Doing Battle

For the last couple of months I've been lackadaisical about things that I should have paid a bit more attention to. I'm not sure why I didn't, but I just kind of got into a phase of denial and didn't want to deal with them. This is so unlike me but I became complacent and now I have problems to deal with.

Things just kind of built up to the point where they couldn't be ignored any longer and they were weighing heavy on my shoulders. Which I dutifully ignored while I plunged into an even deeper river of denial.

I am putting everyone on notice: I AM READY TO DO BATTLE.

I woke up this morning and apparently had a revelation over coffee and pancakes. I am letting people walk all over me. And I'm not fighting back. And I can't believe it's come to this. So, I am going to revert back to my old "get things done" persona so that I don't have to spend 3 more months avoiding my issues.

There are things that I've needed to do that I just haven't felt like dealing with: I need to make some adjustments to my 401K, I need to evict some tenants that haven't paid rent in 6 months, I need to do battle with my taxes, I need to seriously consider sending Mr. Little Man back to daycare and I need to de-clutter my house. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The short list of folks / entities that should probably avoid me in the coming days:
my child (if he doesn't clean his room), my boss, my brother, my tenants, the taxman (but only because I am feeling defensive) and the manufacturer of my vehicle.
