Open Week

Here was the plan: vacation, go to Jupiter, fly non-rev, visit with fam. 

Here is the situation: MJ can get me home next Saturday, MJ can't get me there before Thursday.

Here is the problem: one week, no plans.

What I have learned with my recent awareness of ADD and me, is unscheduled time is problematic. Couple that with my recent awareness of my compulsivity with online computer games, and I have a whole bunch of time to do nothing. I am working on a schedule for the week. I am working overtime to come up with things that help me with my goals instead of sabotage them, ie. "let's do lunch!" It is still too snowy/icy to ride/walk outdoors. It is the perfect temperature at the gym. It is the perfect time to take care of projects in my house. It is the perfect time to unpack a few more boxes, write a few letters, file my taxes, do all the things I feel I don't have time for during the work week. As I write, I am actually getting excited about the week! 

How sweet is this?? I have an entire week to do things I normally don't have time to do! I am going to set dates with myself to do certain things, so I'm not facing each day with the prospect of "what am I going to do today?" I find that if I get started each day, the day flows. I will continue to take my medication and I will find a place to shred that huge box of paper! It's all about management. I can manage this.
