Procrastination Queen

so - my exam looms ever near. And I am studying , and practising my HTML coding  . I am . Really.

I'm just also very consumed by the fact that my bathroom needs to be cleaned. My kitchen is unacceptably untidy ( despite being cleaner than it has in days mind you ) and there is dirty washing that needs to be done.

I have enough underwear to last me at least another week. And there is nothing stopping me from showering , because the dirt in my bathroom that's suddenly bothering me beyond belief... it's on the windowsill, and in between the blinds , and up in the light fixture. I never noticed it until this morning really, and now it's making me itch to get in there with a norwex cloth and wipe it all away.

And now - the kitchen floor is swept , the dishes are in the dishwasher ( I can hear the water swooshing around) and my coffee is on my desk - all courtesy of my loving husband.

I have just watched him walk through to the bedroom with an armful of clean tumble-dried laundry.

As he smiles sweetly at me - I cannot help but feel an incredible irritation - and takes a dab at the bathroom floor - I realise that he's doing me a hell of lot of favours .

But damnit man. How can I continue to love a man , who ever so gently and lovingly won't let me procrastinate my studying efforts?

This is going to lead to trouble I tell you ...I'm going to have to show him .... not sure how though - he's also sorted out lunch , and answered the phone and dealt with the bank ..... and sorted out the work issues ....

Sigh - - poor old me. I have it so hard don't you agree ;-)

The joy of being a transplanted citizen

Yeah That ugly 'something has happened back home' experience has reared up again this week.  My mom had a fall, and has broken her wrist . It's a clean break, but a bad one, and she may need surgery.  *speechless*  So it's on the mend , and the doctors are trying something to help it heal without surgery first , she will go back in a week for more X-rays to see if it's working, and if not, then into theatre she will go.  The most frustrating part of all of this - is that there is absolutely nothing I can do . Nothing.  Helplessness is not a feeling that sits well in my Type A , fixer, doer , go-getter mentality.  Sigh.  I can let go of many things ...my family, my friends and those I love being in pain isn't usually one of them.  Human emotions are such raw things, and it constantly amazes me how they smack us down so completely whenever we feel like we have a handle on this thing called Life. 

A toast to taking up a new opportunity

When you're asked to propose a toast, and there's no person that you're toasting. Well, first you panic. Then you write furiously, and then edit furiously. And then you scrap your first 2 ideas. And somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd draft of the final idea : this is what you end up with. At least on paper anyway. A couple of sentences got left out here and there to save time. But this is pretty much the toast I gave this week at my Toastmasters meeting.  I  recently met a woman online in a business women support group, who's business involves selling custom shoes online. She relayed to me the story of a Venture Capitalist who declined to invest in her company, because " women will never pay more than $500 for a pair of shoes" . She tells me that he did call her back the next day to take up the missed opportunity, after his wife educated him somewhat on the world of woman's shoes and shopping habits. It was too late however, as she had already taken investmen...

'Finishing The Race' : my toastmasters Ice breaker went well last night

Not to brag ... Oh who am I kidding, I'm bragging ;) . My Ice Breaker speech went excellently well I thought.  I prepared, practised over and over, even tweaking which stories about me I wanted to tell and how I would tell them.
