Derailed, New Rail

I last left you wondering how I was going to make it through last week with so many distractions, including having my old, blind dog finally put to sleep. Nothing kills the mojo like the death of a pet

There is nothing like having a plan. I do the same thing, where I get depressed and mad at myself for not making a goal (writing, weight, etc. etc. etc.), instead of doing something about it.

I think you're wise not to take too much on at once and set yourself up for failure. Better to say: here's what I'm doing now, and when I've cleared the decks from that, I'll be free to write on VP. :) I think you've got a great plan.

*hugs* (And I'm working on the weight thing, too. I get so mad at myself, because it doesn't take much weight to really affect my health, and yet I let it creep up anyway, then feel miserable, then eat more....)

I tend to be optimistic rather than realistic. It's hard to admit I can't do it all. Thanks for the feedback. Knowing someone else agrees makes it a little easier to swallow.

Part of me is scared this is just another stall tactic, but I know I can't do everything I'm trying to do right now. If I try it'll lead to yo-yo writing (instead of dieting!).

I'm so sorry about your dog. The critters certainly do affect us, don't they?

I thought I was going to be mostly okay and took her by myself, then afterwards I was shakey. Then after a bit, I made myself laugh by turning on my headlights and becoming a one car funeral procession.
