...It's 4-freakin-30 in the morning, and I've been awake since 3. I should probably try to catch another hour of sleep, but I'm worried that I'll end up waking up more tired than I am now. But if I don't, I'm going to end up exhausted by the end of the day. Rock, Hard Place, nice to meet you! The only good news is that after dragging myself through work today and class tonight, I get to sleep in tomorrow. It's the start of my week off! Yay!
So I signed up for the FlyLady e-mails with a newly created throw-away e-mail address. At least, I think I did. I'm waiting for the 'invite' ... ooooh, there it is! Okay, signed up so I can officially check the message board every morning like I'm supposed to. Because sitting in front of the computer totally = being productive, yes? (I cheated and looked ahead, boy is there a big ranty post looming in the future...)
Anyway, I've decided that 'giving it an honest try' actually means going step-by-step, as much as I can (see: shining sink and lacing up shoes). So let the e-mail onslaught begin! I'm sure I will become twitchy and irrationally angry in no time with her infernal perkiness and... let's not forget, it's a very Christian program. Lots of 'blessings' and talk about god, which is fine and dandy if that's your thing, but like a raging case of poison ivy if it's not.
<sidenote>I need a Project: Organization icon, I think.</sidenote>
BabyStep 4 is about putting Post-It notes on your bathroom mirror and above your sink to remind you of the three things you're now supposed to do - keeping that infernal sink shiny, dressing to lace-up shoes, and checking the FlyNews.
...
Okay, lemme just say that I don't really need a reminder for any of those things. I understand it's a prelude to the control journal, and a written routine, but I'd really, really, really rather just start the control journal part (yes, partly because I have a good rant about that, too). A Post-It (which I hate) stuck to one of the few clean surfaces of my house... seems counter-productive. So, since I caved on the whole e-mail/step 3 thing, I'm putting my foot down.
No Post-It Notes in this house!
...maybe I really do need to go back to bed. *sigh*
