It's not 11pm, but it could be worse. I've been going to bed at 3-4am.
Good night!

better hurry up - bedtime
I've been researching Windows XP slowdowns on the internet (one of my computers is just about useless). Since the virus and spyware scan came up clean, I think the problem is registry bloat. Tomorrow I'll clean the registry - too late now.
And speaking of late... I have to start my bedtime routine now if I want to be in bed by 11pm!!

I wonder how I turn off autocomplete in the Safari browser on the Mac. It's very annoying.
space problems
My apartment is very small (one room), and so I have some furniture that serve double duty. For example, I have a futon that serves both as a bed and a couch. This works from a functional standpoint, but it's a pain to convert it back and forth every day.
Another piece of convertible furniture I have is a table that folds in half length-wise. Usually it's in folded mode, and serves as my desk. But to sort receipts or do anything else that requires a table surface, I need to open it up. This involves moving the futon back, then moving the stuff on the table off (includes two notebook computers), and then opening the table. It's not that big a deal, but it's a little bit of a pain. Right now I need to do this in order to sort receipts for my accounting backlog, and I'm noticing I don't feel like doing it. But that's silly - it's not so bad. I will do it...
chocolate
I'm watching a show on the history of chocolate while I open mail and file receipts, and it's making me want some chocolate. :P

You could evacuate to here pro - I don't recall us ever having had a hurricane round here. The more I speak to people on the net, the more I wonder why Brits complain about the weather - we've got it pretty mild by comparison to many places.
I was impressed by the speed you got those books up for sale pro - you've only just got the new ones! No procrastination there :)

You did great today! :)
>I was impressed by the speed you got those books up for sale pro - you've only just got the new ones! No procrastination there.
I've got motivation. My apartment is overstuffed with books, and if I didn't get rid of some, the new ones I bought would be going on the floor. I've already got a stack of novels on the floor - I don't need any more books on the floor!!
I've thought about selling some of the novels, but I couldn't get as much for them as computer books. I could sell them as a lot on eBay.
I have some other stuff to sell on eBay that I have been procrastinating on - a camera that's a collector's item (I need to find out how much it's worth), some crystal wine glasses and crystal champagne flutes (not much use to me since I no longer drink!), and some computer hardware. I have no good reason for procrastinating on selling the glasses. I know what they're worth and I even have pictures of them already.
NYC hurricane evacuation
I like this - NYC is planning for highly unlikely events now. This is what Katrina inspired. I got a hurricane information thingie from the city with evacuation zones. I'm close enough to the tip of Manhattan to be in an evacuation zone (could be affected by storm surge, though highly unlikely). It doesn't say where to evacuate TO - just that I should evacuate.

Labor Day
I just realized that today is Labor Day (national holiday in the US), so no one will be expecting me to work. Yay!!!!!! What a relief. I feel I need another day for myself without external demands.

Did more CUOP :P
Phoned the venue but the person I need to speak to is not at her desk - bah
Need to get ready now. I ~was~ being productive, though that seems to have slowed down considerably! Need to get going again now!
Hope all's well at your end pro.
Good morning Pro!
And good afternoon, me!
I had a great time at the wedding - I don't think I've ever been to one that I've actually enjoyed before (apart from mine ;) ). Slept in late yesterday, then spent some time clearing up the aftermath (I used to be terrible at that sort of thing - now I like to get it out of the way as fast as I can), then I went out with a friend I haven't seen for months and we went blackberrying. Got home late, DSO cooked a meal, and we spent the evening together. I really like this business of having fun at weekends! I heartily recommend it! :D

Sounds like you're having a productive day. Big WTG!! And keep going!! :)
pro's CI - 9:55am EDT US
My morning routine has become enough of a habit now that I don't need to break it down and check in on each thing. The two things I need to leave on the list are "meditation and prayer" and "day planning". Maybe I'll move those over to the day plan.
I went to bed earlier last night than I have been, but I slept later because my body was making up for the previous lack of sleep. I didn't get up until almost 9am. But I showered last night so I got dressed quickly.
My one difficulty in dressing is my weight gain - clothes are starting not to fit. (Bad.) I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life. My eating isn't that different - I think it's because I'm getting older. I'm feeling a little freaked out about this. I really want to get back to my usual weight.
The only way I can think of to do this is to start exercising regularly. I joined a gym, but it's hard to figure out where to put that in my schedule - all the more so because the gym is a 20 minute walk (I can't afford the one on the corner). This makes getting there a problem in bad weather, and time consuming no matter what.
The stuff I blew off last week has to get done today. Breakfast is over, so I have to start now - can't sit here fooling around all day.
