Feeling sick – Feeling a little out of control!

December 20, 2009 by Nikki 

I am going on my second day of being sick.. It is only a cold, but it still keeps me from doing what I need to do before the upcoming Christmas Celebration!  What I am feeling is a lack of control!  Something I am not comfortable with… So much to do and no energy to do it!

Being sick really puts a damper on things.  For me-  the world stops!  (I watch reruns of Friends and Everyone Loves Raymond!) Luckily I have a great husband who will pick up the duties of the kids and dinner, granted it was pizza, but I didn’t have to go get it!

Yesterday I made the mistake of taking Nighttime Tylenol medicine in the morning!  Of course I did not realize this until it was time to go to bed and I was looking for the nighttime medicine and found what I had taken earlier!  Ooops…. No wonder I slept so much yesterday!!

OK, so today, I am feeling a bit better and I have my medicines corrected!  Although I still do not have a ton of energy, I was thinking of ways that I could feel better about all of this sickness stuff… So what I decided to do is a write a Master To Do List... Of everything I want to accomplish between now and New Years Day… I love lists! They help me organize my thoughts, my priorities, and I can visually see what has to happen!    

If I am realistic in my list and write it all down, I will have more control of this situation!  I may not get it all done, but at least I have a place to check off the things I do accomplish, and feel good about that!  I think just getting it on paper rather than in my head will really clarify my goals and prioritize!

And hey… look I can check off – Write Next Blog Post!  I would say that is a good start!

Happy Organizing!
