Hi, Chris. Good to see you listing along. I've been doing my lists in my booklet, but do sometimes miss the online accountabilty with you and others. I see you mention HEB. I like those stores. When in San Antonio, I shopped there a few times. That's where I got my much loved 'Dallas Cowboys shopping bag' a couple of years ago.  Oops, just realized I need to take something out of the oven. See you later. |

See you later.  hi Eagle -- I am lost without a list someplace! Most days I make it here to do one. Sometimes I forget to follow up in the afternoon. But normally I get more done if I do make a list!!! Helps so much to focus!!! I love HEB. I'm headed to Vermont in a few weeks to spend time with my family! Take care and happy listing!!! |

Apr. 22, 2012 - Sunday fed cats + scooped litters cleaned up cat messes put meds for MIL on her toes and cushion bandages washed morning dishes  run to pharmacy to get stuff for MIL lunch @ home tuna and tomato soup finish letter spaghetti supper (cook, serve) not sure about this day .... I find myself in the dog house -- DH is mad with me because I am not going to Unity anymore. All the time that I was going he made it holy hell on me by nagging that I did too much and wanted to be there too early (to help with various things). As soon as I gave up everything except helping from home with the website it became mad. We can't talk without arguing. It feels so over yet here we are.
it's all going to be okay |

Hi Chris, it's been a long time since I've posted, so I came back to read what's going on and I see you're posting here now. I guess no one was left to post in Accountability Partners!
Does it work well for you to have your own thread? Maybe that's what I'll do, because I want to get back to making a list here every day.
I see you're going home for a visit, I'm so happy for you, I know you've waited for this for so long!
I'm doing pretty well, I use a list software to make lists but not quite the way I used to in AP. It works for me, but as usual, I go through periods when I lose motivation and get behind. I'm in yet another book purging process, this time with my nonfiction books which have been sitting in boxes forever.
I'm still doing pet care and just squeaking by financially, but as long as the squeaking gets me by I'll keep doing it!
Diane

I'm going to try to have this day improve. My husband and I are having problems -- I can't tolerate much and neither can he. I wish I had not come back here. All my anxiety got triggered by a very bad argument this morning - (I wanted to see my motherinlaw this morning but refuse to stay for 12 hours + he refuses to let me keep the van and run back over for him - a 7 minute drive fearing the transfer may occur today -- it seems petty but following 26 years of control and verbal abuse plus servitude in this family it's not that petty to me) my husband told me that things HAVE to be his way. But I hate confrontation and arguing - all that led me to feel that it's really over. It's no ones fault we just have gotten to the point where there's no agreement and neither of us can tolerate what the other wants.TO DO: feed cats drink water cut some weeds/ mowed the grass front and back and cut weeds along the fence line on one side!!! eat breakfast start laundry morning meditation and prayer - I need to work on seeing things in a better light - remembering that things are unfolding with a purpose and all is well on the spiritual level shower + dress for going to help with the intake at the nursing home pack dads small fathers day gift begin packing my clothing for my move pull out all essential paperwork and documents that I may need and store them in my travel document case |
