Today was a breakthrough day for me. I decided if I was ever going to get out of this little slump, I’d have to kick myself out of bed, make lists of things I needed to get done, and then cross those things off of the list one by one. Sometimes this is the only way I can motivate myself to move forward, and to stop sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
I started out slowly. And everything on my list was work related, but included some tasks I’ve been putting off for months, and that were really important. For example: I work from home. I incur expenses from working at home. I haven’t submitted an expense report since October!! So, I made a big pot of coffee this morning, and waded through the pile on my desk.
I think I had 7 things on my list today, and I crossed every single one off the list before closing time.
Baby steps. Baby steps.
I have been obsessively surfing the web looking at dogs that are up for adoption, and I think I’ve lost my cotton pickin’ mind. I’ve written to people all over the country, and even found myself surfing tea cup chihuahua sites. I think I need help. Serious help. If I don’t hear the jingle of a dog collar plinking around the house pretty soon, I may wind up adopting a pot bellied pig or a half miniature weiner dog half guinea pig. I’m out of control. The Internet is the world’s largest pet pound, and they’re all just so. damn. adorable!
