What to Do

There is much that must be done. So let’s get organized some this evening!

MBA Degree
My application has been submitted. Just waiting for acceptance letter and then communication about how I should get started. Pretty nervous about this. But I believe I can do it. I shall just get help where I need it! I had applied for this last summer, but then go moved through promotions that required my focus to be on work, not on studies.

New Ad, New Prices
We have sat through years of needing to increase our prices. It has to happen by the August issue. We have absorbed multiple postage increases because we don’t know how to manage charging for shipping and handling. But it has to happen within the next two weeks.

Adhesive
While I was off this week, 3M finally reached out to me. So now I can get quotes on the adhesive we had tested. I need to do this before we run out!

Bookkeeping
I do this carelessly. Time to get it all caught up.

Medical 2014
I need to make sure my records are in order and understood. Managed to get the taxes done all right, but I need to make good notes for 2014 and improve my records for 2015.

Dentist
I have not been to the dentist for at least three years. After Valentine messed up my bite and gave up trying to help me, I did not want to go back to him. I have asked around now and then but never took care of getting back to have my teeth taken care of. I have been told I need a couple of crowns, one tooth broke (from the bad bite), and I need cleaning and X rays, to say the least.

Outfitting Me
I benefit from blogging about what I wear. But I have not done so in almost two years.

Selling Online
I can and need to sell some things on Craigslist, eBay, Vegsource, half.com, and Amazon. Books, clothing, tools, miscellaneous.

Decluttering
Besides selling, there is stuff I just need to get out of the house. If I do not manage a garage sale this summer, I must donate it. The mess has got to go. I should not live this way.

Small Vacations
I want to take some one-tank trips or overnight trips. I cannot consider even little trips if I cannot declutter, get my MBA going, take care of business, etc.

Writing My Plans

Here are things gone wrong with my current plan:

Weight
Some pounds have come back on—6 to be exact, and failed to make progress downward since May 9.

Health Issues
A couple of ongoing issues with migraines, dizziness, weakness. Scary.

Sleepy
I have found myself willing to doze on the sofa on the pretense of spending time with Bill. Day after day, evening after evening. Even on a Saturday afternoon or two.

Little Accomplished
I have not set goals, made daily lists, or attempted to move forward in any specific manner. I get inspired on the very short term only, barely maintaining routine tasks.

Blogging
I have avoided blogging here and on my dieting blog.

Depression
I fear it would not take much for me to move in this direction. But I know where my strength comes from. I know to turn my eyes to my Maker. That hope pulls me out of the mire. But I need to get moving higher!

Quiet Time
I have fought this battle for nine years. It is astounding. And it changes on July 1. I have looked at the Word of God only in church, for devotions at work, or to look up a verse. I need to know God. As the world is heading in its sad direction, I need to know the Word to have peace, to be able to share with the lost, and to become more like Christ.
