Slow start today: had a meeting first thing but I've stalled since then. I need to type up my notes from that meeting and I've got some little fires that really need putting out before they set my butt aflame! I'm frustrated on one project - we're so close to making it work, but I just don't think it's going to happen this time, and that disappoints me. So I'm resentful and don't want to do anything.
Need to take a good look at what is actually under my control - a lot of this really isn't. The stuff that isn't? Need to let it go.
Priority: Call SL. Next check-in - 11:15 am.

8:45am CI for Lark
I feel lazy today. There. Now that I've said it, I feel a sort of releif, and feel better! Generally speaking, if anyone sees I'm here, there's a good chance I can spare a few minutes for a mini-meeting in the chatbox. Perhaps we can start meetings that way.
Today:
morning routine
order supplies
call Dave
double check work project
start next project
clean out car
normal house cleaning swoop
normal workshop cleaning swoop
make a start on next work project
check in here
lazy day...
Me, too! It's rainy out, which makes me sleepy, and and I'm experiencing some serious demand resistance. I've had a really busy week so far and now I'm just balking and goofing on the web, reading blogs.

last day
I have been having anxiety attacks about the things I have not completed. Much of what has not been completed has caught up with me. Because I work on the academic year and my contract is annual I am concerned that I will not be rehired next year. So, for today....
made bed
took shower
dressed and bijoued
excercise
breakfast
sort and file
straighten desk tops
lable what is complete
finish letter
compile recommendations
taxes
practicum
shop for sheets
plan menu and schedule for guests
check on upper office
and do it one task at a time....
I "feel your pain"...
It's still amazing to me how many people are out there experiencing the SAME things that I am - anxiety attacks, worry about being "found out" or "coming up short" at work, feeling overwhelmed to the point of distraction or downright depression. And then there are the people who seem to be on top of most things, who don't have this debilitating behavior pattern. I don't get it. =/ Anyway, you are certainly NOT alone!
thank you
Gmarie,
I signed on in the middle of an attack over the overwhelming work that will not be completed - and more, the work that WAS completed, is impossible to see. I find myself resorting to self-soothing behaviors: playing spider solitaire on the computer until I calm down, eating unnecessarily, having other conversations - in short, doing anything to avoid the FEELINGS!
it was so helpful to see a response to my writing.
It's nice to know that we're not alone!
I do ALL of the same things, except I look at YouTube videos or research global warming instead of doing my work to avoid those anxious feelings. I am trying many of the ideas I've read about on this site, and although I'm still struggling, it HAS gotten a little better. (I quit binging on Hershey bars, Skittles and Hot Tamales, for one thing! =/)
meetings
gmarie, have you ever been to a face to face meeting within this program
