Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! (((((((lastyear))))))))) That's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo! Really happy for you!!!!

And GREAT JOB getting called for an interview (((((((PleaseHelp)))))))) Keeping everything crossed for you!!!!

Love the "do right plan"!! (((((((SunSun)))))) Good going!! I hope you have a good session with the homeopath today!

Well done!! ((((((((((((all))))))))))))))

I went to therapy this morning even though I REALLY wanted to cancel. It ended up being a productive session. I was able to cry about something. I don't cry very often, even though I often feel sad. It felt healing to just let myself cry about this.

Love to all!

I went to see my pdoc and we changed my meds around a bit. Hopefully will be seeing benefits of that. Picked up my meds. Had a talk with caterpillar's teacher about her not getting assignments done. Took caterpillar to dance.

This thread is such an exciting place, on top of being a haven. So many cool do rights to read and enjoy. I am so happy for all of you!

I made buttermilk biscuits. It's doubtful I technically *made* them, but I did prepare, savor, and share them. In fact, I think I'll have another right now, with some melted cheddar and a dash of salt. Yummy!

Sending love and friendship to everyone here.
Thanks for this!

Since it is just the beginning of the day, I will just forecast my ~do rightness~
I first came to live with my husband, in the house that he built. I wanted to turn it upside down and shake out all the contents and start again. So much stuff from his previous marriage...and relationships...were still around for me to deal with..in part, it was a layer of the formation of current depression. Not the main issue, but certainly connected.
Anywayyyyyyyyyyy...it's been over 3 years now and very little has been done to make our home..OUR HOME((<<don't mean to shout,lol!))) For various reasons...money going towards different things....the woodworking tools...on and on...mercy! I recognize, on my part, I often use the lack of finances, along with other disparaging connections to why our home doesn't look like...OUR HOME!!!!...as a weapon. [sorry about the long sentences] At the crux of this, I do believe I have been more angry about him not wanting the same...we are both heading toward 60 now and I did so want him to desire a "clean slate" if you will. We often make project lists...we have lots of "internal house" things on the list but none are high on the priority "to do"'s. Once again, we had another discussion of things we needed to do..and once again, I yearned to hear him say(without prompting)..."hey, let's decide on a color for the "whateverroom" and paint." As usual...didn't happen, so I did my thing, and brought it up...well dang,, if he didn't start getting real specific with the plan to get paint and take time off and help
And I caught myself feeling guilty..."oh there's so much to do..to buy..etc."
(OK, finally getting to it),TODAY I am going to start prepping the walls ...and he is taking Friday and Monday off to help with painting...wooohooooo!!!!

There are so many good posts here...and ty why for all the inspiration. I don't know "Byzantine" except I see a lot of the posts...and it's funny I almost heard this voice say..."Be happy you mutually converse and have project lists." ok done....blessings all!
Thanks for this!

Yay for everyone.. I really need to make this a daily habit. Monday I went and looked at some houses.

Yesterday I called the mortgage company and got them to pre-pre-approve a loan. My dad's going to cosign but he has to finish up a refinance first so I had them use the old info to determine if I would even get a loan and a ballpark figure for price. I took care of a kiddo. I'm in the process of looking for another one or two (so I can pay said mortgage). I went and pulled my audition card so I'm not in a show and trying to buy a house.

Today I've called my agent and set up some time to look at some houses I'm interested in. We're going to look around 4:30. Taking care of the kiddo. Did the dishes. Boxed up some clothes to return/exchange and set it outside to be picked up. It's now 11 am and nap time. Hopefully the rest of the day will be as productive.

I didn't cancel someone coming over with dresses for alterations, though I'm not sure re the skills for the work. I did a few moments of stretching. I will be making calls about help for a growing rusty stain and buckling on my kitchen ceiling, which must indicate a roof problem. Sigh. I'll also get outside for some exercise with my pupster.
Thanks for this!

I posted on the forums for some feedback; I resisted the urge to not share (challenged the fear that what I wrote might be silly in some way); I tried to learn from all the feedback, even if some of it made me feel a bit uncomfortable; I gave myself credit for trying, by posting here.
Thanks for this!

Went to work, I "stood up" for myself today, derailed the anger train, had a good laugh, spent some time here on PC, considering going to bed early.

Good for you buttrfli! And congratulations to everyone on their do-rights!

Yesterday I went and looked at houses some more. Went to dinner with my mom and dad. Tucked my goddaughter into bed and went to bed early myself. Today I went and got my hair done. I asked for different and it certainly is! I've been taking care of the kiddo.

My real estate agent called and she's coming over to have me sign the offer I'm making on a house :-) but first she's going to stop by her office and email it to the selling agent because it's Friday and she wants to get things going before the weekend. I'm starting to get excited. Everyone cross your fingers for me please.

You guys rock!!!! It's hard for me to think of something new to write here every day because I tend to do the same things every day.......But I love coming to read what you guys do right!!!!!!

Yesterday I was much more focused at work and I got a bunch of things done. Today I did some reading in a self-help book I want to work through. Later I'm planning to order a book on tape from Amazon so I can listen to something helpful in the car when I'm driving.

Hugs to all

Thanks to "better living through chemistry" (an extra stimulant), I got a bit more done today. Had an app't with my Pdoc, hiked an hour with a human/dog group, conducted an interview for some consulting work. I'd been fussing a lot in my mind, wanting to quit the work. But, I'd find fault with any work, I know. I declined a friend's last minute invite for a lecture by a Smithsonian botanist followed by the opening of a bulb show this evening, and while getting out (and "smelling the flowers") would have been good, it was a draining week emotionally.
Thanks for this!
