Saturday, 28 February 2009.  The kitchen stool @ 0640

Waiting for the kettle to boil.  Alone as usual.  After shitting.  I often start the day in a shitting humour.

I had a poor night’s sleep - kept awake by a bloated tummy.  I ate too much, too much fatty foods - crisps, cheese, icecream - I drank too much red wine, good stuff - and not half enough water.

I must email Jan again & tell her I got back the calender, returned to sender, and I wonder if she got the book I sent her.

I have so much to do.  I will focus on finishing things off.

No more new things.

Substitute for Allan Cuthbert  [making a cup of tea]

All the Barry’s tea is almost gone.  Actually it was Supervalu tea…

I’m doing an awful lot.  I must be careful.

When I know I’m stretched, what do I do?

My Relapse Prevention Plan:  that’s the most important thing I need to finish off

- more than the pitch to publishers

- more than Irish blogging

More than all.

I’ll work on it today - Saturday.  I’ll send Garry the photos

And I went to bed too late.  I sat there at the laptop, killing time when I could have been in bed.

Listowel

I need to earn money.  I need to face up to Bord Gais, and my car, and my teeth , and the holiday…

Lists, lists, lists.

I have a full life.

What am I not doing?  Answer: the Gym.

I’ve had a re-think and decided to drop the Alphabet Marathon idea.  I’ll contact him and tell him…

If you send me material for the WWW.ie - Writing from Cork, I’ll put it up. But I won’t write content…

I’ll withdraw from as many things as I can while I am in control of it.

I’ll not wait until I fall over and have withdrawal forced on me.

Withdraw:  (1) Alphabet Marathon  (2)  IMA

Let it go…

Let it be…

Make room

Get a grip on my office - so that again, if anything were to happen to me, my affairs would be in order.

 

Delete

Park

Dump…

Go back to basics:

(1) the daily page(s)

(2) daily exercise   daily gym

(3) sleep well

(4) earn money

(5) fun

(6) Tidy up.
