Bookending

I have been procrastinating on the internet :(.  I am really resisting getting to work.  Fear is gnawing at me.  I didn't do anything much while my dad was here visiting and now I'm tired from that and just . . .arg!  Inertia sets in so fast.  The negative inertia of NOT working.  But now is a new hour, so.

Done:
got up
ate breakfast
prayer
meditation
checked on money

To do:
30 minutes of reading related to dissertation topic

Be back to check in.  Thank you all for being here.

Checking in

I hate admitting this, even on an anonymous forum, but I have done nothing since I last posted except sit and cut split ends out of my hair.  :(

I am going to "start over" by getting out of the house and eating lunch.

bbl.

Best,
N

Hi Nan

That's what bookends are for... You are doing the right thing by starting from where you are. 

Food will definitely help.
(and I can't help but point out that you are just fresh from hosting a parent's visit.... Give yourself a bit of slack, because sometimes you have to just "regroup"! :smile: )

Rexroth 12.41 BST

Getting on fine after panic attack when I started on the court papers. They were very very simple to do and as soon as I started I felt OK about them. I need to photocopy them and post them tomorrow. Today is a holiday in the UK. There are also other useful things I can do about the case which might make it easier for when I come back but I have at least done what is necessary today. I've also lost or mislaid quite a few things, none on which I need for my trip but I do feel uneasy about it.

movingalong's end-of-Monday report

Well, I've been gone all day and most of evening.  Just checking in and looking at my list.

Well, did most of the things on my list today.   But I didn't smile.  I was very grouchy.  I think I was procrastinating smiling .... thinking I would smile after I got XYZ task done.      Why didn't I try smiling while I was doing ithe task?

your smile came over here

That was funny.

Okay, i'll send it back to you and you can smile at will on Tuesday
