I don't know where the time went today. I woke up late this morning: 10am and I had to rush to the school to unload the kiln, late, and then I walked over to the market and chatted with some market friends for a few hours. By the time I got home it was close to 6pm and I spent time on the phone and now it's late and that order is still not done and I never did clean out the fridge last night either. It seems that when I am preparing for a Big Thing like my children's tech gig all next week it's like I want to do ZERO until that day comes. I *know* I will be working my a$$ off then, why do it now? See? All or nothing thinking/binge working/procrastinating/perfectionism it's all wrapped up in that statement. Anyway, at this point I'm just noticing and that's okay. Small goal tomorrow: finish my order and get it in the mail.
Thanks for reading.
