moving forward

I spend a good chunk of my time supporting other folks (or trying to) in their efforts to move forward in their lives.

This is a good and worthwhile thing for me to do. I feel better. Sometimes they feel better. And once in a while (on a percentage basis) things happen.

Moving ME forward is much harder to do. I am making some progress on that front, but I can tell you that it is VERY frustrating - for me as surely as for any of my friends and acquaintences...

It really doesn't matter which of a dozen areas you would ask me about, either. I am stubborn, slow, tremulous...

Currently, I am practicing the fine art of multi-tasking... putting off several activities a the same time. I need to pick a class. Or two. I need to edit my portfolio. I need to finish up Seattle.
Or cancel it. (Which I do NOT plan to do.) (yet)

I need to make sure that there is a hotel (curses to a nameless person). I need to make sure that the bills for Chicago get paid. (2/3 of payments from receipts are in the mail (THANKS, Gennie!!!)

I need to pay personal bills. I need to prep my talks in Boxborough ( NE Homeschool Conference). I need to write. And write. And write.

it is not like there are too many windows open to get anything done. it is not like I have something else that is "really" to blame, without which it ALL would have been done...

Of course, this is all new to me. I have NEVER had these issues before.

(And THIS is with HELP - just imagine what I am like when fending totally for myself!)

Well... enough of this - I need to go find some other diversion to keep me from the tasks at hand.

*sigh*
