What are some things that you have trouble getting done with?

Learning french. Finishing my under grad degree. Parallel parking.

My boyfriend and I both despise going grocery shopping. It’s our most hated chore. We put it off until we don’t have food to eat, and then we order in for a night or two, and then finally we put on our big kid pants and go to the store. I don’t know why it’s such a challenge for us.

I dread the day that I move far enough from a urban center that driving becomes a necessity. I haven’t been behind the wheel in at least five years, and there has never been a point in my life when I’ve been able to drive without being utterly wracked with anxiety. I’ve had good public transport available to me for my whole adult life so it hasn’t been an issue yet. I’m secretly hoping that self-driving cars go mainstream before I ever have a need to suck it up and properly learn to drive.

Cleaning out clothes closets.

Years ago, when I was accused of arranging a troublesome call to a fellow employee’s wife, which got the employee in big trouble with his wife! I already had a guilt complex, and the thought that everyone I worked with thought I was the guilty party drove me over the edge.
I can’t even lie to myself, it’s so bad!

Taxes, resumes, autobiographical statements, job applications, and other tasks I dread doing or am not sure how to proceed with.

@Mariah, I enjoy both driving and grocery store shoppimg. Those are 2 of my zen states. What can I pick up for you?

House cleaning,I put it off till the very end.

I have trouble not ending sentences with prepositions.

Apparently, trying to get people to stop ending their sentences with prepositions.

Tying knots! I know one knot – a taut line hitch or tent knot. Everything else is a mess that cannot be untied without a big effort – or a knife.

I figure I am “knot-challenged”.

It’s not a crime to use a preposition at the end of the sentence.. here’s why

Letting go of some long-term, deep-seated grudges and resentments for people who have treated me badly. I like to hope that I’m good about forgiving, and moving on, if someone’s genuinely contrite and apologizes. If I don’t get that closure, though, the feelings linger. I know that such things are heavy baggage that only hurt the bearer. I’m unable, however, to adjust emotions as if they were water taps.

Projects. Right now I don’t have a working kitchen, and it’s taking way too long to change that. There are still pictures to hang and things to put away from my move, nine months ago.

I know I’m pretty busy most days, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing with my time.

Sigh. I am such a hopeless fucking procastinator that I require intervention or therapy.

@yesitszen You and I should kick each other’s rumps. I have projects I started LAST summer that I promised myself I would have done by the end of THIS summer and they are right there, staring at me, unfinished.

@imrainmaker, good link!

After being run down in a crosswalk, certain things are no longer cinchy for me, or undoable altogether.

I struggle with forms. Depending on the format, I will either need lots of time and a few breaks to complete, or just have someone read it aloud to me and fill in the answer I give.

I can no longer get a mental image of locations, and so distance also becomes a challenge for me. Any blocks I can’t get a mental image from some landmark, don’t exist for me. What seems like six blocks in my mind could actually be three miles.

@pattycakes @iamrainydays… that link is hysterical…

“Who should I give a high five to?” may be a “correct” informal use of a preposition at the end of a sentence… but who the fuck asks that question. You mean, you walk around wondering to whom you should give a ^5?

Trying to convince people why voting is so important, not just for that one person, but for all of us.
