My IEP

Ok, I tried the blackboard checklist (only one item to start with, so more like a sign than checklist), per Erin's whiteboard example. & for 1) It was nice to get my old notes down! Felt like a Procrasti-killing act. & for 2) I actually did it. (Sorted my laundry after 2 months of Procrasti, and ultimately resorting to bathing suit bottoms for undies.) & for 3) It's nice to have a conversation with myself that way. (I wrote coaxing words on the sign. & instead of a check mark, I wrote Thank You India for some reason.) I've been trying to have frequenter intimate exchanges with myself- extending kindness instead of always the hustle & bustle business relationship. -Did you do the dishes? -No, I didn't have time... -Fine. I'll do them. (That's the stuff of a bad marriage. And I want to embody LOVE. Within. And spilling out.) I even had a date with myselves in the park today. We had a good talk. So, point being, Blackboard Phase 1 a success. I think I'll keep the items under 3 for now, though. Like an IEP. (An Independent Learning Plan is what the special kids get, y'know.) We'll see how that comes and goes.
