AllOfTheAbove, wed. march 7th, 2:40 pm

Hy, my friends:

Has been blast the last days. I haven't stopped in a good measure but I still have many, many things to fix; for example, yesterday I got 20 mins late for work, new work :D, but I can't do that anymore. So I decide to cut it straight.

Also, I have problems with organization and although almost everything I do now can be classified as "important" and "worth life - doing", I still find myself running to meet my new schedule.

 

Love to everyone here. We understand this vice and that MEANS a LOT.

 

Today, I:

- Will work on online course.

- Will give class to O.

- Will Face That Monster.

 

Fear is only a thought and as a thought you can ignore it.

Wow, Agnus, thank you!
That's an easy idea -- but one I hadn't thought of.

Agnus late ci

Stayed up too late three nights in a row now...last night it wasn't electronics but J having a late and needy night. So far today I have done prayer time, sponsor/sponsee calls, mind-mapping, meal prep, pet care, researched discounts at the university vet school and booked appointments, cleaned up some email, and begun work on Proj W. Today I also want to:

Spend 20 mins reviewing Proj W and book next steps
Begin voicework project (microburst starting with checking the filenames, printing, etc)
Book massage, haircut, nails for tomorrow afternoon

ADDED: Edit a paper for Proj R last minute request
Begin KC report (microburst with finding the folder, opening a template, etc)
Write report for ProjB and send to trigger payment (make sure DM is clear on invoice)
File expenses for last Proj R&C trips
File expenses for any other ODCs
Find folder for this weekend's trip, or print everything again (ugh)
Plan what to pack (need to do laundry first?)
Walk doggie @ 5.30
Eat dinner @ 6:15
Frown(bummer, didn't circle back around to this in time to act on it) Find a phone meeting that ends before 7 (for integrity: I committed 3/wk last Wed)
Attend 7:30 meeting, report honestly on my commitments
Relax - no electronics after 9!  If feel compelled to "look something up" after 9pm, I will write it down and leave it on my desk for morning.
Bedtime: shower, meds, mouth, pleasant reading, sleep by 10:30 with God's help!
