today I need to:
*Go grocery shopping (and look up price of condensed milk for a friend)
*Email re: harambee
*Final revisions of thesis proposal (I'll do one more quick proofread tomorrow, but anything other than typos needs to be changed today)
*Finish reading about signaling pathways
OK, feeling really overwhelmed...I'll start w/ signaling pathways

Providence, serendipity, coincidence, Law of Attraction. Whichever explanation one chooses; by showing up, my HP connected me with a co-recovery sponsor, for that I am grateful. Thank you PA.

So Tired.... Wanna cry....D':
Just got to Toronto, and I have way too much to do. I haven't been able to eat since 10 am, it's now 6 pm :(. Opened a new bank account and deposited cheque earlier today.
I think the main problems is that my parents are being too strict on what I can do. To the point of being unreasonable.
That and I took a bit of extra responsibility and should give it to others.
thinking of you ((hidden_motives))
We care - praying you can find enough love to feed yourself. I know that struggle well, procrastinating eating. It becomes a vicious cycle that can hook my other addictions. Sometimes I have to pretend that there is a sweet little child depending on me to take care of her - and then quickly slip myself into the role of that child and feed her, sort of when "I'm" not looking! Fortunately I always feel better after I do eat my sane meals, so it becomes easier to stay on track, even though it's really hard to GET on track.
God loves you and so do we.
(H M)
Get some rest. Things will look and feel differnt in the morning.
*Hugs hidden_motives*
Being overburdened with too much responsibility is overwhelming. Maybe you can share some of it with others? Hope things turn out well for you, hidden :)
