So how am I doing?
Aug. 6th, 2002 11:29 pmPretty well, I guess.
Yesterday, I felt like I was getting sick. This morning I didn't feel so well, but by midday, I didn't feel it any more. I think I hadn't been getting enough sleep. Last night I went to bed at eleven, which is early for me, but I woke up early because the house was so cold, so I'm not sure how much good it did me. I'm shooting for being in bed by 11:30 tonight, so I've got to hurry here.
I feel like I've been getting a handle on my life again. I'm getting the house cleaned up - and keeping up with it (so far). Tonight, I organized a few papers that had collected on my kitchen table (the great repository). I found last month's bank statement, and balanced my checkbook. You're gonna hate me for this - since I have weekly direct deposit for my paychecks, and I know what I make at the minimum, I figured out when I will have enough money in my account to pay each bill, and I wrote out payment for three more bills and sealed and stamped them, and wrote on the back of each one which day I should drop them in the mail box. It works because I don't write checks except to pay bills, and I just paid the only variable bill I get - the credit card. So I've got all my bills paid for the rest of the month. I feel good about getting all that together.
Work is going a little better this week. I've been able to stay focused on my work. The reason it is so difficult to do that is mostly because of LiveJournal. It distracts me a lot, and I feel like I'm not getting my fair share of work done. I don't feel good about myself when I go home and I can only account for half of my work day. It's even worse than that because I already don't count most of my online time on my time sheet. I've been trying to limit my LJ time while at work. Today I even took a short lunch. I got overtime. That’s kind of new for me. It would be nice to end up with an extra twenty or thirty dollars in my pocket after a week's work. I can only do that if I stay offline more than I have been. I've been disappointed that I haven't been able to make some of the longer posts that have been on my mind, but life comes first.
Seems like there's more I want to say, but I'm out of time.
Seeya!
