Hopefully the termite guys are done...the lack of noise will make a Good day for me. But that is what my headache was so that's good.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Oh, I'd forgotten to comment on the catapults and battlements. That does evoke a cute picture. I wouldn't have thought to remove the rug until it was liberally bedaubed with blue.

Timelies, all. There was a Good Stuff thing making the rounds upthread a bit. The best thing that happened to me this year was hearing that Mom's cancer was in remission. Huge weight off my mind.

Timelies!
Yay for Nora!
vw, I'd still really like to contribute to your buffista research, if it's not too late.
Fay, it’s absolutely not too late. You can find the survey here: [link]
Just found out that the three kids of a friend i was going to see this weekend all have chicken pox. The oldest two had the vaccine. The youngest is 7 weeks old. Poor baby - I can't imagine what that would be like for him (and his mom. Three kids with chicken pox simultaneously!)Ugh. How awful. Reminds me of our family a bit. I came down with the chicken pox 3 days after my baby brother came home from the hospital. Two weeks later, my other brother got them, 12 days after that the baby brother got them. My poor mom!
Anne, I have the same problem (hence a package that needs to go out to you that you *still* haven’t gotten). And, Emily’s birthday quilt from almost two years ago that still isn’t done. I’m worse, I think, with craft projects, but yes, it does ripple through life. This week alone I’m behind on two school assignments, but that’s not only procrastination…it’s also this asthma thing. I’m with Deena, lists help, but unfortunately there is no pill for this…just life-long working.
I think it’s important to note all of the factors and vulnerabilities too…it’s probably not *just* procrastination. You’ve been dealing with a lot with job stuff, moves, depression, etc. Those things feed the procrastination, and also give reasons for things being at a lower priority.
As with dealing the “messes” procrastination creates, apologies and honesty are what I find to work best. I know it’s uncomfortable, but people do love you, and they will forgive you.
I’m on house arrest today. Wonder if that means I can do laundry.

Oh! I forgot to say my good thing. Hmmmm...there's so many. I finished my incompletes. I got a job. I'm taking a full course load this semester and plugging away. Actually, I guess the best thing is just that I'm still plugging away.

Good thing: Novel's finished. Always feel a little short of good things...(no shit. Really?) Have done a little bit more about the things that bother me than worry this year.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Moving is good.
Moving in with Daniel is very good.
t smooch I agree.
Oddly enough there is reciprocity in my "good thing."
Having Andrea here in person is most certainly my very good thing that happened this year.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Good thing: I finally feel like I am in a good place in my life again. Maybe for the first time in about ten years. I am in school, working, taking care of myself and my home, and, of course, I have Dave, who makes it all a little easier. I may not be juggling it all perfectly, but I think I am getting better at it a little bit at the time.
