Today I essentially forced myself to register for fall courses...it will be four in all.  The underlying logic was that I wait much longer, I won't get the draw that I want.  Technically I didn't...a problem with my transcript meant I couldn't register for a litigation course I wanted to take, but then I remembered that I needed to take business law anyway.  So I made the switch to buy time to unbury that snafu...I'll worry about the litigation course in the spring.
I also registered for the college algebra course that I'm just totally dreading...I fortunately was able to find a Friday morning home for it so it meets only once a week (bad) but buys time to find help somehow (good)...although I very much fear that I will have to use unconventional means to get the help I'll need.
One good thing that happened last night: I found out that I'm not the only one who is having a problem with self-control issues.  This is heartening because it has felt to me like I'm the only one.  So which outs would be safe for me?  I can't say I know for sure other than I like brainy stuff.  Right now the only out that's working for me is playing at Lexulous.com, where I play matches by e-mail...and the way it's set up allows me to make only one move per game per login without having to click something else...which is stopper enough to help control that.
The discovery was enough to help me sleep through the night for once, so today I'm finally back at yellow again...although just like last time it's a very fragile yellow.  But I'll take it.
