pro's last check-in - 10:20pm
I'm ready for bed now, though still a little hyper. Hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep soon. Maybe I'll watch a little TV. I'm not even going to try to make my bed or wash dishes on workday mornings anymore - no reason to make the bed if I'm not going to be here all day.
To Do:
Rising time: 6am.
Shower.
Dress.
Make and eat breakfast.
Look up something for work and send link to my work email address.
Write letter to cancel my health insurance (I'm insured through my job now).
Call inn to cancel travel plans and make new plans to go there on weekends.
Call to cancel dentist appointment.
Call to cancel another appointment.
Arrange weekend travel (call innkeepers).
Write to person who owes me money.
Wash dishes.
Contacts.
Make bed - convert futon from bed to couch. (Maybe - I haven't been doing this on work days.)
Lay out pills for the day.
Take pills - dose 1 of 3.
Go to work.
Take pills - dose 2 of 3.
Dinner.
Take pills - dose 3 of 3.
Bedtime routine.

I need to get to bed without dawdling (or without dawdling any further) because I have to get up early and get to work early - 8 instead of 9 tomorrow.
Looking at my to-do list, I have some rollover for tomorrow...

Hi all!
Is it cold here Brrrrrrrrrrrrrah! Mollie thanks for the site, good luck. I took a looked at it and it looks like cognative therapy which I like.You may want to look at 'Taking out the trash [forms are similar to kates] and the feeling goodhand book'.
Lark I just got that book maybe you could post to the book thread by chapter and we could go through it together?

Hi HR,
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried cognitive behavior therapy (with 2 different therapists) and have also read much of Feeling Good and tried the exercises. I agree that Byron Katie's work is reminiscent of it, but so far I'm actually finding it far more helpful and significantly different. I googled "Taking Out the Trash" but didn't find anything that looked like what you were referring to. Do you happen to have the URL?
Thanks,
Mollie
Monica's CI 11:10am EST
Looks like I'm officially off track again. The elementary school called. I have to bring my son home. They think he may have pink eye. So(sigh), I will be spending the rest of this morning and most of the afternoon in a clinic waitingroom, waiting to get my son's eyes checked.
If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done.
"I don't feel like it" is a poor sacrifice for your dreams.
please don't get discouraged
I know that when something doesn't go the way you planned it can really affect you. Try not to let it happen. It's just life - things rarely go the way we planned. Part of planning is planning for the unexpected.

Wishing you well Monica
Good to read your posts again and wishing your son well. I remember when my Mum was a teacher and conjunctivitis used to spread through the pupils.
I'm inspired by your sig. line which I recite when I feel it's not worth bothering to do anything.
Kind Regards Rexroth
Hey folks, we have a pun here! Thanks Rex!!
not a nice thing to have, but "conjunctivitis spreading through the pupils" "caught my eye" here. Sorry for the bad humor, but I had to post.
Oh!!
Sorry I really hadn't noticed it. Rexroth
Lark's CI 9:25 am
It's still below 0 degrees(F) here, so I probably won't work in my workshop today. Nothing is scheduled that's urgent. I recently bought a copy of THE PROCRASTINATORS HANDBOOK, and I'm going to read in it this morning.
Done:
basic morning routine
phone calls
filled kitchen sink with water for dishes
TODO:
meditation and reflection
wash dishes
damp mop floors
read book
get cat food and "me" food
All for now. Have a good day everyone.

Just back from the voluntary work and music project and am very tired and quite happy. If this is all I do today it is enough. I feel grateful for having good people to work with and being able to do something useful.
and to think I might not have gone...

I've just sorted out collection arrangements for the craft machines I'm buying. I go on Wednesday. I feel good about myself for doing this. I have found it very difficult to do and its been a major procrastination on my part.
Thanks for being here and for support.
Regards Rexroth
