I’m done being pissed off at the world – I’m done being pissed off that I’m not getting paid by ANYONE!
So, I’m going to spend the week decluttering my life – starting with my bedroom and moving downward…
Here is my list for the week:
* Clean bedroom from top to bottom including blinds, under the bed, the closets, everything!
* Sort shit to sell on craigslist and ebay
* Get together clothes for goodwill
* Clean out my sons room of all the older toys he never plays with
* Go through my bathroom and throw out all items that are old, expired, stuff I don’t use, etc.
* Clean out my refrigerator
* Throw away all spices that are expired and clean out my pantry and give what I won’t eat to food bank
* Clean out washing machine closet that has more crap in it then I care to think about
* Clean out front closet and sort through stuff I don’t need anymore
* Steam clean carpets and furniture
* Give my cat a bath (that in itself is like a days worth of work!)
Then for my career which I am determined to get together here:
* Using a very special ebook written by Jen I’m going to outline my entire book and then put together a kick ass proposal to send off to an editor that Terry hooked me up with.
* Write query letters with above stated proposal for shortened magazine versions
* Write bullshit type articles to get some money for groceries
* Get small claims filing forms from Maryland so that I can sue that bitch’s ass
* Write demand letters for 3 other clients who have just decided that they weren’t going to pay me
For my health:
* Get my treadmill cleaned off and ready to roll
* Get all my exercise videos, balls, weights, and stretching things together and start exercising
As you can see, I am not going away for a few days which makes me so incredibly sad. SO SO SO SO sad… Because I am now short $525 from clients who don’t think they actually need to pay me so I don’t have the gas to even get there. I can’t tell you how much I have needed to get away. First Michigan then this. I could cry actually with the thought that I cannot just leave this house and head off anywhere. I haven’t canceled my reservations yet, but considering that I am supposed to leave Tuesday morning to head to the mountains I think I’m going to have to do it tomorrow unless by some act of God that at least 2 of the 4 clients pay me tomorrow… yeah right.
So, I have a plan now and I think I’m going to get a lot of cluttering done. With my house decluttered and my plan of action on my book being put together I can feel a lot more at peace with myself and my life.
I have started reading “The Secret” on the recommendation of two blog friends so hopefully with my new positive attitude and my lack of clutter in my life will get me headed in the right direction again. YAY me! See the positive attitude already? I’m not even bitching because of all the shit I have to do this week! LOL.





De cluttering is a good start. Sorta like baggage. Thats a lot to keep you busy! I have a lot of faith in the secret, whatever it takes to give you a positive outlook, and focus on what you do have. it really does help. and the more you do it the easier it gets!
Great start for you! Now, just keep it up.
Thoughts become things! Make them good ones!
Decluttering is so freeing. I have been slowly working my way from room to room her also.
You will feel so good after you see the progress, I love organizing:)
I still hope someone will pay you so you can get away
