Oh no! The sun is back after two days of cold rain. Why "oh no"? Because I grew up hearing "it is nice outside, what are you doing inside?" For those rainy days I had no problem staying inside, working on my various projects. Now that the weather turned beautiful- sunny, warm and windless-I can't concentrate. Who else would I blame but my mother!! (I hope she is at least smiling at this, knowing I am only kidding!)
It is VERY difficult to stay inside getting work done when the weather is so gorgeous, but I also feel the need to advance my projects which I so dutifully carried for weeks in my suitcase so that I would have something to do when we got here. (!!)
I brought cooking magazines that needed to be culled for the recipes I wanted to keep. I brought books to read-The Happiness Project, How to Manage Your 401k, plus 4 novels. I brought a knitting project and I planned to finalize my business plan and hone my social media skills. All to be completed in 5 weeks!!!
Well, I have completed the cooking magazine project (even made one of the recipes the other night for dessert!), I have made progress on my knitting project, finished reading one novel and am 1/2 way through the second. I have added the script for google analytics to my web site programming.
What have I learned?
I have more in the queue than I can possibly accomplish in 5 weeks.
I want choices/variety.
I work best when there is a deadline.
I need to feel accomplishment.
I like having a plan, and I like being able to deviate from the plan if the mood strikes...or if the weather changes.
Thanks, Mom!!
Blue skies!
I have always said (and I'm sure it has now come to fruition) that the first 2 words out of M and M's mouths in therapy would be, "My Mother..."
