So I fell in again!!! So what!?

I fell in again.  I stopped writing, working out and just have been finding it hard to get out of bed. I even quit my Real Estate office, and am looking for a new office.  Ugh.

Don't get me wrong.  At least I did accomplish some minor things while I got sidetracked.

I've landscaped my totally unruly yard and turned it into my own tropical oasis getaway.  And I threw a killer bbq for my SO (significant other).

My personal goals kinda just fell to the side when my basement got flooded about 6-8 weeks ago, then found out that I didn't have flood insurance to cover it.  I got depressed a bit.

I started at demolishing the basement,ripping out sheet rock and rotted out frame work, before the news of my lack of coverage.  After the news I kinda just went into denial.  I started working on the yard instead.

It was more fun.  I could see the progress.  Mostly, It was that I could throw a big party for my SO.

We all know how giving something can make a person feel better.  Boy did this make me feel better!  Everyone had a great time and I got lots of compliments on the yard.  So what if every once in a while I notice that musty smell from my basement.  Man.  For sure, "Denial" ain't just a river in Egypt.

I do have to deal with that.  My first step in recovery down there is to complete my demolition work and totally gut the place so I can have different companies come in and give me estimates on first waterproofing my basement, then finally renovating the basement thus expanding my living space!!

Anyway.

I also signed up to take my Praxis exams.  I need them to become a teacher in New Jersey.  (side note: It's a good thing that I didn't start this process right after graduation cause I'd just end up unemployed right now with Governor Fat-Ass running the show right now.) I have to start studying.  It's a lot of material.

What I'm lacking right now,  what I really want for myself, right now,  is the same sense of duty for myself as I have for work.

When I'm bar tending.  I'm moving constantly.  Even when there are no guests to deal with I'm always making sure that all the details are covered.  Cleaning, stocking and just making sure that everything is where it should be. 

My problem, as I've stated over and over again, having a place for everything and keeping everything in it's place, can be an overwhelming task!

So this is what I'm gonna-have-ta-do:

I'm gonna prioritize what has to be done everyday from what can be done weekly from what can be done as a project.

Sounds pretty simplistic when I write it down like that but hell....  When you've got Adult ADD, everything seems like it needs attention immediately, thus sending one down that realm of overwhelm.

So stuff like the dishes.... done everyday, check
Stuff like laundry... done weekly, check
Stuff like creating a system to deal with incoming bills and mail and junk, or gutting the basement (ugh!)......Prioritize time to get them done.  no "check" yet, but soon.

Thanks for listening to me ramble once again.
