365 days of 40 #159-162

Yay for being productive.  This whole weekend, I've had something everyday. 

Friday was a landmark day, I did some baby sitting for a neighbor in need. It was with a real baby.  I haven't done that for quite a while.  It's one thing to cuddle one for a few minutes with the parent right there, it's something much different to be left alone with one for hours.  Thankfully all parties involved survived.

It's getting to be Sundance time and on Saturday, I went downtown and got all of my swag.  The nice thing about volunteering, I get a new coat every year.  While down there, I had training and saw some familiar faces, so it's going to be very exciting to work with them this year.

Yesterday I cleaned my bedroom which was good because it was a complete disaster area.  Part of the problem was I hadn't put Christmas totally away and I kept tripping over everything.  It's not quite done, but it's in much better shape.  Getting my house on order is helping my state of mind and deal with some of my mental hangups.

Yesterday, I also finally got over some of my anxiety and started researching production companies and agents.  I have a good list to start working through.  It may take me longer than I had hoped, but only because I'm so neurotic. 

Baby steps are getting moving in the right direction.

The biggest news was the fact that I started on Confessions today and I wrote 5 pages.  It's definitely a good thing for me to leave my house, there are far fewer distractions, namely TV.  I got the pages written in just a few hours.  It helps that I've already outlined everything, it's going so much faster.  I'm going to go over to the library every day this week.

I think parallel goals is going to be the key.  I work on one for a while, take a break and do something different then go back to the first thing.  That's my pattern of success that works the best for me.  So why try and do anything different.  I just need to add some kind of workout and that would be the perfect triad.  One day at a time, I don't want to overwhelm myself, I'm so NOT a type A personality. 

That's okay, I'm just me, and I'm pretty good.
