August always seems to have this power over me…power to piss me off, make me sweat and get me off my schedule.  We fucking hate August and we’re so very thankful that tomorrow is the last day of this pisstastic month!

I don’t know if it’s the heat, if I’m just over summer by the time August rolls around, if it’s because I get a year older this month or what, but it seems that I get into this weird zone where I’m doing stuff and I’m productive but not as much as I could be.  I’ve been lacking on the blogging front, on flickring, on cooking, packing for the move, exercising, gaming (though we did just get Tiger Woods ‘08 and well I might have gamed a little bit over the last two days), checking on the house progress, knocking off shit on our to-do list and in general, sticking to any sort of plan or schedule. 

I’ve talked a lot about staying on plan and being productive.  And I can clearly see that when I don’t stay on, things like cooking healthy meals and blogging and exercising and all that other stuff, doesn’t get done the way it should get done and than I feel overwhelmed and frustrated.  Followed by lots of “where do I start”?

It’s not about “where do I start”, it’s all about just doing it.  Jumping right back in and getting shit done.  I’m not going to beat myself up because August wasn’t spectacularly on-schedule.  But I am going to make damn sure September is because I have big things happening in the next month and my “August Attitude” will surely not do.
