major task
Got the stuff to the accountant - now to put back in the proper file all the stuff I drug out to find the stuff I needed - way too easy just to throw it on the table and deal with it another day - BUT I will tend to it after this post.
I tend to keep myself busy to other tasks that doing that tasks that need to be done or at least the ones I think need to be accomplished.
Before the day is through I will tackle my impossible table, which is 3/4 finished - something about the last of anything I tend to avoid.

Hi!
If the weekend will be All About Goofing Off, I'm ready! :)
Oops, that's why I'm here!! lol
OK, maybe a teeny bit of goofing off and a teeny bit of chores :)
Today with my landlord's approval, a locksmith came & traded out the Front Door Handle, lock, & deadbolt. OK, so this sequence took 2 months to accomplish; however, it is done! Yay! :) Time delay = another illustration of why I'm here. Next week: turn in receipts & 2 duplicate keys to landlord as requested.
Today: gym, treadmill, stretched, work, locksmith, work, drove home, cooked dinner.
Now: puttering to be ready for weekend :) I can run the clothes washer, brush teeth, & read recovery literature.
Can I run the dishwasher, floss teeth, & put away clothes? We'll see what happens in reality!!! :)
Have a great night, everyone! :)

Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)

today - major task
I have to get a prior year's tax return to my accountant today - I need to file an amended return - I should have called him on Monday and didn't get it done until yesterday. I have an hour to get find the stuff - I don't know why I just didn't do it yesterday when I spoke with him on the phone.
I will save a couple grand with the refile - I should have dealt with this last year - :((:
I have ALWAYS been this way.

tax stuff is an issue for MANY of us! Good luck!

Never too late to get back on the wagon
Sooo, it's 4:40 pm now, had a fairly productive morning, but it didn't make it past lunch.
Now I'm left with two, no, three tasks, and can't choose between them. I wanted to keep my evening free but now I feel like I wasted the afternoon so I should catch up.
The weather is so nice today, I really would like to enjoy it. SO:
Yesterday was a day of almost zero productivity. I got caught up in playing Settlers VI, which is one of those game that can last hours, which it did. I made it my choice to allow myself to play it for as long as I wanted that day. I guess that was what makes it possible for me to not feel bad about it, and not having the urge to play it now.
All right, I'm going to work on S for 1 hour, then go out for walk + get dinner, then check back for next tasks.
WDV - 8:42 pm
Ok, had nice walk + dinner. Feeling ready for some hours of work this evening.
Go out for walk while still sunnyI'm going to continue work on S, and prepare tomorrow's hiking. Check back at 11pm CEST.
WDV CI - 10:55pm
Wow, finished with 5 minutes to spare :). Now I'm going to plan my hike tomorrow, then game till 12. Expect a checkout from me then!
WDV CO - 11:59pm
End of day check out. Worked quite a bit on S, I'm satisfied with that. Avoided working on report, also because I found out I have about 2 more days than I thought.
I just finished planning my hike. Had some time to spare to game but didn't, because I don't want to sleep late. A victory, because I used to be unable to resist the temptation even for just 10 minutes, which would lead to hours of uncontrolled gaming.
Good luck with the rest of the day everyone!

Ok, must-stop-now, despite annoying markup-errors I want to get fixed.
Plan is to get food and clear head now, before chance has passed (i.e. I get hungry, store closes, sun sets).

pro's CI - 9:20am
I'm back from the gym. I got a decent amount of sleep last night and I ate breakfast before going. My trainer said I was much stronger today. Maybe this means I should sleep and eat?
I need to shower and dress now before the plumber, handyman, and exterminator get here. All else can wait.

Hi folks. I hope you all have a good day today. There's one tedious but important job on my program--one which I only have one chance at, and a screw-up will lose time and money. Other than that, there's not much new. Oh yeah, my grass is starting to scream for attention.

I realized I made a mistake in my budget for this month. Not in my favor, of course. So I just recalculated . . . it's still not pretty but it's ok and it's done. Facing it and doing something about it is actually less stressful than just worrying about it and doing nothing. Who woulda thunk it? lol.
My MITs are done and I'm starting on my OPM project now, and will work on that until lunchtime.
See you noonish

kromer 12:30 CI
Made pretty good, focused progress on my senior thesis stuff this morning, went to biochem, had a healthy lunch.
I'm going to check on my running calculations, look up 15 proteins with connections to CREBBP, pre-process one of the estrogen response datasets, and look at the MoD results on liver if they're done.
Then I need to do my econ pset (due at 5), so I'll work on that.
I'll work in the chatbox with my internet blocker *on* while I'm doing the senior thesis stuff, then I'll print out the econ pset and work *away* from the computer.

Finished the above senior thesis goals, now going to do my econ pset, needs to be done in 3 hrs, I'd like to get it done in 2 if possible.

Stalling
Thinking of taking that shower, making a cup of strong coffee and then getting back to my paper. I just have two questions left - one translation and the other a short writing essay, but I need to wake up. I think the shower and coffee will help. Will be back in a bit and finish my paper. Shouldn't have watched TV =/
