I’ve been slipping again lately, so I’m making a concentrated effort to stop procrastinating.

I seem to spend half my life not able to do things and the other half putting them off.  So no more!

So far in the last week I’ve completely reinstalled my blog and all the plug-ins and it’s running much faster with a nice clean database, so it was worth the effort.

I’m still slowly cataloguing my DVD collection.  The database is all set up, but I’ve still got all the covers to scan and the details to check, but I’m going slow and steady with that one.

I spent a couple of days setting up a spreadsheet for all the household accounts.  It took the best part of two days, I’m so rusty with spreadsheets, and they were never my strong suit to begin with, but at least I can keep track of everything easily now.  Although it seems I get a lovely present of the receipts every couple of days.  I set it up and I’m expected to do it all. *sigh*

I’ve finally started my eye exercises.  I got up the other day and decided I was sick of wearing glasses, I keep having allergy reactions to the contact lens cleaners, so I figured enough was enough.  I’ve started on an exercise program from the American Vision Institute, which does seem to help.  I had a little try a couple of years ago and found my vision improved, but I never stuck with it.

I’m at the opticians for an eye test next week, so I’m determined to do all the exercises daily and see if it makes a difference.  So far so good, I’ve done it for two days and already things seem slightly less blurry.  I’m not ready to ditch the glasses just yet, but on Tuesday I couldn’t see the keyboard without my glasses, today I can.  I can also just about make out the computer screen, so I’m nicely on track

I want to start on an exercise program too, I’ve had the CFS for over 11 years now, but I’ve never felt quite as sickly and unhealthy as I have the past few months.

I know bad joints and no energy is a valid excuse, but I’ve just never been much of an exercise fanatic at the best of times.  I’ve always been on the go before, so I’ve never really needed to “keep-fit”, but I just can’t really be bothered with all that grunting, panting and sweating which seems to go hand-in-hand with exercise.

Still I’m keeping that as the next big “to-do” on my list.  The more gentle things like Pilates, Yoga and the likes appeal to me, so I’ve just got to set up my pilates machine and get into the habit of using it.

It’s strange, I do so little, yet never seem to have any spare time because I have no schedule of any kind, yet people who work full time and have children still seem to manage to get so many other things done, it’s quite shameful really.

I gave in and cut my hair yesterday too, I figured since my scalp is still flaking there’s no point in waiting to see if it’s cleared up by next week to get a haircut, so I just did it myself with the clippers again.  It looks OK, if a bit short, but it saved me £20, sit it’s not all bad

And tomorrow I need to get caught up on all my journal reading, I’ve been getting behind on everyone’s blogs lately too.

At least this new twitter thing is helping me keep track of the little things that are worth mentioning.
