Today is going to need to be a slow and steady kind of day, or I will freak out. I kept putting off paying a credit card bill, plus I forgot to submit a new charge for reimbursement, and now the total charge is due, and I don't have it.
So. Deliberate actions, from here on out today.

My effort at not freaking out over the mistake that I made didn't work too well. I wound up taking an hour and a half nap after lunch. At least I finally took my shower after that. And just renewed a book. Things that needed doing, but not things that are addressing the problem. I'm really struggling to be productive instead of putting all my energy into feeling bad and beating myself up. The mistake was that I missed an important deadline, totally due to procrastination and just not dealing with something I needed to deal with because I felt anxious about it and wasn't sure how to handle it. I didn't even check to see when the deadline was, until today, when I discovered I'm about 6 weeks past it. It's the first time I've messed something like this up. I have to figure out my next step, but what I want to do it just run away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REXROTH!
I have yet to know more about you, but I'm still going to give my fellow PA-er a cheer for his birthday, especially when he's great at keeping up with his check-ins and outs on a daily basis.
Hmmmm, I would have posted a picture of a cake here, but do you like pastries, cakes, or ice-creams?

happy birthday
I hope today goes well with you. Do something nice for yourself, and share it with someone else! Someone told me that years ago, and it makes each birthday memorable. Take care friend.
Happy Birthday!
Hope you have a fun and wonderful day.
Happy Birthday, Rexroth!
Rexroth,
I really appreciate your steady presence here. I wish you a wonderful 63rd birthday. Enjoy the museum!

EDIT Friday 27 April 0:20 am
I did everything on the list. Yet I did procrastinate. I came home 6 pm. I went to the computer and online for an hour. Then I slept for two hours. I really did not want to do anything. I finaly started homework after 9 pm but I managed everything on my list before midnight. I did not do things perfect. I would not have time for that.
