Don’t slow down, you’re gonna crash…
It is hard to convince myself that this whole process of lightening up is going to take time. I want it to be done, now. I want to be caught up and cleaned out and on top of things.
That’s only half true, actually. David has all kinds of ideas for speeding up this process — most of them involve wholesale destruction, sometimes involving bonfires — and I am not too keen on any of them. My problem is the same as it always is: I want things done a certain way, and done well, but then I get overwhelmed by it all and convinced that I will never dig my way out. This unleashes a raft of coping behaviors, many of which involve carbohydrates and old-fashioned authors and, if the stars align perfectly so that this all crashes on a weekend or holiday, my bed.
I can’t complain, though, this week. Since being Pattiized, I have accomplished a great deal. I’m knocking the to-do’s down one by one.
- {Procrastination} released: Called around and found out the dates that all the appointments that I should have written down on my calendar are scheduled, and added them to the calendar. Added many things to my Master Task List. Returned books (should have done a week ago). Turned in Girl Scout check (should have done a month ago). Called two good friends (way overdue). Oh, darn it! I was supposed to call Whitney back after work! OK, that’s plus six and minus one for Lori.
miss fidgety 
You can always call me back tonight!!
