Tuesday, Procrastination is my name!

     I am slowly going into show mode.  I do not like show mode.  When I get overwhelmed with to dos I have a tendency to turtle and procrastinate.  Now I realize that this is not something that people would see as a problem with me but it is a serious problem.  I don't know if it because it is humanly impossible to get my list done (more than likely) or if it is just that I get spoiled and stubborn and will carve me time whether I have the time or not.  Maybe it is a defense mechanism, mental or otherwise.

     I am very behind in the shop and I need to catch up.  Because next week I will be in costume hell and I also desperately need the money.  When I get up in the morning, I immediately take my meds and this includes anti-inflammatory drugs.  My hands are stiff, actually I am stiff but arms and hands are really bad.  I give myself a 1/2 hour on the computer to let the meds take affect.  I check my e-mails, studio, personal and then the blogs.  I also post at this time.  But I have found myself really wasting time and not getting the proper amount of sewing done.  So I have decides to switch up my schedule until after the show.

     I can check the emails as that is necessary and I can check the blogs but no posting until I have sewn $100.00 worth of product.  This morning I went into the shop and hemmed 8 items and put darts in two more.  I was in there less than and hour and have made $87.00.  I have a huge pile to do as soon as this post is done.   I just am having trouble staying motivated. I want to take a nap and  I just got up.

     I had a call from the printer and my show posters are done.  I also have a lunch date at 1:00 with the TV station for a commercial for the show.  So many little things every day, but big things every day after Saturday. 

     I have not even started paying bills for the month as I have no money, but that should change by Saturday.  I sent home notes yesterday about tuition and costumes, all fees for the upcoming performance are due Saturday.  We will see.  I won't hold my breath.

     Out My Window:  watered the yard 2 times yesterday it was so dry.  You could just hear it sigh with relief.  Very hot here but I say Yippee!

     I am off to sew a pile of clothes, 2 zippers and 6 more hems before my next break!
Have a great and productive day!
