What skills did I use on Wednesday?

I did a lot of errands/housework and felt good about filling up my day despite having no computer access at home.

In the evening I streamed a couple of podcasts and emailed a friend, which was good in terms of relationship stuff.

What skills did I use on Tuesday?

Mostly laid on the couch with Ludmilla. Back pain, weird stress in my shoulders.

Finally took a bath at 4:30 and now I am at the library watching Daily/Colbert since I can't watch at home.

Acceptance has been key to today. It is raining and I can't paint outside. I don't have a computer at home and can't watch TV. I'm off and have no designated tasks and need to accept the moments as they come.

What skills did I use on Monday?

I worked a full 8 hour shift and was a very good employee. Yes, I used a judgement word. There it is. Helpful, polite, I was asked to schedule hours for the upcoming month.

After work I took my sick Mac in and it is being repaired. I don't have access to a computer at home and Monday night was rough because I had a Facebook conflict that I had a lot of time to ruminate about.

The good thing is that I talked to a friend about it and it turned things around for me. I suppose that ended up being skillful in a way that I hadn't anticipated.

What skills did I use on Sunday?

Coped well with my family visit, but in the afternoon after they left I was sucked into feeling bad because I'd have to go to work the next day. I couldn't be in the moment and was doing a lot of future tripping.

What skills did I use today?

Wanted to tell a coworker and/or her supervisor that her insulting comments and mean spirit are the reason I will never be back. I was mad, but kept it to myself and got through the early 3 hour shift.

Came home tired and wanted to make sure the quilt was right- found a couple of problems and fixed them, added another border strip on the sides so it isn't too small. Located all the materials needed for Sunday pinning.

Threw 2 bookcases in the dumpster all by myself.

My hearing aids aren't working.

Trying to be in the moment, but everything this afternoon has revolved around being ready to have the kids over on Sunday.

And having bad scene fantasies about bee stings and going into shock while I am on my lunch break, then they don't know why I never came back from lunch.

What skills did I use on Friday?

Went to work; short day and off mid-afternoon.

Came home and worked on the quilt, which has been totally stressing me out because my time estimates on how long things take are always too low. Done.

Talked to niece and rescheduled pinning for Sunday. Better.

What skills did I use on Thursday?

I had medical/visual problems when I woke up and had to cancel on DBT.

But later in the day I was able to turn things around and got a lot of things done around the house, some in anticipation of company this weekend, some just weekly chores, some part of my redecorating plan.

I feel good about being productive.

Fell asleep on the couch with the hearing aids in, which can't be good.
