Just do one little task, sj. Something you can start and finish. Tidy the sofa cushions. Straighten the slipcover, if there is one. There. Done. Now pick up the old mail off the end table, dump the junk and tuck the stuff you need to keep in a pocket or the waistband of your pants/skirt till you make a trip to the room where the papers need to be dealt with. Straighten the lampshade, square or fan the stack of magazines on the coffee table. That's done.
Baby steps. Before you know it, you've built up an actual head of steam for accomplishing larger tasks.
Or at least that's how I have to do it. I promise myself I can stop or take a break after getting this done. Okay, well maybe this too. And oh! That's where that got to, let me put it where it belongs...and I might as well take this as I go.... Viewed as a whole, it's dismaying. But nibbles are manageable.
The news about Dallas is such a relief, as I mentioned in LJ, but it's worth repeating here, too.
Nice that the Reason-able kitties are getting along.
Sending P-C all sorts of heal-ma.
And Robin, the pics of you and WBBF are very warm, personable, and not smiling through grit-teeth posed-looking.
Waving at Laura, in transit. Safe landings, lady, and safe return.

This is how I am doing it. Deena taught me that trick ages ago, and it really helps me. I still have problems doing that first step though. After that it gets better.
This is some strong gronk. I forgot there was supposed to be a Red Sox game on today, but it turns out it was rained out.
Oh! Reason kitties! I missed them. Are there pictures?
Dear lord, my gronk is strong today. I have a list of things I've decided I "need" at Target, and that's still not enough to get me up and moving.
Yes, the kitty cuteness is high!
Trinian has adapted remarkably well. She has even shown signs of friendliness towards the new boys. We are very surprised by how calm the whole kitty vibe has been.
She knows she's Queen Pussy. The kittens are both boys, right? That helps.
I've done about 10 minutes of culling paper files, and I'm pooped. This is gonna be a hella fun month.
Remember, you're gonna have lots of help. You don't have to do this by yourself. Sorry I'm not home to help today. BUT, clean laundry!
