Greetings my FabulouslyGraceless folks!
Today has been quite high on the “how much of my stuff did I really get done today” meter!
I am a “bit” OCD and always have a jillion things to do but can somehow manage to get through a whole day with the feeling of nothing accomplished! Anyone else like that?!
So I started back on my “daily lists”.
I fully admit I have a post it note and notebook problem. I have them everywhere and can’t find one when I need it because someone (most likely my offspring or maybe even my other personality) moved it. Then I loose my mind for a few minutes, calm down and move on to that scrap of paper I found under the seat or in my purse. I keep pens and crayons on me at all times so I can write somehow! Oops I digressed a bit so back to my “topic”…
I make a List of Everything I can think of I need to get done. It’s always intimidating trust me! From go to the post office, check accounts, pick up items boy child needs, grocery, blog, bills – yes it gets overwhelming! *girl if you’re reading this I just put “go to the post office” on list for tomorrow!
The I make sub-list and from that a sub-sub list. At this point I wonder, does the person reading this think I am crazy or can they totally relate?! Because I also have colored tabs for different subjects (home, work, kid, other work, bills, etc.) – I said I was OCD! It’s not a bad thing to be organized!!
I have always worked the full time job since I graduated from high school. Only briefly in the last 25 plus years have I not received a “regular” paycheck. That is until recently when I was laid off. Of course I am getting an income, a tiny one, and I am working to make it better trust me. I’m not high maintenance (hehehe in my humble opinion) but I have standards!
So now we have a work ethic and “schedule” of over 25 years in the making and no concrete day to day job to go to with one very OCD mama who needs that structure in her life! Desperately! For her own sanity!
I decided to “take the reigns” so to speak and get my life back on track and I am happy to report that today I got the Big List started and several of the sub & sub subs done – go me! I even was able to scratch off “complete”! *Celebrate! Holiday! Oh yeah! **another one of my little “endearing qualities” is I have random moments of happy dances and bits of songs in my head that I just let out for no reason…. welcome to my mind!
All of this means that I am happy in my soul and I am keeping hope alive that my next “job” is what I want to do and can support me and my boy. (*note: I am in no means destitute, I am fortunate to have a wonderful family and fabulous friends who help me out and I help them back! My mama is the best so I’m just throwing that out there because without my mama, my dreams of following my dreams of writing for a living would not be happening right now! Ahhhh tender moment!)
Did I mention I have on my robe and no make up cause that’s how I am rockin’ it – getting in done in comfort and my own style! Dreams do come true!
I hope you all have had a fabulous gracelessness Thursday!

I do not know whether it’s just me or if everyone
else experiencing issues with your blog. It appears like some of the written text on your content are running
off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this
happen previously. Many thanks

Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m
new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any coding expertise to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

WordPress no coding, just a girl trying to figure out the dashboard and all the bells and whistles WP offers!
I generally write in word and copy and past into WP.
Good luck!

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had
a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
before writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!

I write all of the time. I even use the notes app on my phone to start ideas and go from there.
I also hand write, archaic I know, but it works for me.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
