Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.

Journey 1 pm
Took the morning off since I was still very tired from the weekend work. I usually recover from the overnighters in a day or two, but I was just exhausted this week. I slept in and relaxed this morning, then exercised and took a bath and I feel better now. I technically have the day off, but I''m going to work a few hours this afternoon since I have so much to do.

Difficult day yesterday
Had a hard time yesterday. Feeling very distracted by family worries, also fatigued and bored. Very concerned that soon-to-be-ex may renege on agreement to bring children to see me this summer. Starting to obsess over it. Needless to say, I have some serious trust issues with her at this point, and a comment one of my children made on the phone gave me a sense that maybe their mom isn't really planning to bring them here despite saying she would. Don't know for sure, but I don't have much recourse unless I want to involve my lawyer. The summer "window" will close before I am likely to get anywhere trying to enforce the parenting agreement. Like I said, I am obsessing. Sometimes being alone with my thoughts isn't the best thing.
Anyway, enough of that. Focusing on my procrastination behaviors, I wasn't able to meet any of my objectives yesterday or overnite.
Eliminate unnecessary internet at work: No
Time tracking: No
Email 4x work/2x personal (@ work): No (>4)/ No (>>2)
Work 12 hours max: No (14)
Daily personal time: Yes, but spent it online after midnight, listening to music; made me feel a little better, but ruined any chance of getting good sleep and getting up early in a functional state
Sleep 8 hours min: No (5 hours)
Early to rise: No (7:10 AM)
Early to work: No (8:45 AM)
Early putting plan into action: No (haven't gotten started yet)
As much as I crave novelty and distraction from my worries and the tasks at hand, I realize that hewing to the disciplined approach will yield the best results. Will try to start again now, same plan, same objectives.
Back to report.
Scribbler's Torrid Tuesday CI 7:51 a.m.
Nice flower, Rosebud. Some sort of violet?
I escaped being selected to sit on a jury yesterday, so that was good. Still no money coming in, although bills of course continue to find me without difficulty. The situation is getting critical. I continue to work and send out invoices, conserve money whenever possible and agitate to get paid by my debtors. I'm not sure what else to do. Oh, well. Griping about it won't help much, That's for sure. So...

While Yoffee was eating, she turned her head to the side, starting shaking and lightly crying. I had just given her meds, I didn't know what to do, except panic, as usual. She went under the table and it passed. Think I will call her emergency room Dr. I hate myself.

Rosebud, Tuesday, July 12
I am not in the mood for making a list today. Not yet anyway. Yesterday was a difficult day, and I do not know what to do to make today better.
Take it as it comes? Take it easy? Be easy on myself and others? Find something entirely useless - but enjoyable to do?
But then - enjoyment is never "useless"!! I may come back and post as the day proceeds. Or I may not ...
Rosebud, Tuesday, July 12 - Evening
I took a drive with DS, went to a few stores and bought a few items. After we got home, we had dinner and then watched a DVD film.
I feel better now. And I want to say thank you for all supporting remarks. They have meant a lot to me. You are such a wonderful group of people.
Love, Rosebud
