My old thread has been locked. I need to respond to some posts on that thread this evening.
This is a new thread with a new theme. I want balance. I want to minimize angst. I want a non-platonic R someday (there I said it!). I want to feel better about work and always being behind.
All this involves battling this perfection thing!!!!
My C told me a long time ago that the standard is GOOD ENOUGH!
I need to work on being good enough. Which necessarily involves facing the possibility of disappointing - sigh..another one of my demons - people pleasing....
Sigh....I need an easier goal - seeking a yacht on the Mediterranean complete with a chef, a masseuse, and a yoga instructor.
I am still working through a backlog of work. And at times I am paralyzed by the need to generate "perfect" work and knowing that I am missing non-legal deadlines which is not fatal but is also "not perfect."
My cats are gloriously happy with the nice weather. The male cats are engaging in nocturnal killing rampages.... I really hate cleaning up the presents they bring home and display on my patio. It is really icky. On a happier note, my weeping cherry is blooming and looks beaoooootiful! And my gnawed down to the ground variegated forsytia has a few new leaves - so it is alive! AND my daffodils have pushed up through between a gap created by overlapping landscape fabric. I will have to cut them free so they can bloom! A very nice little surprise!
No need here. My delusion does very well in keeping me happy thus no help is required. In the most technical of all forums (Star Trek) they called it alternate reality.
We do hope you find your R but do not forget to use your cats as a guide.

A pina colada margarita!! What an interesting drink? I am going to have my bartender on my yacht tend to that one! LOL! Oh very cute bartender please make Ms. Cat03 a pina colada margarita.
What's in it - rum and tequila - coconut and lime? So very confusing!

are you one of those people who have a hard time saying no? well, you should try practicing it, say it with me: " N - O "
Yes... It is one those things I am working on... At least my default answer is no longer YES... But it still causes angst...
