I swear today I will get something done. I have gotten in the habit of putzing. I can blame it on mom, depression, lack of enough work, laziness, sad events on TV, the weather,debt, worry, bills, lack of sleep, illness. It only took me about 15 seconds to come up with that list. I am really good at making excuses for my lack of productivity. Unfortunately when you don't get things done you just fall deeper into the mire that created your problems in the first place.When you don't do the work available to you you don't get paid. When you putz around getting nothing done, soon it is dinner time and you want to go out or order in. When you have a case of the lazy's (my own word) dishes pile up, beds go unmade, clutter abounds and you find yourself wanting to escape your surroundings. This leads to debt for me. I want to go shopping even if it is groceries I don't need anything to escape what I really need to be doing. I want to treat myself to get out of my slump.
I can use any excuse to not do what I really need to do and this is such a bad habit of mine. I let little things get to me, I also let big things get to me. Today I received a bill from the dentist for $196.00. I don't know why I did not know this, but I some times out my head in the sand. I thought I had dental coverage and I don't. That is a separate policy with the State and I will not pay it as it is an extra $37.00 a month. If I take care of my teeth and have them cleaned once a year I can pay for a cleaning. Now I could let this dilemma throw me into the couch for the day. I could rant and rail and yell and say no matter how hard I work something always comes to take my hard earned money. Actually this is true, but is it going to change? Probably not.
I/we will always fight most of the things listed above. The funny thing is, that the more I learn about control and frugality, the less these bad habits derail me. I recognize my faults and I say where is this coming from? Usually it boils down to my just letting my spoiled nature take over. My inner brat comes out to party. She loves to party and always leaves a trail of crap in her wake. Un paid bills, charge card receipts,a dirty house, piles of laundry, clothes and clutter I don't need. Trying to control her is hard. I am learning.
I am going to get a firm grip in the brat. Nuf said. Let's get to work.
Have a great and productive day, staying positive while in the negative.

DeleteLife indeed is GRACE, I'am Daan Sophia currently in California USA. I would like to share my experience with you guys on how I got a loan of $185,000.00 USD to clear my bank draft and start up a new business. It all started when i lost my home and belongings due to the bank draft I took to offset some bills and some personal needs. I became so desperate and began to seek for funds at all means. Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com).. So if really you are genuinely in need of a loan either to expand or start up your own business or in any form of financial difficulty, i advise you give Mr Josef Lewis of Progressive loan the opportunity of financial upliftment in your life Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565 and not fall victim of online scam in the name of getting a loan. thanks
Seeing all the things that you get done throughout the day I think you are waaaaaaayyyyyy too hard on yourself. You put me to shame. Anna
ReplyDeleteI know, I know my sense of over achievement is my worst fault. "Splat!"
DeleteDitto what Anna said
ReplyDeleteI know, I know.....
DeletePut that $37 in special account and not only can you afford to pay for teeth cleaning, you would have an "insurance policy" for the bigger dental bills if/when they come. You seem to get lots done, but if this self-examination leads to more productivity, you are going to be so fired up, you will leave a smoke trail behind you.
ReplyDeleteMy pants are on fire.
DeleteWe buy the dental insurance, but I often second guess our decision. I figure with two cleanings a year, it sort of pays for itself. (?)
ReplyDeleteWell I really have no excuse, our daughter can clean them for free and get us 50% off any other procedure, so we just have to drive 2 hours. That is what we will do from now on.
DeleteYou "Lazy Woman" put me to shame! ;) If I did even half of what you did on one of your lazy days I would be in my recliner for days recovering. My dining room table is currently piled with a month's worth of magazines along with my huge dehydrator, a Christmas present that I have to get over to my cousin, and a few other things, the floors are in desperate need of mopping, I need to clean the guest bathroom and I really should get out of these jammies and into some real clothes for the day. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have piles of things that need to be taken to people also, get a steam mop they are the best!
DeleteThe "brat" is strong in me today...
ReplyDeleteLove the thought of the "brat" inside us all!!
