clement - 12 Nov 2012 - 2:17am

this morning is better, but god i pray for restoration.

Night Rexroth

Starting again

elvira - 11 Nov 2012 - 6:07pm

I keep getting derailed by illness and stress ... some days all I can do is sleep and others all I can do is frantic, obssessive displacement activities, like a zoo animal pacing up and down its cage.

Today I don't know if I'm lethargic or tired - do I need to be active or rest?

But it's beautiful weather, so I'm going out for a short walk and I'll see how that goes. If it revives me I'll come back and put together a programme for today. If it exhausts me I'll go back to bed. 

Good! It invigorated me!

Before dark:

Go for longer walk
Get on with raised flower bed

After dark:


Write up and print off amended minutes
Put clothes in the wash.


Put minutes in envelope and address to LG
Take clothes out and hang up. 

IN BED BY 11.00  won't make this, but won't be far off, I don't think

 

 

Well... Let's try this...

FYI, I see that Pro posted a chatbox update

movingalong - 11 Nov 2012 - 12:06am

For those who missed this news update,
and usually only read the "daily check-in thread" here ...
I happened to notice that Pro posted an important update.

Read Pro's NEW thread here:
http://procrastinators-anonymous.org/chatbox_usage
If you have comments, please reply to THAT link so that Pro sees it.

Personally, I'm staying out of the topic.
I mentioning it only for awareness reasons.

It's probably best that we leave this Sunday thread you are reading right now ...
focused on Sunday check-ins.
