Bite Me!

Kitzilla has an attitude--and it is not of a gratuitous nature!  She has a motto; yes, you've guessed it with a little help from this post title.  Does that wench care that I feed her every morning? Provide shelter, warmth, sustenance?  Oh no, it's an attack and a growl before she receives her morning coffee.  I think I posted once about trying to change my attitude in the morning.  I'm too lazy right now to look it up; just take my word, I think I remember posting about it!  Some people wake up smiling and saying "Good morning, God!" and others, like Kitzilla, wake up barking "BITE ME!"

I, on the other hand, woke up with a feeling of accomplishment and ready to take on my today.  What's with the Strawberry transformation?  I took control.

First, I cancelled online subscriptions that had been weighing me down.  Draining (of sorts) my credit card each month...okay, they were a mere drop in the bucket of debt but hey, I wasn't using them like I should and due to the fact that they were automatically taken out each month and I didn't have to think about it and re-evaluate it each month, Yes!!! It was a drain on the credit card.  It goes under the category of "mindless stuff Strawberry does."  Like mindless eating; mindless TV watching; mindless everything!  How much better to have a plan.

So getting back to yesterday: I had a plan.  I wrote it done.  First off the list was cancelling online subscriptions (oooh, I'm having a feeling of déjà vu).  Second was my cleaning list.

You might not be able to read my list, but please notice ALL the crossed off markings!  I crossed everything off that list!!! Whoo hoo!!

Front entryway: done!

family room?  oh yeah

Cosmos says "bite me" too!  

My list contained doable things.  I did not add clean up bookshelves.  That is a monstrous task that I didn't have time to do along with all the other items on my Tuesday list.  I can look beyond the messy bookshelves and smile knowing my floors and carpets and tabletops are clean and shiny and that is good enough for me right now.  After Thanksgiving I'll worry about the bookshelves and organizing them....they ARE dusted, though!

So how about you?  Any projects that seem so daunting that you aren't doing them?  Try making a doable list.  Start with cancelling those things that you aren't using right now but plan to in ______ fill in the blank here.  Any time in the present?  Future?  If you aren't taking advantage of that deal, it is no longer a deal.  Save that money now.

As for me, I have my Wednesday list waiting patiently.  

Happy Thanksgiving, Grainiacs.  May your attitude be one of gratitude this season.

Blessings, Strawberry
