Reward Me!
I want the gold star AND the pony for doing what is expected.
What did I do today? What? Are you kidding?!
Not only did I help with the laundry — while keeping a close eye on the work emails — but I also put away all the pans and bowls from my partner’s grand homemade granola-making extravaganza and made the bed. It gets better. I took out the trash. I even added another set of push-me-pull-me’s to my twice-daily stretching and exercise routines. Put in 20 minutes on the stationary bike too.
All this plus I didn’t pick up a drink (of alcohol) or a self-prescribed mood-changing drug again today! AleXander’s excellent granola doesn’t count.
Wait. I’m not done.
I’ve meditated. Showered and clipped my toenails. Got a journal entry in. Ran the vacuum. Checked in with a friend who’s stranded in Rhode Island after a bad car accident. Updated other friends on his situation. Plus I started work on a new story (the one you’re reading right this minute) as well as doing the usual promotional song and dance on social media.
Oh, right, and I’ve also trotted up to the sixth floor and down to the fourth floor to knock on doors, getting signatures on the letter that is ostensibly going to be presented to the mysterious owners of this building by the management company…
