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.
Thanks, P-Cow! I hope to continue, barring nap days. I'm tired, but not sleepy, and in surprisingly little pain tonight, so I'm kinda liking this saying hello, thingy. Of course, 5 minutes from now I'll get up to do something, forget, and go to bed, but for now I'm all woohoo for clarity!
