Monday, Jul 28th, 2008 — Your quickly shifting moods may feel like too much to handle today, but it’s your choice as to which feelings to share with others and which ones are better kept to yourself. It may be easier to talk with compassion about someone else’s problem than to open yourself to scrutiny by sharing your own. Taking the safe route isn’t a good choice if it means avoiding your feelings.

Or, perhaps, not so much. I do have a lot that I need to do today, but I think that I will be rational and not try to force myself the way I have often done in the past.

To wit:
Fax documentation to the temp agency (which necessitates finding my SS card)
Clean out car
Clean bathroom
At least START cleaning bedroom
Pay insurance
Mapquest how to get to the temp job
And, of course, WORK the temp job.

Of course, I have absolutely NO idea what the dress code there is. I think it’s most likely casual, but I shall err on the side of caution and go with business casual, like I usually do, anyway. Part of me would love to go to the thrift store, which I haven’t done in ages, but at the same time, I know I should not be spending money I do not have, even if it’s only a few dollars.

Still, the MOST important thing today is going to be getting this bedroom to what I term a live-able level. I get so caught up in the perfectionism, FlyLady is right about that!

Julie called, and my appointment is again re-scheduled, but only for 3 days later than it had been, so that’s not a big deal. The MAIN thing is GETTING IN THERE, GETTING STARTED. It hasn’t been by choice that I’ve had to juggle it out to almost a month later than originally anticipated (and, frankly, it’s STILL several months before I THOUGHT I’d be able to be seen!)
