Re: The High-Five Corner

[quizzical]

High five Sherri! Embrace your embarrassments! (That’s a tongue-twister for sure!)

I haven’t been here in a while; seems like the honeymoon period is over; I’m still getting things done, but not nearly as much or as completely; the old bad habits are gaining a toehold once again.

For instance, I’d love to crow about my bedroom dresser top, all dusted and decluttered, but there’s a big box of What Used to Be There that still needs to be dealt with….

My weekly household chore system is just barely on track; I’m cutting a lot of corners and falling back into doing lots on one day and nothing the next because I’m too tired….

And somewhere along the line I stopped checking my new dry-erase kitchen calendar, and ended up calling the orthodontist to say we wouldn’t be in, since the appointment was due to begin in 5 minutes….

So I need a high-five more than ever. So I’m celebrating the following:

1) I still do my weekly chores on at least three of the five weekdays!

2) My dresser looks great!

3) My calendar is up-to-date; all the appointments are on it, and not on scraps of paper somewhere!

4) The other day I threw away two of those stupid metal doohickeys from IKEA that they include in the package to assemble the bookcases and such. Because the bookcases and such are assembled!

I actually used to SAVE those little metal doohickeys – God knows why. “I can’t throw them out because….they’re made of metal?” Dunno. Decisions are my worst enemy. Anyway, no more of that, and the doohickeys went into the trash, which was emptied Wednesday, on schedule!
