Yesterday's exercise in following will over flesh: success! I did not accomplish everything on my home to-do list, but that's because I underestimated how much time some of the tasks I undertook would take, not because I got tired or gave up. I kept going, and I have not had to pay for it. I paused at a decent time to have some dinner and took a reasonable amount of time to enjoy it, then stopped at a decent time (around 8:30-ish) to start work on a commission. All in all, it was a good evening, and I was so pleased with the success of will over wanting that I rewarded myself with a piece of honey pita (pita toasted with cinnamon and drizzled with clover honey) and didn't feel any guilt at not accomplishing everything on the list, or having a little treat. I was able to fall asleep easily, which is always a lovely thing for a life-long insomniac.
Today I shall resume this endeavor, focusing on the things I didn't get to yesterday, and adding some time for exercise and fun jewelry-making. I'll be seeing my future sister-in-law this weekend (Eric's brother's fiancee), and I'd like to have a little gift for her, a little congratulatory present, something that will "match" her engagement ring (white gold with pink diamonds). We shall see. I also need to wrap the bracelet I made for my soul-sis for her birthday. I've had it for a while, but I haven't wrapped it.
Four more sessions to teach this week; I'm looking forward to them. Two of them are straight "here's how to use the library in the context of an English 102 class," and one of my friends teaches the classes. Another of my friends is *in* one of them, so YAYZ. The other two are only focusing on plagiarism, one of my favorite topics to talk about, so that'll be good, too. Only thing? Two of the classes are 8am classes. Blech. But anything for Jerry (that's my friend who teaches)!
Anyway, I have some stuff to do. I just thought I'd share my little success from yesterday!
