"But good news: I didn't go to work for today's optional workday because boss said we were to work on online training - which I finished last week." Well, that paid off nicely, missjean!

I started the day with a lot of optimism, but of course I have been doing the easier stuff that doesn't require decision-making or much interaction with people. I will start my day tomorrow with leftovers and then do my best to not add too much to it.

Wrote description of book club book; sent to person who writes the minutes. (Slow writer, took forever.) Cleared sofa. Decided to do tomorrow differently, with a short list of leftovers to start, and no avoiding the harder stuff.

Good afternoon, guys and dolls! goldenthreads you are on fire again today! Irish Rose, I hope you enjoy your camping trip. I never seem to do the reading I take with me; you're not lugging books - smart! TA-DAH Lots of "anti-ta-dahs" this morning, including missing the recycling truck and the drop-off window at the charity. However.... 1. Picked up all fallen branches, broke them down, and got them to the curb 2. Threw out three maybe-I-could-use-these-in-the-future fileboxes held together with lots of tape 3. Tossed stained clothes I wore yesterday TO DO 1. Pick up mail 2. Mow lawn 3. Take box of work stuff into work and prepare lessons/materials for next week. I have a list of twenty things to do!

Worked on bedroom project for 10 minutes. Dusted the desk hutch. I must really hate dusting; it took two minutes. Made doctor appointment.
Send transportation info to friend. Figure out which department should get my clarifying phone call; write down questions and script. Something something somethings.... the two above outrank anything else I could think of.
missjean, good job on the yard work. I thought you were perhaps confused when you said I was on fire. A few dying embers, maybe. So tired. Anyway, I decided to act as if fire was happening, so thanks for that. "Tossed stained clothes I wore yesterday." One of my great simple pleasures is doing exactly that. It feels as if I've won a prize and vanquished the enemy. Ha-ha, I don't have to wash you first!

Morning All It looks to me like you are on fire too goldenthreads - just let us pat you on the back, criticism, self or otherwise is just not useful. Thanks, razy. You're right. Thank you for the kind lecture. I think it's a little like leaving the exam room, and you remember the answers you weren't sure of, and the ones you realize you got wrong. Then you get the test back and you got 93%. In this case, I'm dealing with bureaucratic stuff that I am avoiding but must be done. So I kick myself for avoiding it, and it's always there. Then I get down on myself for knowing my priorities, and still continuing avoidance. And I'm embarrassed in the anticipation of judgment. I'm probably still rating an 80% in life right now, and that's far better than when I first joined SOS. I just wish I didn't care. I want a drug with no side effects or addiction, or a magical spell to make me deal with this stuff in a confident, happy-go-lucky way. Best wishes on planning and making use of your day. Those days with no one else around are great.
