Recon Work: Not So Bad

 So, yesterday I finally took about 15 - 20 minutes and did my recon work.  It may not have been as in-depth as I had originally intended, but it got a lot!!  It wasn't as bad or painful as I honestly thought it would be.  It is actually more painful to sit and have the messy house staring at me as I try to accomplish something, than it was to sit and itemize what really needed to be done.  Don't get me wrong, there is plenty to do!!  The list was just not as long as I expected it to be, what a Relief!!  

Now comes the hard part!! Waging war on my enemy!! :-).  I will have to be sneaky and pick one agent (mess) off at a time.   I won't be able to get every agent taken care of in one day, and intellectually I understand that, but emotionally it is a different story!!  For some unknown, illogical reason, when I go to start, I somehow think that I will be able to quickly get through it.  That the agent won't put up any defenses or fight back. In a perfect world I am sure that that would be true, but as I don't live in a perfect world (shocking I know), things rarely go as I plan, and that is when the emotional battle begins. 

The hardest part if the up-coming war is going to be PATIENCE.  Patience with myself, with my enemy, and with the delays that always seem to come.  I am going to have to fight hard to keep the discouragement (one of my enemies strongest defenses) at bay.  

Wish me luck!! (I have a feeling I am going to need it.)
