ok time to not procrastinate going to bed. There's a "death" in it for me. The part of me that wants to resist bedtime kind of has to be ignored. It feels a little like violence to myself. But i know it's to my lower self, and that "in my inner being i delight in god's law" ie doing the smart, right, healthy thing.

Thanks for being here!

Finding a way CI

Monday 9.30 am

Hello again! Was in town for a few days last week helping out with my mother and visiting her in hospital - she is getting better now. Then came back straight into running a birthday party for my husband, having guests and catching up on the home front etc. It has been a busy few days - too busy to post most of the time - although by yesterday I was starting to catch up a bit. Interesting to notice how it is often easier for me to do things for others (even if I'm moaning a bit to myself) than for myself or my paid work.

So back to regular work today - need to organise my lists and get back into project K.

Wishing everyone a great start to the new week!

Show up (done)

Frustration to the max since yesterday, including cell phone shut down for???My Android has a life of its own and makes unintended calls, and they said I am making too many calls, but I have unlimited calling, text, web?? asked for supervisor, was rejected.... I am livid. yesterday ran out of gas,THEN A  deal where I spent 3 days of paperwork on fell through and they "forgot" to tell me....

 However, I am still showing up and that is a miracle. Plus I did not do anything I need to make an amend for, did not pick up, did volunteer job, drove son to work, now picking him up, so, the truth is... if nothing else gets better,  my life is still a miracle, even I CAN SEE THAT. THANKS PA FOR A PLACE TO SHOW UP., EVEN IF ONLY TO SHARE FRUSTRATION. tHE DAY IS NOT OVER, MAYBE SOMETHING WILL CHANGE.
