Rexroth Check In 10.30

Rexroth - 8 Dec 2012 - 4:51pm

Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Checked emails and posts
Started work on book and stopped as it is the weekend amd I need to be doing something different

Todo:
x Take it easy as my priority is to go out to a concert this evening where a friend of mine is singing.
x Bath and wash hair
x Check ticket time and transport
x Make a todo list for next week

I didn't feel too well and went to the concert where there was no heating and left at the interval when I felt unwell yet again. I am now home safely in bed.
Phoned friend to explain why I had left early.

Also earlier dealt with mail and reposted incorrectly delivered mail, some emailing, and some CBT work on going out this evening (I am not comfortable going out to concerts and similar things)

Todo:
Write journal
Prayer and reflection
Give thanks that I have a warm secure place to be and that I am getting better - maybe it was unwise to go out after fainting yesterday but I did want to hear my friend sing.
Bed and sleep

clement - 8 Dec 2012 - 7:58am

plan for tmrw:

:) quiet time
slides rehearsal

7:55am : it's been 5 min since i last went off plan. Only for a few min. I've been mostly on plan this morning with a couple short exceptions.

"For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord. And if we die, we die to the Lord. So then whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." - Romans 14:7-8

This verse confirms the Step 3 and Step 12 for me.

Now it's time to do the next step on my list.
