Success

Well, this morning I succeeded in not opening up my computer until 11AM, and the only reason was to congratulate my former professor for having his book highlighted in a well-known magazine. And now to write a short update.

I learned how to freeze the fresh corn that this area is so proud of today. I may run up to the farmer's market to buy some and see if I can try it out. We are going out to dinner tonight with the rest of the professors, and because it is TJ Rockwells, lots of students as well. So nothing super special for me to make today.

Kevin gets the holiday, and I am excited to have him around this weekend. Being the extrovert that I am, it really gives me motivation and energy to have him around. I have done quite a bit today though. A lot of small things, but I find that I can motivate myself to do things (especially cleaning house) by giving myself 5 small things to do at a time. If I can put 5 things away in 15 minutes, or say, to tackle a bathroom cleaning like I did this morning, I can say "mirror, sink, put things in cabinet, tub and floor.." and it's almost completely done, so I go ahead and scrub the toilet anyway because I am so close. This helps me not feel defeated....though I need reminders quite often. (Perhaps I'm hoping I will check my own blog).

Well, off to start the 4th Harry Potter book and swim for awhile.
