11 pm Wednesday
Thank you for the starter, Rexroth.
My Wednesday is almost over. Today had a disastrous ending with a blow-up with my husband who I had not seen in a week AFTER our counselling session and BEFORE my 2 hour drive home alone in dark and rain. On top of this feel guilty that it was my fault for things I said in the counselling. Anyway this is not meant to be a pity post, just somewhere where it feels safe to share. Trying hard to trust in HP and NOT be reactive or total doom and gloom (is this an Aussie only saying? sometimes I am not sure if I am using local lingo which doesn't make sense elsewhere).
On the good side, I used the trip to town to meet with my older son, have lunch with him and discuss plans to upgrade my computer (a work essential) which he will carry out for me. We had a productive talk and it was also great to catch up with him.
And a friend has invited me out for dinner tomorrow night.
Thanks everyone for being here.
((findingaway))
It's even harder to be productive when you have all this emotional stuff going on. hope it gets better.
I'm in the US and I have often been accused of being 'Miss Doom and Gloom' because I am - or I used to be - a real worrywart, especially when my kids were little. lol

Your support is really appreciated. Perhaps I need to credit the work my husband and I are doing with the counselling etc as 'productive work' even though it is unpaid and unrelated to paid work or domestic work. For me I am certainly dealing with some issues similar to those underlying procrastination, like self-esteem, fears, feeling ok in the world.
PS We could form a 'Doom and Gloom' club!
(or maybe not!).

Journey 7 am
working from home today, hence the early checkin. Going for a nice walk, then back to make todo list.
Update 9:15 exercised and had healthy breakfast. Totally got busted trespassing on my walk but the guy just waved and drove by. Read email, now todo list and then prepare for 11:00 conference call.
Update 11:05 well, supposed to be meeting (via phone) with boss but he's not answering. I left him a message to call me when he is free. I'm torn between sitting here and waiting for him to call me back while I do . . .nothing . . .or go ahead and take a break and make a nice smoothie. Smoothie wins.
My todo list is made but not prioritized . . .I'll prioritize and start on the rest of the MITs right after smoothie break.
Update noon - had boss meeting and smoothie. 2 of 9 MITs completed. Working on #3 now.
Update 5 pm: Spent the whole afternoon on #3, had some issues. Need to regroup now and see what I can get done in what's left of the day. Oh, I did #4. #5 and #6 really need to be done today. I'll spend 30 minutes on #5 and 30 minutes on #6 and do as much as I can, then call it a work day.
After work, I will make dinner, I did some laundry during breaks so that is done. I have one non-work MIT that I'll do after dinner.
Update 6:30 finished #5 although it took an hour. I have dinner on the stove, and I want to at least touch #6, and #7-8 will have to wait until tomorrow. #9 is non-work. I am making pork chops and brown rice, which always reminds me of my 'courtship' with my husband, because it's the first meal I made for him and his son. One of his friends came by and talked and talked and talked and I finally had to turn it off and and reheat it later. That guys is dead now. (I had nothing to do with it!)
OK, a few minutes on #6, just to get a status and know what my next action will be tomorrow on that project, and then I'm shutting down the work lappie for the day.
