Procrastinating Goat

I really really need to stop being stubborn and I need to stop procrastinating. I know it’s a Goat’s thing but at times I really don’t do myself a favour by feeding this Goat trait of mine nice juicy green leaves just to keep it alive. I need to set priorities right but I’m weak and so easily distracted so I end up doing things that I shouldn’t be doing. I end up writing that email to a friend instead of staying focused and concentrate on work to be done as in building loads of websites…

Yesterday was a weird day, lucky me I had some moments with Leo in between appointments before he will be off to another unknown destination this morning. I had to see my GP about something that has been bugging me for five weeks already [five weeks seems to be the magic procrastination number somehow]. Leo made me call for an appointment last week, I’ve waited this long because my GP moved surgery and is now situated in the ‘badlands’, too far away.

So yes, once again Doc was upset with me for leaving it too long, so here I am having to take two different antibiotics twice a day for the next week, some other pills to suppress the symptoms and some other ugly looking drink mixture with morphine. No idea why I’m getting morphine [something you won’t easily get in the Lowlands but it seems to be quite normal here and in France as well btw] probably to take care of the pain I guess. Would make sense but still: I need a clear head…

And on top of that I’m supposed to go to the hospital again to have tests done. When do I have time to do this? See, that’s exactly where stubbornness creeps in… I’m in the middle of a serious deadline and I simply don’t have time. I also had to see my accountant yesterday which turned out to be quite fruitful, resulting in a two hour chat instead of half an hour that I’d asked him for, resulting in more work as in assignments and a discount. It seems things are slowly starting to pick up.

But boy… I need time… more time… and a lot of people seem to claim mine somehow, it’s not just one email a day, I receive about five a day and people are waiting for replies, both business and personal. So I’m gonna stop procrastinating today and crack on with it. No more replies to personal emails for a while, friends should understand that getting my life back on track is my number one priority. I’m gonna be stubborn but in a good sense… It’s called time management baby!

So instead of sending me an email it would be so much easier to post a comment for me here!

:P

I’m Stupid…

coz I’m ill by overwork and I’m dealing with the consequences… I’m gonna stay away from computer and blogging for a while until the inflammation is gone.

I can hardly type because of severe RSI, a combination of Tendinitis [upper arm], Bursitis [shoulder blade] and Carpal tunnel syndrome [wrist and forearm]. Being in denial or trying to stay a tough cookie is not gonna do me any good. So for once in my life I’ve dropped the Capricorn attitude [read: stubbornness, perfectionism and perseverance] and stay away from my computer if I don’t have to work. So no emails, no comments. I will be reading though but in silence.

Not a good time either since I’m in the middle of designing a major online shop for an important client. They approved my sketch last Friday, I’ve just finished another and I’ll need to get the shop done by the end of the month… I’m doing work that normally at least two people would do: one developer and one designer: I guess I’m paying for it in a way. So if I don’t rest, all of this would be a pointless effort and I refuse to go there…

Speak soon!
