Goal For The Day

[SeekingSerenity]

Today I just want to get through today.
Without breaking down and giving up.
Without screwing up again.
Without hurting my dearest again.

Maybe just get through the day.

To find buyers for my junk. That is all that is left. Vintage bedspreads, large letters from a dry cleaner sign (keepin the "A"), take pictures with my little snapper (almost vintage!) and email them to potential buyers.

Sad, that is all I have left to sell. No big ticket items. All gone. The pawn shop won't even take my laptop! Too old! Sad but true.

Need to get rid of the "stuff" though. I get attached to things. I have to make space for the rest of my life. Fabrics, tablecloths. Why? Get to work! Get them out!

To be logged off the forum by 8pm at the latest and to relax again for a few hours before bedtime.

Do laundry and make spaghetti for dinner!

I have typed and erased so many times now...

I need to set a realistic goal, one that is achievable, not too easy - that would be no challenge... but not something that is too difficult either, then I may not achieve it and become depressed about failure. Why is this something that is so difficult to decide today? Either I am more depressed than I realised today, or maybe I am feeling good enough to aim a bit higher? I can't figure it out? I am feeling so confused...

I will go with a pretty tough one, see how hard I can try...

Today I want to pull back from my loved ones and be good to myself.

Seeking Serenity, If you need to pull back, then do it.

Some may say, "But that is just selfish", but its not. It is self preservation of your own sanity, to be able to keep going.

I go out and leave my husband to do what ever he has to, when it gets too much for me, and he has asked/told me not to go. I have still gone out, or something we both would have regretted would have been said.

It wont be the first time hubby has been in a mess with himself, tried to take it out on me and I have walked out and left him to deal with it.

If you feel you are falling into a depressive state, then standing back is the best thing to do. If you haven't got it, maybe a counselor for you would help too. Your showing your strength by asking for
help.

I must walk the dogs.
I must wash the dishes.
I must vacuum and tidy the lounge.

Then I can chill back, light candles and watch trashy TV until H comes home.

Getting out of bed

 

[SeekingSerenity]

To maintain what I have achieved.
To keep this mindset and attitude.

 

[amethist]

To keep my patience, as hubby moans about the pain in his back. :whistling:

Uhh so ready to leave for the day trip. Goal is patience, but why does it take my husband longer to wash a bald head than it does me to wash a head full of hair?

My goal is to continue to shut down the computer by 7.30pm so that I can relax and not get triggered before bed time.
