Day 57 -- The routine is still not routine

After lab work took longer than anticipated, I was glad that the appointment with Matt had to be moved to Friday.  So I caught up on the SHARE projects -- including getting the FAQ written and arrangements made for editing.
Had a good, long conversation with Betty about how John is doing.  A little scary -- the shoulder fix is good -- except it is causing his heart stability to get a little cranky.  Betty is wearing herself out, trying to take care of John, and ensure that the hospital staff is staying aware of the TWO issues at hand.  And on top of all that, Betty insisted she be called upon to help with the Couples Club event next week.
Still have times when I look at what needs to be done, and put off starting.  Not sure what I am waiting for.  Maybe the fairy godmother will come swooping in and get it done for me.  Marcia is in process of contacting a professional organizer to help me with this process.  I'm looking forward to hearing from her.  Marcia is also going to send me a book that might be helpful in getting my motivation mobilized.  The hard part, for me, is getting things done that I am the only one who will know something was done.  What's hard is that there is the missing element of Margaret noticing and affirming my effort with our joint celebration of marking an item off the priority list. (The sadness that came with that last sentence was a nice reminder that I can miss Margaret and still get on with my life.  worked a little bit on the Father's Day slide show.  Still have not diagnosed the problem.  Maybe Lee and I can get it figured out Friday when we add the backup unit to my computer.
Will be interesting to see how many times I can arranged to be overwhelmed tomorrow.  There is nothing on the schedule.  Lee returned my call but I had the TV in my ears and didn't hear the ring.  I think I am going to have to ensure the iPhone is connected to my ears before I put the TV in there -- don't really hear anything else when I have that equipment running.
