I'm not going to be able to do any more work today. It's time to get ready for bed.
Arguably, fixing the bug in my program and checking PayPal receipts was not the highest priority thing on my list, but I'm still glad I did it. It's been bugging me.

Monica's CI 10 pm EST
I'm extremely tired. So I'm off to bed. I didn't cook dinner, do laundry or help son with homework but I felt I had a pretty productive day. If I hadn't gotten sick this afternoon, I think I would have completed everything on my list done. The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. I hope to do better tomorrow. Everyone have a goodnight.

Lark's 5:50 pm CI
I'm having a pretty good day, despite a flare up of laziness and a good jolt of demand resitance. The main projest is actually doing okay. There are some things that aren't perfect, but it'll never get finished if I keep striving for perfection. If I can find a good stopping point, AND do some cleanup, I'm going to visit some friends tonight (and maybe reward myself with ice cream).

found the bug
I found the bug in my business site script. Now I need to fix it.
fixed (finally)
The bug was a timing problem, not a logic problem. It took me hours to figure this out. The fix was to simply put a delay in the program under certain conditions. I can't fully test the solution, but I'm as sure as I can be that this fixes it.
Now it's late, and I can't do much else tonight except get ready for bed. But at least I fixed this problem, which I'd been procrastinating on for a while. I also cleared out the PayPal notifications (checked everything).
finding the bug versus fixing the bug
I know what's causing the bug now (in a general sense), but fixing it is not like falling off a log. It's like brain surgery to get into this program and tweak the bad code without breaking everything else. Still looking...

If nothing else, this to-do list is helpful because when I look at it I remember I forgot to take my pills. So I'll take some pills now, after I post this.

on the other hand...
I've been ignoring quite a few things - my back accounting being just one - and I think right now I'm going to catch up on something else related to my business. There are a couple of glitches with the system that customers periodically complain about. I need to fix them. I'm also a bit behind in my accounting for that, too.
10:00 am CI for Lark
Sort of a late start today. No phone calls, and it's raining. Today I'm taking care of loose ends.If I can find someone to help move things, my big project could be finished. I thought I'd check in before doing anything, and then check in during breaks through the day for a few moments.
To Do:
morning things
clean out fridge
house cleanup
empty cabinet, put things somewhere else or in trash
work as much as possible on main project
try to contact "mystery client"
just put things where they belong in workshop
call another client for scheduling
take "loose ends" inventory and start on some
Monica's CI - 10:10 am EST
Starting something new today: I consistently wait until the last minute to plan my daughter’s birthday in February and doing so is always a terrible strain on the family. Her last two birthday celebrations were a disaster simply because I failed to plan and couldn’t pull off anything that looked or felt like a celebration. This year I’d like to do things differently. So today, I am going to use a little time on the Internet to search for ideas for her party. I want to do a little something every week so that by the time her birthday rolls around everything will be prepared and everyone will be happy.

I went to sleep at 11:45pm. I woke up twice before I got up - 3:45am, then 6:05am (my wake-up time has been 6am lately). I got up at 7:30am. I wanted to see how late I'd sleep if I didn't get up with the alarm. Tomorrow I'll go back to the alarm.
half hour of writing
I committed to my PR group yesterday that I would spend a half hour this morning working on my book - or at least staring at the book on the computer screen. I don't want to do that before I get dressed, so I'd better get dressed fast now...
committing to a schedule
I wasn't able to do the half hour of writing before the meeting because there wasn't time. I'll do it some time today, though.

5:30am on Saturday!!
Wow - you're up early on a Saturday. What time do you usually get up?
I've been trying to readjust my wake-up time.
Getting up early
These days, I usually get up at 5am, which I really like to do. Long ago, I was a late-night person; then got a boyfriend 15 yrs ago who was an early-riser, so I switched & have stuck w/it. For many years, I used an alarm clock. Then I went for about a month just getting up on my own. I'd go to sleep telling myself I was going to wake up at 5am and I would. But my schedule got crazy over Christmas & the internal alarm hasn't worked since then.

I'm halfway through cleaning up and a bit disheartened about it because even when it is clean it still looks a mess.
I've got my craft stuff out and don't feel like working on it.
I forgot?? my prayer, reflection and meditation this morning and didn't realze till coffee time. This is very strange.
I feel I've a lot to do before Monday when friend comes to work on legal/admin project and I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be doing.
I'm now taking a break of one hour. Cup of tea and listen to a play on the radio.
Will report in later.
Regards Rexroth
I can identify with cleaning.
I know what you mean about cleaning, and it still looks messy afterwards, even after throwing unwanted things away. I started a week or two ago to reduce the amount of stuff in my kitchen cabinets enough to get rid of one--even going so far as taking it off the wall. It's still sitting atop a chair in there! Ahh! There's a pile in my cellar waiting for it, too, so an hour would just do it. This may be the day. Ah ha. Take care.
Rexroth 16.19 GMT
Thanks Lark.
I've now got the kitchen finished and it's not perfect. Perfect involves new units, and redecoration and well who knows? I do need some extra storage.
I'm almost finished in living room. It looks even messier with several boxes and plastic carrier bags of stuff.
Anyway onwards and upwards
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth 21.35 GMT
I've got up to writing my journal on my list, only I haven't done any of my craft project. I've got the equipment up and working and I wanted daylight to do it. However I've done some additional things, like phoning a friend and arranging to meet up. She and I had a disagrement last year and our relationship is a bit bumpy. I didn't chose to list phoning her as a todo as I thought I might chicken out!
Also I've done some writing for another fellowship which I think will help me and I've done some writing and planning for what I want to achieve this year so I feel OK about it. I'm now having some time on the internet.
