Overwhelmed again. 1.18.19

Can’t leave the house. Was supposed to have lunch with a dear friend. So far I haven’t made it to shower.

I bring it on myself. I know this. Procrastination at its best.

And today I have amazing focus. No one is home. I’ve swept floors, shook rugs, and burned boxes. And laundry-the song that never ends.

So I’m focusing on the wrong things. Again. Overthinking my to-do list. Again.

And meanwhile, continuing to fight the panic attack that’s been growing for 2 weeks.

Just do it. 1.20.19

God, what a cliche. And I’m old enough to remember when it was new!🤭

So true. Oh so true. I procrastinate so badly. On every stupid thing and on important things.

I finally started a planner page I’ve put off for literally weeks. Drawing lines on graph paper. The 2018 calendar has caused me giant anxiety for weeks-what of I do it wrong – ITS my freakin planner, dumbass, who cares?!?

So I did it. Smoking in my garden shed. I feel better now. Cold-its 17 degrees , but lots better.

I just did it.
