Prepare yourself, friends. I'm at it again with organizing my life. I'm also rushing, so this will be a snippet with hope of writing a more in-depth post when I have more time.

The Problem With a Brain Like Mine…
I just lost it on the poor woman who answered the phone at our local library. I'm not proud. And truthfully, I didn't exactly lose it, but as someone who loathes confrontation and prefers every interaction to be the harmonious variety, it felt that way. I received a freaking collections letter FROM THE LIBRARY in … Continue reading The Problem With a Brain Like Mine…
Balancing Mama-Care With Other-Care — Part 2, Time Management
Yesterday I talked about the importance of taking care of my basic needs along with the challenges I'm currently facing. That means different things for different people. One personal need that I've identified is better time-management and organization. Gil does not get this at all. When I discuss it with him, he tells me I need … Continue reading Balancing Mama-Care With Other-Care — Part 2, Time Management

Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
I have felt this overzealous need to reduce the amount of stuff in my life for a long time. Maybe forever. I've just never needed a lot of material possessions to be happy. In fact, less for me has always meant more in terms of feeling peaceful and content. But then, I've never been all … Continue reading Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
Snippets From Last Week Along With a Better Plan for This One
I don't want to write about last week -- schedules, lists, progress, because I'm not feeling that great about it. But I think it's important for my own accountability, as well as to acknowledge that parts of it actually did go well -- especially considering how busy we were with Halloween festivities. Summary of last … Continue reading Snippets From Last Week Along With a Better Plan for This One
Tomorrow’s Plan
I wrote down my tentative plan and list since I learned last week that if I can't see it, I'll do whatever I feel like in the moment. Lots of gaps, but it's something. At least it's on paper -- and now here. Thank you, readers, for serving as my life coach. I'm sleepy. But … Continue reading Tomorrow’s Plan
Still Plugging Away . . .
I've wanted to post an update, but I've been doing my best to stay focused on my work the past two days. I'll try to sum up the highpoints. The Good: -- I've gotten up every day this week at 5:30 and exercised. This is huge for me -- not so much the exercising but … Continue reading Still Plugging Away . . .
Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
My previous post touched on the why. Now I'm going to set my schedule and fill in accordingly. Again, working my stuff out on this blog. The biggie here is that I've reached a point where I do not want to get out of bed in the morning. I think it's a bad case of … Continue reading Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
Revamping My Schedule
Prepare yourself, friends. Here comes another I gotta get my life together post. I need accountability and since I have none of that in my real life, I'm using this blog.
