The new bamboo fleece was definitely more comfortable than the towels.

I didn't work as intensely as i have been yesterday. I recognize i am not letting myself "win" at satisfaction, which is probably a "win" in itself. Monday's dissatisfaction was because i planned and was interrupted; yesterday i didn't plan (still resenting Monday, i suspect) and didn't have interruptions, but twiddled the time away. I had left room in the afternoon and evening for possibilities, but those mostly didn't happen.
Why don't i list the things i did do, eh?
* I met with folks early in the day so there was time for east coast folks to respond.
* I was AVAILABLE for B-B late into the afternoon when he had questions.
* I recognized when i sent a wet blanket email and followed up with an apology.
* Two laundry loads.
* Chatted with neighbors i hadn't chatted with before.
* "Wrapped" the tools we needed to do what Christine asked that we set aside time to do, and got to see Christine go from puzzled to delighted as she unwrapped them.
* Adventure with soldering a 3.5 plug on the antenna wire for Christine's birthday.
* learned how to make a playlist from the "genius" playlist with a filter so i don't have to hear songs i don't like or songs i only like in a narrow context.
* snuggles with Greycie Loo.
* fixed the long cooking elements of the dinner we had planned.
* i tracked down where my flex plan payment was.
* AVOIDED STRAIGHT SWEETS ALL DAY (although i found myself eating lots of sunflower seed butter, which has sugar).
* I cut the new fleece fabric into appropriate size sections, not letting it sit around and be a lingering project. I even started experimenting with hemming it.
So, that's pretty good, self.
This morning the inbox queue is pretty light, some financial awareness was achieved Just In Time, needs for tonight's meeting are close to met, i've processed some @followup.
I'm going to carry the scooter to the office today. I may not get a break in the afternoon to ride, but the weather is wonderful, and i need some exercise.

Today's reminder from "The Comfort Queen" is that i should find a promise i've made to myself, one too vague, too unspecific, and either drop it or rectify so it's something i can achieve. ("I am so smart. S-M-R-T." Meow) I'm not coming up with something like that. I am coming up with fuzzy "shoulds." This may be where my stuckness comes in: i know i can't meet the shoulds, that the shoulds are impossible, but i spend energy denying them to see them rise up again, instead of negotiating with them to transform them into possible tasks.
