I called back within a couple of hours instead of putting it off too long and probably not calling back at all.

WAY TO GO! CARAMBOLA You did it! You felt the fear, tiredness, etc. and did it anyway. Good for you. I hope this counselor works out well for you. Congrats on following up with the call back immediately to. You go, girl!

Start your day here sounds like a great idea for me and reading some of the posts makes me realise how much time i waste just by Not making any goals
Its nice to know we are not alone in trying to improve our lives, for years i have felt isolated, i wish i had joined sooner!!!

PLANETJOJO Nice to have you with us . You'll find a lot of support here. Just keep coming back!

As for me...

I made it to the end of my temporary job assignment. I'm proud of that because some days were tough. All the Automatic Negative Thoughts tried to creep in but I shooed them away with a new technique. Whenever I found my mind wallowing in muck I turned on what I call my "internal smile" to change my inside climate. I've found that very effective. So now I'm back to the daily grind of completing "must do's" until another job starts up in March. Today I did a lot of neglected cleaning and organizing paper work. It's not even noon and I'm pooped.

Keep posting those goals and making your day what you want it to be!

Considering that I felt so bad on my way home that when I got here I went straight to my bed and didn't move for a couple of hours even though I'd already had to pee for over an hour, it's pretty good that I eventually managed to get up, take a shower, feed myself and the animals, and do dishes.

I really hope I feel better tomorrow so I can just get as much school stuff done as possible. It's overwhelming to list it all, so I'll try to just start by picking something and working until it's done. I lose so much time worrying about what's most important and where to start. I also really need to do some laundry. I'm out of quarters, though. I'm told you can ask for a roll at the grocery store, but I'm afraid to try. I normally avoid the cashiers and use self-checkout whenever possible.

I did about 29% of the problems for one physics assignment. Not enough (I have three more late assignments to do plus three labs to finish just for that class), but better than the nothing I've been doing. And I got quarters.

Tomorrow:
- Laundry
- Finish my two late physics labs
- Try to finish at least one late assignment (or, preferably, all of them, but that's unrealistic)
- Finish chem lab
- Rewrite, organize, and summarize chem notes
- Organize other notes and things
- Take a walk?
- Go to bed before 1am at the latest even if I don't feel tired enough
