Walker Check Out Sunday April 1, 2012
Well, I accomplished one goal (ie, wrote and delivered rent checks for B and me - major, as I have a phobia of writing checks), which is better than no goals, like yesterday.
I visited B after work in the assisted living place; ate my dinner there (leftover lunch) and cleaned up, just now got home and feel "too tired" to open that stack of mail. No block of time is big enough or small enough or just right enough to do it. I have to accept that I will never feel like doing it and do it anyways.
I'll do two or more goals tomorrow.
Going to bed by 9:30 tonight. (Hey, that's another goal! Beats 10 or 11 pm, like usual, then up at 4. I felt so rested and together and happy today. I'll keep this up.) YAY WALKER!!! (hugs, back pats, smooches) I didn't hide my lack of success from myself or you. That's progress again.
It IS so tempting to quit. But I'm just at the start of my recovery. This is to be expected.
Night, all.

Great Pace!
0 goals yesterday, 1 goal today--you're on pace to be checking off 268 goals a day by Christmas! :) Great start. Have fun with your two goals tomorrow!

A new month!!!
Thanks Lennon for the starter, Happy April Fool's Day to you too!!!
I want to start the month positively with a check-in and a list that I actually follow through on...
print off forms, fill them in, post themconfirm flightstrainswill be stopping at my local station at 4am...do laundrygo to yogago for walk with friends (and dogs)I'm actually feeling a little bit nervous about the flights, the holiday, the animals I'm leaving behind... no meetings!! Online ones? I'm going to Corfu in Greece, maybe there's an AA meeting... must check... Anyway. I definitely need and deserve a holiday so fingers crossed (and faith in my HP) that all will be well...
call that following through??
Ok, I didn't stick to my list, I don't know why, guess I just like spreading things out and leaving myself the narrowest possible margins. Not the best idea when you're having to catch a flight. But tomorrow (today, Monday) I have the whole day more or less to declutter, pack and get my act together.
I just wish I had more time to spend on this site, I haven't been in the chatbox in ages now for lack of time :( and I miss the camaraderie!!!! The hotel should have wifi though so maybe I'll be able to catch up while I'm away...
