Thanks for the starter Rosebud (and yours too lennon).

My schedule has gone out as I took time out to help my mother who has been ill. Glad I helped her but finding it hard to do any work now having arrived home around 3 pm with the intention of getting back into it.

"Routine is the shark cage that lets me swim safely in the real world."  Anonymous

I'm B-a-a-ack!  There are 104 emails in my Inbox. Each one represents time-consuming work. ACK!  God help me. 

My ability to deal with stress has definitely diminished with age. Here's what I observe:

The more work before me, the more stressed I become.
The more stressed I am, the greater my risk of error.  
The greater the risk, the more carefully and deliberately I work.
The more careful and deliberate I am, the slower I work.
The slower I work, the more the work piles up before me.

I have been working the 12 Steps for 31 years and this is as honest as it gets: I MUST learn to accept imperfection, error, and even failure, or this cycle will kill me from stress.  My health suffers, mentally and physically. My spirit suffers: Who can meditate with this much static in the background?

Off I go to chat through the Tools on clearing my Inbox...good to see some old friends' check-ins here (you especially jo - not the "old" part but the friend, lol! :-))

nice to see you Agnus

Late check in but I have been up and at 'em this morning.   I feel great today, which is a good thing because I was getting depressed about feeling so tired and getting ready to call the doctor for a thryroid check lol.   But I just have to remember I am not as young as I used to be and it takes a few days to get over working nights and weekends.   

I went for a run this morning and ran into my 70ish neighbor who was out trimming hedges and mowing lawns at 8 am.   I said 'You're hard at work this morning, Ms. Ballard!' and she replied:  "I just have so much energy, I'm fairly buzzing with it!"  

So that is my wish for you today, that you will be buzzing with energy.  

I have not done my daily planning yet as I had to prepare for a meeting asap this morning.  The meeting is done now so I'll take a break and then plan the rest of the day.

Jo

I had almost forgotten how to use this site. Too busy to think about posting ...

Today I will try to: 

  • Use the Chatbox again.
  • Wash laundry (many loads). 
  • Tidy up work all over the place
  • Paper work, files, follow ups
  • Watch daily TV program
  • Trip out, groceries, enjoyment??
We'll see how it goes ...
 
Evening: Could have done better, especially with paperwork. Soon bedtime now.
