Kick In The Bum!

I had an appointment yesterday in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a professional associate whom I haven't seen in four years.     I never expected it to also include a good-swift-kick-in-the-bum . . . but, in retrospect, it was.     The man I met with didn't "buy" any of my excuses as to why I am failing miserably with my first draft of my novel, or why I find it impossible to push myself away from the Internet - surfing blogs for clicks - when I have research and "real" work that needs to be done, or even my lame excuses as to why I procrastinate over certain things that I "know" are necessary tasks that I just don't want to do.

So, today, I gave myself a time limit on the blog surfing - with more time spent reading than just clicking, I actually did some research on my book, I made some telephone calls that needed to be made, and I started planning a joint photography show with my s.o.'s cousin (he's a professional photographer - very talented!).     Now, I just have to keep this up!!

Also, the satellite company came out to install the HD/DVR-receiver upgrade on the new 52" HD television, and the DVR-receiver upgrade for the master television upstairs.     The installers brought the wrong HD-receiver upgrade (no DVR recorder) for the new television downstairs, so they are ordering the correct receiver, and will have to come back out to switch out the incorrect non-DVR for a DVR recorder that is also HD capable.

It may sound dull-and-boring but, . . . to be honest, . . . I feel like I actually accomplished more today than I have in days/weeks!     Now, if I can just m-a-i-n-t-a-i-n my initiative . . .

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
