Diary of a Wom'n

I have to do this quick b/c I want to get a lot of work done today. First thing's first. I made a step towards getting myself together; this morning I woke up at 7 am to the ringing of my alarm clock. The plan was to wake up at 7 and get some errands done. I didn't actually get out of bed till 9:45 but the important part is that I set my alarm and woke up! Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up and the day after that, I'm going to do stuff. I'm taking small steps (that's putting it mildly, eh?). But seriously, I'm actually doing something about my procrastination habit. Every evening, I've taken to getting at least one errand done outside my house. Yesterday, for example, I bought a dictionary at one of my favourite discount bookstores (disregard the fact that I was there for 3 hours browsing through the shelves teemed with great books). I've been putting it off unnecessarily for far too long. So, this is my new leash on life. My new mantra is: "Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today?" The old me used to put off EVERYTHING until Friday b/c that's my one 1/2 day off and I'd imagine that I could get to my tasks then but the way my luck goes, something always takes priority and I don't get any of my things done.

Tonight's "to do" is go to Walmart and buy a plastic table cover, a man's watch, and one bra. Then, if it's open, I'm going to book an apt. at my eye-doc's. Then at home, I'm going to type out that cover letter, polish up my resume and send it to the publishing company and register for the French class.

Not to get ahead of myself or anything, but tomorrow morning, I'll make my weekly call to the TDSB and practice piano for about 1/2. After work, I'm going to Sobey's to buy a few cases of my favourite drinks and some mortadella cuts. Then at home, I'm going to call Haiat and J. Then for 1/2 I'll work on my French.

In between I'll squeeze some time to find a cure for cancer.
