Being Here this Morning (Part 2 of 2)

DearHeart is experiencing. Kelsie is still being very able to do the work at work, and absorbs in the actual work. She is unable yet to let go of her need for details an careful evaluative work with the clients.

Ann is doing pretty good, she still worries over the boys. She felt bad that she was so confused by work yesterday and was grateful when Kelsie took back the reigns. Kate takes frequent breaks. We think she’s under a great amount of pressure and is worrying most over the work deadlines. She is trying to see that we do work at work and play at play, but she’s battling tough odds. She also worked with Henry to set up a new system of keeping track of client needs.

Ayn’s been working on the issues of self destructiveness. This covers everything from being a diabetic and eating candy to behaviors or not paying the bills to areas that are more direct. Jesse has been noted out in the computer community. She likes to read journals.  I think she thinks of this as a good "peaceful" place for us to "hang out." She knows we’re like a falling cat. Usually, we balance ourselves so that our feet land first.

This morning now already we had a chance to IM with our friend. I guess Kate and Jamie got through the deluge enough to take on the household tasks today We are usually only computer functional. It feels the safest to us. So medicine has finally been taken and the showering under control. Next step would be to empty the garbage and clear the first of two tables with what doesn’t belong.

Hmm, we’ve been through this routine before. 8 minutes working, 15 minutes break. We have severe arthritis in our back and are not able to function any faster. Means then that after we clear the garbage, then we have to wash a load of dishes, then be getting the mail. We should also gather the dirty clothes to take to the cleaners. We also know that while we’re out we’re going to have to go to the bank to deposit a check. Then comes opening the bills and paying some.

Hmm, maybe if we offered ourselves a reward?? I know, I know ... no more candy bars. Maybe we can do all that around dinner time and stop back at the sub sandwich place for a sandwich and soup. Then maybe we can get back into the habit of having the other half for the next day’s lunch.

We figure this be an all day set of tasks. Chances are our breaks will be here though!

Hi Everyone ~ Wow, reading this is getting me overwhelmed. I like the idea of a reward. How about one task then read one journal? I also like to do that with takeout - half for dinner, the other half for next day's lunch. Then I know I'm taken care of :) Just remember to breathe through it all. Deep breaths. Ahhhhh. Love to you!

Ahhh, lettin out all this non-fresh air in my lungs and soakin up the good stuff! We had our first reward after lunch by having a frozen ice slurpy in the middle of the day ... and we treated out to the sandwich place. Nothing pleases us more than not having to cook. *Giggle* now if we can remember to pick up laundry, there will be a huge dill pickle in the deal!
