Wednesday, I need a butt kick!

 

I kinda need a butt kick.  I took the day off yesterday.  Met up with an out-of-town friend and did all the secondhand stores and then watched a series on Netflix.  I felt very lazy and guilty at the same time. But I did it and now I have to play catch up.

I was supposed to have a bride here at 10:30 to pick up a dress and she is a no show.  I really need these dresses picked up.  I keep having cars pull in and I think that is her and it is just more work from another client.  So, I guess I am going to have to call her and nag, which I hate to do.

Just had a client drop off egg cartons and extra hangers, and boy am I grateful for both.  Did you know that you can buy egg cartons at the feed store here?  They are $1 a piece.  You can buy a dozen eggs for $1 most of the time.  I suppose you could order them in bulk for a lot less, I just don't have room to store 1000 egg cartons. Hangers are expensive so getting them from clients is great!

The house is a mess. It needs vacuumed and laundry put away, beds seen to, and just a general cleaning. I on the other hand need to be in the shop.  At least Hubs is up with Oliver today and has to be at the high school tonight, so I am left alone to get things done.  I have no excuse not to other than my energy slump.

I am going to call Sissie after this post for a good old chew out, that might help. But them again we will probably just gossip and laugh, and I will get even less done. What to do? what to do? Need some pointers on staying motivated here.  I am usually good at this, and a list will motivate me, but I don't think that is going to work today.

Maybe if I set a timer? Sometimes that helps when I get an attack of the I don't want to's. 

Things I must do today:

1. finish man's suit (it is ripped and ready to press)

2. finish a bridesmaid dress (started and needs the machine)

3. finish a brides maid dress (already started need the machine)

If I can get these few things done, I will feel better and then maybe I can convince myself too actually be productive.

I did fill the bird feeder and watched the birds for a while.  I did scatter birdseed over the fence and watched a little clutch of baby bunnies come and eat. I did check on my seedlings and some of them have sprouted. You know all necessary things that lead to work getting done.  Watching seedlings grow.

Come on do any of you ever get like this?  Blah!

Kim is talking herself into working. Kim is talking to herself..... send help quick.  Or at least make me laugh.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
