Thanks so much to everyone for your lovely comments: they helped me snap out of my la-la attack much sooner than I would have otherwise.
I need to wriggle out from under this feeling of being overwhelmed and overcommitted. I need to FOCUS. Clearly I need to make a LIST! That’s it! A list will save me! So what's coming up, and what do I really need to do?
CHRISTMAS
Refrain from berating myself for not being as prepared as usual
Reread 'Unplug the Christmas machine'.
Buy loads of plastic baubles so I can have a beautiful tree that Noddie can enjoy without my precious ornaments being wrecked.
Have house-decorating party on Saturday, even if it’s just me and Noddie.
Play lots of Christmas carols all the time mwahahaha
Gloat that all my shopping is done
Think about whether I want to wear my tacky festive earrings this year.
BLOGGER'S DINNER this Saturday night
Resist wimping out because of feelings of shyness
Find something to wear!!! Eeek!
Remember I can’t drink myself confident because of….
SUSSAN 10km this Sunday morning
Refrain from berating myself because I haven't trained as much as I'd planned.
Try not to worry too much that I am running like a 3-toed sloth at the moment and my achilles seems to be playing up a bit.
Pack bag on Saturday.
Set alarm clock.
Try not to be too disappointed if I don’t PB.
BARBECUE W/ J'S FRIENDS this Sunday afternoon
Plan what to eat beforehand.
Drink light beer because I have to train tomorrow
TRIATHLON Sunday week
Refrain from berating myself because I haven't trained as much as I'd planned
Panicking is for my diva-esque friend M. Cheerful and stoic is the LBTEPA way (stop laughing!). I've been DFL* before.
Remember this is a practice for January and March.
MY BIRTHDAY
Don't fail to organise a surfing weekend because of feelings of shyness/unworthiness.
Book motel with spa (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
That's a good list. I can do that.
More anon, chaps

So totally do-able!
Are you going to tell us which number birthday this is? LOL!
Sounds like an adventure. You will be wonderful! Hope you had a great weekend!!
Dont you dare wimp out on Saturday night, and wear whatever.. I think Josh & I are also having a house decorating party on Saturday.. *note to self - buy some decorations*.
a "blogger's dinner"? how cool!! I would be SO nervous too!, but you will walk away from it being glad you went! :o) oh, and take pictures!
"Unplug the Christmas machine"! I'm a Chrisco girl myself. It means I get to avoid the supermarket at Christmas time (in fact, most of December!!!) and if there is one thing that increases stress, it's the supermarket! Of course up this way in the middle of NOWHERE we don't get the Chrisco delivered - we get to pick it up from a truck depot! Mind you, now I've got this whole diet thing under control what will I do with all the lollies?
(I've just had to re-post this - I hope it doesn't come up twice!)
