I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         One of my great weaknesses is procrastination. At work, I get to tasks and get them out of the way. I'm also organized at work. But away from work, I'm a mess. I delay everything.

         I have a basket of clothes I can't wear because they need ironing. I have minutes I need to type (because I couldn't say no when "they" needed a secretary-another weakness) before we get to the next meeting. I have a book to read for book club. I have two stories in my head that haven't made it to paper. There's a basket of hand-me-downs that need to go to Good Will. Let's not forget the exercise routine I haven't started. The car needs an oil change and a new tire.

         If I can wait until the last minute for anything, I will. My house is never ready for company. I order flowers at the last possible moment, or renew my driver's license the day after it expires.

         I have improved in one area. I now pay my bills immediately on receiving them. In my pinch penny days (most of my adult life), I had to wait until after payday, pay what I could, hold the rest for the next payday. Gradually, I got to the once a month paying system. Now, I've saved thanks to my rent free situation with my dad, I pay as soon as the bill comes in. I stay ahead of interest, late fees, or duplicate billing. And I've gotten a little better at ordering medicine before I run out. Most of the time.

         Now if I could just be more prompt about those chores I'm supposed to do for that rent thing.
