Several years ago I was working with a counselor on my anxiety issues in an attempt to avoid medication. I made the mistake of allowing my husband to tag along to a few appointments, with the intent that he could help me remember to bring up some questions I had for the counselor & also help me remember the ideas she had for helping to control the situation & then help implement these changes at home.
To this day, about 8 years later, my (now ex) husband will not let me forget what the counselor had pointed out.
List making is an OCD tendency that I hold and that I am a control freak.
I love lists. I love making lists. I love them very very much. This is probably the reason I did so well in the Write on Illinois essay writing program we used in school. The essay was essentially just a fabulous list, in outline order ( I love outline order too!!).
Anyhow, lets fast forward to now. I haven't made many lists since I seperated from my (now ex) husband. (Maybe he was the cause of some areas in my OCD/anxiety ridden state????) But today I am sitting at my desk at the office. I am thinking about how maternity leave will go for my boss and I realize.......I get to make a list. Oh wait, not just one list, but a list of lists I can make. And then the lists themselves. Lists of things to be taken care of while I'm gone, for the boss and her brand new, untrained helper.
Oah My Goodness......today I am in heaven!!
