Critical mass

defined as the minimum amount of a substance required to begin a reaction (kind of).
I have reached it. I can no longer stand certain things around here. For example, when my step-son was here I could not get into this room. As a result, mail started to pile up on the kitchen table. He left 3 weeks ago and I still have not gone through the mail. The stack has gotten larger. Enough, that gets cleaned up today. Also, since we got this puppy this house reeks of pee. We use papers for her and she's pretty darn good but the house still reeks of pee. I hate that. So today it gets cleaned. From top to bottom and I'm buying some puppy pads to see if those help. And now me....I did not like the way I felt yesterday at all and I know it has to do with my a) lack of exercise and b) crappy eating. So that changes today also. First off, no junk food at all. I am going to go shopping this afternoon and I will buy good things to eat - no crap at all. Second, I need to move it, move it. I have gotten into the habit of spending far too much of my Saturday and Sunday with my ass planted on the couch or in this computer chair reading acai reviews. No more. It stops today. I am going to make a list of things to do and I am going to allow myself a specific amount of time to nap/goof off if I want to. Otherwise, I have things that need to get done. One of the problems I have is that when things get out of control - like I feel they are now - I feel the weight of these things on me. This slows me down and causes me to stop. Everything. Just stop. So I need to break off the shackles of the weight of out of control stuff and get moving again. In all ways. I also need to do fun things. I have to have fun in my day or my napping on the couch becomes my fun.  And today that begins. So here's my plan:


  • Go to school for Interview day (bleh)
  • Clean the puppy room - good, really good
  • Clean off the table - file, organize, throw away everything
  • Dance, Dance Revolution
  • Plan for next week
  • Pull out my thesis stuff and start working on that.  
That is today's plan.  In there I will also eat good and drink lots of water.  Okay, now I'm off to shower, get some breakfast and head out to school.  It will be a great day.

Sometimes you have to take a step back

 that's what I did this week. I did not look or think about my business all week. Okay, that's not entirely true, I thought about it...
