Ok, so I kind of made a list last night and making the list made me think that now that it was written down I didn't have to do it. That is not true! lol.

Things to do today.
If I can get 90% of these things done, (and 100% MITs) I will earn myself a special treat!

School
-Finish 262 hw
-attempt 287 hw #9
-download music

Other things
-remove one chunk of crap from car
-exercise
-10 minutes bass practicing
-10 minutes organization

Other things of note
-emailed classmates
-registered for the one class
-emailed professor

Abstinence from unplanned time.

• The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
• The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.

Abstinence from relying on self. AA Big Book says to rely on God. Quoted in my bookmarks : scroll down to "AA Big Book on fears : relying on God not self-reliance:"

1:19pm : "For this light and momentary affliction [tho it seems huge to me] is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

went off track 3 times. 2 to avoid. Once persuing some topic which should have been left for another day.
and i could not have gotten so overwhelmed.

THINGS I AM GREATEFUL FOR (everything i "did well" comes from god, either thru gifts he's given me or the way he's transformed me)

Got brought me back from great distress with that bible verse above.
firefox inspect element.
jsfiddle
cygwin
I felt overwhelmed most of the day, and very frustrated at times, but i managed to keep working thru it. The recovery training god is doing in me paid dividends today.
