So far behind...

Yes I procrastinate...a lot...
So here I am 12 days behind. I am going to be kind to myself and not start the self criticism that always follows my procrastination. How's that for an AOK for me? So here's what I've been doing for the past week and 5 days.
December 2-Payday for me! I'm only working a few hours a week right now and this check will be gone before you know it. On paydays, I treat myself to lunch at McD's. So that was my AOK. Dropped some change in the Salvation Army bucket after grocery shopping for my AOK for others.
December 3-Thank God it's Friday. Visited G&C (the elderly couple my sister and I see) today. Apparently, they love us both and let their daughter know how much our visits mean to them. It makes me reflect on what small acts of kindness can do. I also feel a little guilty getting so much back for such a small amount of time. I'm  counting this visit as an AOK for me and for others!
December 4-AOK for me- hot cocoa with whipped cream! AOK for others: bought one for my daughter, too!
December 5-Stopped by to visit my sister at the pub for my AOK. Cleaned out the nasty computer keyboard for my hubby for my AOK for others.
December 6-I think I'm going to start calling this Meditation Monday! Sat quietly for 5 minutes and just concentrated on my breathing. It's amazing how much better I feel just from deep breathing. For my AOK for others, I said a prayer for all those who are having difficulty facing this holiday season.
December 7-Sent birthday wishes to my nephew! Can't believe he's 23 already. For me, started a new book and took a 30 minute reading break.
December 8-Saw my friend Naomi today. Ran some errands for her; grocery store and post office. For me, a new pair of stretchy gloves at the dollar store.
December 9-For me, found my Christmas songs CD and played it all the way to work. I absolutely love Joan Osborne's version of Children Go Where I Send Thee. For others, complimented a colleague on how what a great job she does each day.
December 10: Job interview today for some more part time work. It would be nice to work for this agency, I got a very nice vibe from the people there. It makes such a difference when you work with kind people. For my AOK today, I took another reading break. For others, I sent out Christmas cards to 25 people.
December 11-Cleaning house and shopping day! Having guests so I better get the house in order. My sister and law and husband needed some kid free shopping time so we're entertaining my nephews tonight. For myself, a solo shopping trip early in the day to pick up some more presents.
December 12-Movie day. For my AOK for others, I'm giving hubby a break to have dinner with his sister while I take the kids to see Megamind. For me, a visit to my secret stash of Hershey kisses with almonds.
December 13-For me, read through my new magazines before the seasons change! For others, dog watching for my sister while she's out of town.
December 14-Home today with a sick kiddo. For me, some extra reading time! For others, I'll be visiting freeflour.com
