Hello all! Things are ok I guess. Unfortunately I do have to make some very important decisions that I am putting off because they are so painful. But I'm just not ready.

To do today-
Fold Clothes
Deal with dishes
Copy PS #8 into notebook
Work on PS #13
Copy PS #13 into notebook
Check out lab for this week
Empty bag of malarkey
Put 15 strewn about items away
Discuss math course
Lab evaluation
Take vitamins/iron
Find checkbook
Fill out form/envelope

Thank you! Hopefully I have more energy today lol.
Edit- can you tell I find copying problem sets extremely odious, even if it's helpful for later studying. . .
Edit- one more thing. . . .!
Edit- Yay! Feels soooo good to see all those crossouts. If only everything else went as swimmingly lol. Goodnight!

11:45 AM: Okay, starting to take care of loose ends that have been flapping in the breeze too long. Worked on organizing finances over the weekend.

Goal 1: 12 noon - 12:30 PM: Get prepared to go out. Already fooled around on computer this morning. Want to be ready to leave apt by 12:30. Need to keep working on this. Much too slow.


12:33 PM: Wow, I am so easily distractible. Trying again, shooting for 1 PM.

Hi All,

Thanks, Lennon, for the start.

((Slowbro)) my thoughts & prayers are with you. Also know of a program called nicotine anonymous. Here's the link , if you're interested: http://www.nicotine-anonymous.org/

In the midst of holidays, Saturday was a fast day. I got so sick afterwards, which never happened before. Still not feeling well today, but I came into work!!! Lots of fears to turn over today. The next holidays will be joyous, but food oriented -eating at other people's homes, so I want to be able to prepare and bring food. This is causing much anxiety. I usually am not able to plan ahead and make this happen. Also, didn't show up at my step meeting last night and am falling behind on step work. So I turn my day and will over to HP and here goes:

Procrastinating:
-mailing back nail clippers
-finding 0% credit card to transfer balance to
-listening to voice mails starting on Friday
-catching up on emails
-mailing out ML package

Tonight:
-work out
-clean bathroom
-step work

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

Hang in there Hope

4change - 20 Sep 2010 - 11:40am

Sounds like you are facing several stressors. Wishing you peace.

Thanks ((4change)), really appreciate your support!!

Quiting smoking is tough. 

Slowbro - 20 Sep 2010 - 9:37am

*return shoes

*paint or draw something

*Continue with exersize 

No set scedual, just need to complete the above.

((((slobro))))

journey - 20 Sep 2010 - 9:56am

Quitting smoking sucks, but the reward of being free from that habit is worth it!  Hang in there!   I quit 7 years ago.

Show up (done), think it through

Hope to "surrender" my will today. My EGO (ease God Out) just does not want to "give it up". I keep wanting to believe I know better than my HP,I can find all the answers, etc. etc. I am worse than my teenage son.

AA BB p 30 "The persistence of this illusion is astonishing."

For today, I will read AA BB, and remember p 13

"I was to test my thinking by the new God-consciousness within. Common sense would thus become uncommon sense. I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me."

Thanks for being here and letting me share what works for me (the only thing that works for me) also more meetings, connections, etc.

Vic 9/20

dreamweaver - 20 Sep 2010 - 6:43am

Thank you Vic!

Your insight has provided the guidance that I need for today.  I had pulled out my BB, and I was somewhat vague as to what I wanted to read.  The thoughts you have shared have directed me to the place that my brain would like to avoid--the beginning.

Also, thank you so much for sharing your comparison to your son.  I had the same thoughts this week in regards to my child as well.

Thank you.  I heard a good quote this morning, love it and so appropriate this Monday:

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.”

Cool quote Vic
