I’m fully aware that it’s not time management skills I need, it’s self-management skills. Or, as an article I read tonight put it, attention management. Knowing I’m far from alone in this, isn’t really much comfort. I want to do what I want to do, not what I end up doing! (And as I finish typing […]

I had a lot of plans for when I (finally!) turned my book in. Just like I always do. I would read! I would write for fun! I would edit! I would go to movies and do things and life would be marvelous! I’m…working on it. After so long of trying NOT to do all

2017 Can DIAF

It was the year I was afraid to look away from the news. It was the year I bought a house, then Republicans did whatever they did to make sure I received no financial boost from being a homeowner. It was the year my dog had cancer again. The surgery cost $2000 and the vet

Progress Check...Not Much, But Some!

So July 4th. Independence Day. I printed the calendars. I did not finish setting up the rules, laying out the boundaries, or putting the darn things on the wall. Nope. None of that. I have, however, been doing better at the things that I was going to create the calendars to help me do. I’m

Freaking Hot

We have come, my friends, to that Time of Year again. When all I want to do is hide in my house. No, I don’t want to go out. No, I don’t care if the sun just came up. As I left for work today at 7:30, it was eighty-three freaking degrees outside. I ask
