I can't do the shoes, doesn't matter how comfy they are, I feel like I can't breathe, but I do feel weird when I stay in pjs all day, and feel even better if I put on a favorite shirt. Today my shirt is kinda smock like, in celery green, with little buttons on the front and a little pocket on each side. It makes me happy. I also am good at ignoring things that are good for me. AND at getting pissy and spending when I can't. I am teppy AND smonster. Woo!

it's like wearing a bra for a phone interview, like Erin said.

Which I totally did! And I was even dressed in more than a T-shirt. Go, me.

Glad the saying it out loud made a difference, smonster, and I hope things continue on an upward trend. Sorry about StW. That's no fun.

I have found that I can't really start working until I change out of my gown, although my spiffy "work" uniform is sweat pants and an old t-shirt.

AND at getting pissy and spending when I can't.

Good gravy, yes. I'm better about it lately, but, yeah.

I certainly don't put on shoes every day, and I have a "working at home" uniform of leggings, bloomers, and t-shirts, so I don't spend all day in pjs. But I need to be better about putting on a little bit of makeup each day, because I know the act of putting on eyeliner makes me clearer-headed.

Okay, so I went over and joined Fly Lady. I had heard of it from a friend a while ago and just didn't get it. So I'm going to try it and see. (I really need something to help me build a good chores routine.)

I need some structure and help getting my house organized and then keep it at a decent level. I'm tired of wasting so much time and energy thinking about how it's not acceptable and I hate it and blah blah blah.

I do have clothes that are some times lounge clothes and sometimes pjs. I think I'm going to try and make a clear distinction between which are which so I do feel like I'm getting dressed. Even if it is just changing into yoga pants and a sweatshirt.

The dog really helps with the whole putting on clothes thing. Well, not literally.

I'm definitely not at the point where I'm following FlyLady's schedule for newbies (I don't think I am, at least; I read through it once and then just thought about what my goals are and what I can handle).

I just started with the dang washing the dishes every night thing (although I still don't do them *every* night -- probably 5 or 6 nights a week, though), and I stuck with that for a couple weeks. Then I started adding a quick wipedown of the bathroom mirror/sink/toilet every 2-3 days, depending on how it looks. I've been doing that for about 10 days.

And just this week I started making the bed before I leave for work. Maybe next week I'll add something else in.

I don't do the daily zone chore dealies yet, although I read the e-mails and think about it.

I already was doing some stuff, like getting my clothes ready the night before, so I don't really "count" that as part of a routine, although I guess I could. But it's not something new that I started as a result of FlyLady.

Deena, it's nice to see you posting again.
