Almost there...

So the ups or downs first? Lets good the bad ju-ju out of the way first and leave room for the good ju-ju. So after all my hemming and hawing last night about getting out of my nice warm bed to lay out my clothes for the next day, guess what I did.... or maybe I should say what I didn't do... Yep that's right folks I didn't drag my lazy butt out of bed and set out my clothes. I finished typing out my blog, shut the computer and promptly went to sleep. Woo hoo for keeping to those routines! So tonight before I even sat down to contemplate what I would write, I set out my clothes and rinsed out my sink. Progress...ish!

On the good ju-ju side of the universe, I did my homework ( I feel like there should be a test or something.) Luckily the next chapter of the book didn't actually ask me to do anything since I couldn't have accomplished it anyways. It did talk about getting rid of our perfectionism. Apparently we all have it (now imagine one of those old Uncle Sam posters with the works THAT MEANS YOU underneath it) and it is BAD. We have to cast off the fear of starting a cleaning job that we can't finish and the OCD-ness that binds us and move on to CHAOS free bliss! I feel like I should possibly be standing on a soap box...... Anywho, this one actually makes sense to me. I tend to get so overwhelmed that I have actual panic attacks about cleaning and then figure that since I can't get everything clean at the same time I'm just not going to clean at all (faulty logic or what?) So apparently I am to huck these thoughts out the window and go for small baby steps on the road to redemption (or cleanliness, whichever one comes first.)

So for tomorrow, since I will actually have a few hours at home (before 10:00 pm that is) I am assigning myself the reading of the next chapter and the fulfillment of at least part of it, whatever IT may be.

P.S. My beautiful clutter free dining table has accumulated MORE crap by some "mysterious" means....

P.P.S I thoroughly enjoy making up my own words and adding "ness" and "ish" to words. It really pisses off the spell check!
