    SlayneB coming up on 15 years of sobriety!

    Another advance 1 week ago

    I’ve deleted most of my yahoo groups and will probably delete the entire account soon, once I clear up a couple of things. This will also rid me of Yahoo Answers, something I was into once. Apparently I have to delete the entire thing to get rid of a part of it.

    This is all moving towards clearing out the old by the new year (in my mind) which begins at Yule.



    SlayneB coming up on 15 years of sobriety!

    I realized a big part of achieving this goal 1 week ago

    is that I’ve resisted the pressure to join either Facebook and MySpace. And that is such a relief, as I honestly don’t want people to know that much about me, I am not interested in the trivialities of others lives (no offense to anyone, I’m sure nobody is interested in mine either). Such a time-waster.

    And I realize that I have saved myself embarrassment from friendships that have ended, and the awkwardness that would have happened there when the deletion (or whatever) is done.

    So anyway, when people ask, I just say ‘No.’ And mean it.

    My laptop was in the shop for a week. 1 month ago

    I found it really fascinating! I missed it like crazy; I use my computer to find phone numbers, locate recipes, stay in touch with friends, give me all my news, do my banking, and so many other things. But, I found myself waaay more productive in many areas without my laptop to procrastinate with. Something to keep in mind…

    43T is great and all but I find myself obsessively rechecking to see if I’ve got any comments or cheers yet or if there are any new entries on the quit/stop drinking sites

    I've been having a problem with this lately 21 months ago

    I get obsessive about things and Right now I’m obsessing on real estate. For the last few days I keep checking 1 of 3 websites checking listings and Cross referencing them to maps ad nauseam. Then I come here and have had abnoramlly high cheer amounts to use the last few days and cant stop until I use them all. Unfortunately, as I’m trying to use them all I invariably get more. Ha. I know its silly. haha. I’m laughing to myself as I write this because I know its ridiculous. The fact that I’m writing about this… on the computer… which I want to set away from gives me even more moment to pause and roll my eyes at myself. :D All that being said. I am going to make an concerned effort today and through the next week to make a list of things I need to accomplish on the housing front so that I don’t stare at listing all day for no reason other then to make myself crazy. I need to get my credit reports pulled. I need to talk to my credit union, accountant etc etc. Then I can look at listings AFTER I talk to a real estate agent. I’m going to try and keep my computer time work related for a time, aside from my 20 mins or so here to keep things productive. Recently I’m doing nothing but wasting daylight and it makes me feel awful at the end of the day.
