lIFE IS MORE FUN IN PA!!
Doing this right?
Well, to my surprise, I joined this site a few years back. Website's memory long; Arden's, short.
I am too mentally beat to do a full introduction here, but I do want to say hello and applaud you all for being here and doing what you need to do to climb out of Itcanwaitville. I, myself, have lived here way too long and am afraid that I'll die here without really having lived.
It's 6:30 p.m. now, so pretty late. Not too late to squeeze a little something out of the day, though. So, I intend to:
1) Practice yoga
2) read 100 pp. of H. Lee's endless Virginia Woolf biography
3) finish rereading that PMLA article
4) make notes on said article
5) meditate
6) take vitamins
7) complete evening toilet--neti pot, brush, floss, face scrub. The whole shebang
Let's see how this goes...
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. ~~Samuel Beckett

Glad to have you here. Just showing up is the first step...then just keep taking small steps. We'll be with you.
wb arden!!

What a great thought for the day, Putmynikeson - thanks! I also am grateful for the chance to rat myself out here and start over - I accomplished shockingly little yesterday of my MITs and other to-do's, just barely hung on until my massage yesterday dropped my pain levels back to manageable. Plus a great meeting last night on the Alanon topic, "Let it begin with me." So it's a new day! And my PA recovery today is focused on "Let Me Begin!" :-)

well, yesterday wasn't exactly productive, i spent most of the day reading. today is going a little bit better. i wanted to check in to keep things going and remember that procrastination is a behaviour/ habit that i've built up over years. it's going to take me a long time to actively replace it by more positive habits. i'm determined to work on this.
list consists pretty much of those things i ignored yesterday.

Still on vacation, although I want to work about an hour or so today. Today is my husband's birthday, and we're having a few people over for dinner, so that's my highest priority! If I have time, I'll work on my organizing projects. Tomorrow I'm taking my daughter and her friend to the Aquarium.

BTW I found a procrastination podcast! I don't know if it's good yet, but I'll listen to it and let you know. http://iprocrastinate.libsyn.com/
When I get my mp3 player loaded up, I'll dial into work and work for one hour only..
UPDATE noon - arrggh we had some network problems that took over an hour to resolve . . . I'm stressing over the party tonight and flitting around from one thing to another and not gettting anything completed. Deep breath. Relax. Make the cake! That will be fun and I will feel like I'm making progress too.
Update 2 pm - the cake is cooling. Now I'm going to put the last load of laundry in the dryer, load the dishwasher, and straighten, dust and vacuum the living room.
UPDATE 4 pm. The house is clean! or close enough to what passes for clean around here. I didn't clean my bathroom but I wiped off the faucet with a kleenex in case anyone has to use it lol. Now to frost the cake and start cooking!
UPDATE 4:30 cake is decorated, beans are in, now for melon balls and potatoes

BUSLAW Lec - read up on lecture 7, stream.
