Yesterday (Monday) was crazy-busy (w/ some aggroness but mostly good stuff)! But it didn't get recorded in my blog because Twitter, for some unknown reason, suddenly stopped cross-posting my tweets to LiveJournal (tweets that in turn were cross-posted to Twitter from the original app I used, Foursquare). I changed NO settings, but it changed itself ( Read more... )

But first, two quick questions: (A) is it normal to have one or two productive days followed by a day that's not very productive? and (B) even if it IS normal, is it common to feel disappointed &/or guilty when it happens ( Read more... )

Today was quite productive but not quite exciting! ;) But because I have a longstanding agreement w/ myself to "celebrate the small victories" (due to my challenges relating to motivation, organization and distraction), I like to record when I have a particularly accomplished day. This somewhat offsets the days when I get almost nothing done and ( Read more... )

Between yesterday (Monday) & today I got another bunch of things done! :) As you know, I like to "celebrate the small victories" when I have productive days, because due to my challenges w/ concentration, motivation, organization & procrastination, sometimes I have very UNproductive days, & then I feel bad ( Read more... )

Today (April 4) is World Rat Day. ~~~((()))3:>X Squeek! You can click that link to visit the World Rat Day website; it's worth a visit! Being a once-and-future rat mom, I couldn't let today pass without mentioning my late great blue hooded boys, Blueberry & Jellybean. <3 That's them in the icon for this entry. They lived from May 7, 2007 thru Jan. ( Read more... )

It's been a very nice long weekend, and it's not over yet, because tomorrow (Monday) is Cesar Chavez Day, so Shawn has the day off from work. And he worked from home on Friday (I forgot why but it's not commonplace) so that made/makes it a four-day weekend! :D I had a big batch of freelance editing/proofreading (CE courses, as usual) that I worked ( Read more... )

Yesterday & today I got so many excellent things at such good prices that I just have to share!! :"> I'm far from a shop-a-holic, & I don't do "retail therapy". But I do enjoy certain types of shopping, esp. when I patiently wait for sales &/or clearances &/or coupons! That's why I call myself a SAVVY shopper! :D Frugal too! When you've been ( Read more... )

As some LiveJournal &/or Facebook folks recall from my It Figures journal entry May 21, either I want to blog but don't feel motivated, or I have the motivation but don't have the time. :( :"< May is just SUCH a crazy-busy month, due to all the birthdays (mine & several family members) it contains, plus the holidays it contains (Mother's Day & ( Read more... )

I was just doing a mega load of laundry & started thinking what a productive few days I've had! So I thought I'd record it in my blog. My whole life I've had challenges with things like motivation and organization, so during the times when my ADHD tendencies make me feel bad about myself, it's nice to have "on the record" some instances of actually ( Read more... )

Recently, when I blogged here on LiveJournal after a multi-month absense, I titled it "Don't faint; Scary Shari's blogging again!" Thankfully I don't think I need to worry about making anyone faint anymore, since that was only about 2 weeks ago. heh So instead I will just start with another mishmash of miscellany.

MY OLD NEMESIS, THE EDD, REARS ( Read more... )
