Focus

I am having a harder time keeping myself up to my daily discipline of writing every day (along with exercising every day, which seems to go by the wayside once the temperature around here creeps up above 85). I have a lot to do, but I am having a very hard time keeping myself focused. Writing down lists has helped.

I know this weekend, no matter what, I have to focus on getting all the paperwork done for Andrew's school. We feel behind a bit at the beginning of the month, when we didn't know for certain that he was going. Now that we know, we both are playing catch up. He has been working on the stuff he needs (for example, he had his physical today) and I am planning on having every piece of paperwork completed by Monday.

That means that other things have had to slide. Although the house is still clean, I'm not quite as fastidious as I was a few weeks ago. Maybe that's not so bad – back then I was going over the floor nearly every day with a Swiffer. Now it's down to once a week.

My web site idea has idled, but really that was because I needed to get all my information together. Now that I have that, I can get to work on the site and the ad.

And, I really shouldn't be quite so hard on myself. I've been making (and, mostly, returning) calls, meeting with people, filling out surveys for money. And I got my materials together and applied for that online writing job. So, not so bad I guess, all in all. I just have to keep taking it a day at a time.
