Live in the present. What can I do today?

Dear God its been so busy! So in less than six months I’ve moved twice AND lost about 55 lbs! Those are the biggie items I’ve accomplished while I’ve been gone. I feel behind right now and that I’m not accessible in my life because of my own laziness and disarray. Hopefully working with 43T features an goals over the next few days should improve this issue.

So yup; I’m back! :D

VACUUMED!!!!!!!! AND I DUSTED!!!!!!!!!

Holy hell I never ever EVER do those things! Loath them! But I did ‘em! Woo hoo!!!!!

I have to move soon. How soon? Dunno. Things change daily and I feel like one of those dogs digging into a couch cushion to make it more “homey” even though it’s doing no good. I’m simply unproductive and nervous. I.hate.this.

am so anxious and scared about an upcoming move that should happen int he next week, month, two months? I don’t know… It’s the unknown that I’m petrified of. Productivity today is at a standstill. My current roommate is going through an ugly divorce in which her husband is making her jump through hoops. She’s also my best friend and like family, which makes this more personal than just business. I’m going in circles in my own brain and very much going no where fast.

Here’s an attempt – In green are items that are ready to go, in blue are items I should try to pare down …

• Art stuff in garage
• Books
• Vanity seat stuff
• Books
• CDs
• Junk drawer

• Vanity stuff
• Clothes
• Bags
• Shoes

• Bathroom drawer

• Memorabilia
• Pill stuff
• Mom’s bin of clothes
• Winter clothes
• Linens
• Scarves – white container

• Nail Polish
• Bath stuff
• vinyl records

This is easily 22 boxes! :(

Today I hit the ground running and all I got were NOs left and right. Everything that could go wrong today has gone wrong today. So, I’m done today. I have to go to work, but I will expect nothing more of my day so that I will not be disappointed. Sometimes it’s better just to give up and start over tomorrow….

What I don’t want to do:

10 Min – Go through my trash to find out if I tossed jewelry10 Min – Clear off vanity15 Min – Clean the kitchen20 Min – Dust10 Min – Vacuum
20 Min – Sort through that pill box
20 Min – Clear off desk15 Min – Go through those toiletries under bed20 Min – Buy jewelry cork board from Dollar store or Kmart20 Min – Buy some brussel sprouts for dinner (and maybe some feta)20 Min – Shower & Shave

T = 180 Min = 3 Hours

“The secret to getting ahead is getting ahead”

I’m getting to work now….

Am not through!

I’ve done ooodles of loads of laundry.
I am going to cook dinner.

I’ve thrown out a couple of outdated things, and hung up a few new things.

Found places for photos.

I’m going to organize my jewelry some.

Put a craigslist ad up to sell a router.

Going to try to clear away some old old keep-sake stuff – enough to use the container for more recently touched memorabilia.

Put away more paperwork stuff – still more to do though.

Put away a tooth whitening kit.

My ULTIMATE list to get through right now still includes

1) Clearing those books
2) Fixing bedframe
3) Patching carpet somehow
4) Going through my “junk” drawer
5) Tossing some of that children sentimental stuff

I’m sure there’s more in my list, but that’s all I’m taking time to type up right now.

I’m pretty damn proud of my progress today though!!!! :D

Haven’t left ya, 43T. I’m just on a temporary hiatus.

I worked which sucked a bit of the life out of me. This morning I took a shower, prayed a little (not enough), went to the post office, diligently applied all those facial cream things that I always forget to do, made a file I’ve put off taking care of for the longest time.

That sums it up for me.
