Get up and do something!

Things I need to do today:

• order contacts – done, with great success! (Saved $130 AND they gave me 3 bottles of contact solution!)
• hang two paintings – done
• pay some bills – done
• clear my desk
• laundry
• change sheets
• make some cds
• get rid of a chair – done
• make a corn souffle – on pause, since we’re missing some ingredients
• get rid of lots of stuff

I’m right in the middle of a glorious four-day weekend, and quite frankly I’ve not done much. Wednesday and Friday had TKD, Thursday a visit with my Grandma…and that’s just about all.

I’m extremely good at laying down and reading until I fall asleep, at all hours of the day, or getting sucked into watching shows like The Office online, or shuffling things around but not actually putting them away or doing anything with them. I’m also good at donning lounge clothes and being lazy.

So today I finally rolled out of bed and made myself go to the grocery store and the bookstore. Typically I enjoy these pursuits; I’d just been putting them off. I grabbed a pumpkin spice latte on the way home and have been diligently working ever since. And I watched The Mothman Prophecies, which is nice and creepy for Halloween. :)

Onward!

like Macy Gray:

“do something…..... how will you make it if you never even try”

now:
HOW WILL YOU MAKE IT IF YOU NEVER EVEN TRY ??

IM SERIOUS…

You’re wasting your life. Stop wasting life.

Everything one step at a time. Stand up. Organise your desk. Organise your room. Clean the kitchen. Go outside Gasp!

I’ll start with those for now.

Last fall, because of this website and the great people here, I was introduced to FlyLady. Fly-what-y? Huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

Then I found the link to her website on someone’s list (by the way, her website can be found at www.flylady.com ) So I checked it out and started fluttering around. I was successful for a little while, but then began to get discouraged for a few reasons. (I did manage to keep my sink shiny, though! And baby steps helped me get our house ready for Thanksgiving:)

At New Years, I decided that I was really going to get serious about this Flying business. And I am so happy to say that so far I have been successful! Already our kitchen, livingroom, dining room, and entryway are looking sooo much better, and our bedroom is coming along nicely as well! This time, I was determined to make my control journal (including the dreaded ‘inspirational quotes’ page, lol) so now I have that tool to help me, too. It works better than I gave it credit for the last time! And it’s helping me to stay on track with my medicine, which is soooo nice:) Now I know if I’ve taken it or not! What a relief! It’s also helping me stay on track with my stretching and exercise, and I’m getting finished with my morning routines a lot quicker than before!

Today is day 13 for me. My mission is to clean out the downstairs freezer (something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now.) It’s also laundry day…so I’m going to try to keep up the habit of dealing with it as soon as it’s finished and not letting it hang around in the dryer! Oh, and also thanks to FlyLady’s website and another nice person on 43things I have dinner/menu planning under control! I’m feeling so great about what I’m accomplishing, and I know that I can do it! No more feeling overwhelmed without a plan. Yippee!!!!!

Everythings done today except for cleaning out the refrigerator!

I actually did all of my ‘to do’s’ today before I let myself get distracted online! Yippee!!!

Today I need to:

Wash the dishes
Clean out the hall closet (for at least 15 minutes)
Bring the clothes upstairs and do the ironing
Find out what my FlyLady mission for the day is and do it!
And don’t forget to take time to exercise/do my push-ups!!!

Today I need to:

1)wash the comforter
2)scrub out the tub
3)get the stuff that doesn’t belong in the living room out of the living room
4)dust the living room
5)go eat some breakfast
6)make sure and start dinner in plenty of time
7)figure out what to take to V’s tomorrow for dinner
8)remember what the last thing I wanted to put on this list was… ... ???.
9)oh yeah, answer some emails
