One more day

No power at work = I stay home one more day.  Now mind you, I did try to get some work done once IT got the systems up and running again; unfortunately 45 minutes later I had connection issues. 

I believe someone was telling me, "Hey why are you working? Take advantage of this time a relax"

So I spent my day catching up on blogs, emails and playing games on Face book.  

For dinner I made spaghetti with sweet Italian turkey sausage.  Instead of frying the sausage, I baked it.  It was much better and the seasonings in the sausage were more pronounced.  The added bonus - no greasy mess to clean up after!   I cooked it at 350 for 40 minutes and I think next time I'll increase the temp just a touch.

That's about it for now. 

Knock off the debt

I have tried for a while now to motivate myself into reducing my debt. "It hasn't happen yet but we're all really excited about it!" (Friends episode quote)

I feel I need to put it out there; to make it real. Bills come in, I pay them and don't really look at the larger picture. Never added the total amount owed, just the minimum amount due and the due date - I pay it and move on.

Well, I added and I stared and stared... O_O

Got to fix this!

Today's Horoscope..

It's not easy for you to be around others who lose their composure over unimportant things. But even if you feel like you're the one on an emotional rollercoaster, you probably have enough common sense to wait for a better moment to express yourself. When the moody Moon leaves your sign this afternoon, it may finally be time to say what's on your mind.

Sum's up my life these past couple of years. I don't think I will ever have the courage though to say what is on my mind. If I did - my world would change. And not in a good way.

A productive day

I had a productive day at work, which makes me happy. I felt like I accomplished something! When leaving for the day I think to myself, "what did you do today?" or "I didn't get done what I wanted to do" I know, I know - who does? But come on, really? I know if I could stay on task I would get more done. Hard to do when there are several voices in your head trying to talk a the same time.
Anyway - if I can tackle the clutter at work, (my daily tasks), I can tackle it at home.

Read just about anyone's blog that lives on the East Coast and there is going to be some reference to the heat we have had. I use to love the heat but with the onset of hot flashes, not so much. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am not taking Gabapentin anymore. Although it was for Anxiety it also helps with hot flashes. Since going off, they have gotten worse. I see my Dr in two weeks and I am going to ask her about it.

A new start...

Clutter and procrastination are my biggest and potentially curable of my challenges. The other issues, I need to learn to live with. Depression and Bipolar - stay on the meds and keep my appointments.

I am putting it out there, not that I have an audience, today is a New Start and I will win.

I have been following FlyLady for a while and trying to do as she suggests.  There has been some progress but I have a long way to go.  Many years of clutter will not disappear over night; I just have to convince myself.
