May latest check in –

First off let me start by saying that because I had so much trouble posting my last update that I have given up .

The List –

1. Story: I have actually been writing edits for the story. I’m room on page 10 and am proud of myself. I almost just wrote a ‘but’ statement and put it down. I stopped myself.

2.Affirmations -No work on it.

3.Community- l forced myself to read some emails from a friend that I had not been reading, avoiding for some reason. If I did not read them then I could avoid emailing her. Cleaver. Sad. Ah, procrastination, got to not love it.

4.Re-pay mom-I again put some money in this account. Its not a consistent amount or a consistent thing, but its a start and no matter how small the step its a step forward.

5.Bills-I had some difficulty this past month, I got everything paid. The difficulty was a late paycheck and the bill came due. I paid as much as I could and then I paid the rest late. That was beyond my control. I borrowed money from my savings and paid it back, but I just realized I am in overdraft. Fixed.

6.Organizing-While I’ve not been doing it consistently daily I have made significant headway. I’ve been reading that book about Organizing For People With ADD and it’s good. I recommend it. My new mantra has been ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. I got a Command Hook for my keys and have been working on throwing stuff out. I’m using a ‘to do’ list a bit more, still some challenges there. I also am looking into those key tag tracker things.

7.Baisness-NA

8. Jewelry-I’ve not done any work on this.

9.Self-care-I’ve been wearing a wrist brace religiously for my carpal tunnel, I think I missed one night. Guess what? The world did not end.

10.Self-help-I have been doing a few suggestions in my organizing book.

6. Clean Organized Room: I still want so call it a clean room. I have been very good with shredding papers and dumping my garbage can instead of just pushing stuff down. I have also been thinking about changing from dressers to a shelf and bin idea for my clothes. I think it would suit me better.
7. Business: no longer applicable.

Now for May:

Check in on my goals:

1. Short Story: still only writing fanficton. I keep saying at least I’m writing, but it does not count, they may be my stories but not legally.
2. Positive Affirmations: Can I lie and say I’ve been doing this one? No? Fine, I’ve not been saying my affirmations.
3. Community Involvement: Nothing, nada, zip. Although, I guess the farmers market is community involvement. So, I still go there.
4. Pay Mom: I have added a pittance to this fund I also am thinking I need anew car. Mine has been breaking down often. I want to finance as less as possible when I do buy a new one.
5. Bill Payment: Because I worked reduced hours I was met able to make full payments on everything and had to settle with partials payments on a few. I still managed to pay something on everything. I also filed my taxes, not got my return yet but I filed them with a month to spare.

May Check In

So, first, I did not post my last check in. I am doing that right now. April was not good for me, it was spent recovering from March. I am doing a lot better now. Sometimes you got to stumble.

April check in –

So its been a tough month for me, but I think a lot of the bad is resulting in some good stuff. I think sometimes you have to fall down to get back up.

Lets start with my list –

1. Story: I printed off my story but have not done any work on it. I am writing a fanrfic epic.
2. Affirmations: I’ve not been saying them.
3. Community Involvement: I’ve kept up what I had been doing last month, having my friend over every week. That is a successes. I have been catching myself trying to minimize it.
4. Re pay $6000: I’ve added a few dollars to this fund but I will have a new challenge; I’ve taken a cut in my hours at work, it was for mental health reasons.
5. Bill Paying: Referring to the above statement means some belt tightening, but so far I have been doing this.
6. Personal Spaced: I had started working on this, then I fell off the rail. I’ve restarted and am talking about this one in group therapy.
7. Business: someone bought my bookstore. What I have been thinking about is how much trouble I have making labels for my stall at the Farmers Market. Does that mean I should not own a business? I do think my ADHD will mean I would need some extra support.
8. Farmer’s Market: I’ve not made a sale in a while.
9. Self Care: I had a bad month in a mental health realm, the good news is I have returned to my group therapy. This is a good thing.
10. Self Help Books: I’ve done no work on this

There have been some things that I’ve done nothing on for a number of months. The question is do I truly want those goals or should I drop those goals? I got to think about that.

McLovin: I forgot about that. It is always hard to see the accomplishments. I say I forgot, but I think I knew on a subconscious level. That’s why I am recording my accomplishments.

Larynxa: winter is very hard for me. I forget that. I am taking a day off next week, some me time. I am proud that I heard myself say I am tired and even more happy that I am taking action. Of course now I am fighting the urge to book appointments and to do lists for Friday. I need to sleep in and drink ridiculously priced coffee.

I have been thinking about a Coach. The challenge is I think it would be better face to face rather than over the phone for me. There is also the issue that there is no one qualified in my area for ADD, meaning that I would have to do distant coaching. That and the money. Can’t afford it today.
