I somehow managed to forget to take my second dose of pills. If I don't do that right now, I won't be able to take the third dose before bed - in fact, it may already be too late.
My evening schedule ended up changing again at the last minute. I went to the meeting and instead blew off my pile (again - it's used to being blown off). I need to answer business email tonight. I also want to watch House - my favorite TV show - which is on in 20 minutes.

my favourite too
House is my favourite too. Did you know Hugh Laurie wrote a book? It's called "The Gun Seller" and I just finished reading it awhile ago. It was kinda strange because my visual image of the main character in the book was House! I'm wondering if he writes any of the show, because some of the humour in the book had a similar feel to it.
I have it
I have "The Gun Seller". I'm a huge Hugh Laurie fan.

I knew something would have to go in my to-do list today, and it's going to be the meeting. I have some important work email to take care of, and also some important personal obligations.
Next thing I have to do is take my second dose of pills - then put away the clean laundry.

Bud's Check-in (1:45PM)
Finding it hard being consistent with checking in. Seems like I'm sabotaging, not allowing myself to feel good or do well. Nice to read your posts yesterday. Your support of one another comforted me. Did do a 5-10 minute workout this a.m., but it feels like not enough and I'm beating myself up for not working out yesterday when I said I would. Also having a hard time cleaning and with evening self-care.
Make & eat lunch.
Continue to look on the computer for jobs.
Send friend e-mail and contact her today.
Send 2 friends on-line cards that I'm thinking of them.
Re-schedule Dr.'s appt. that I cancelled today
Call Dr. to remind her to call other Dr.
Look up info on Internet for friend
Take puppy to park
Vacuum and clean the carpet.
Do my Salsa video
Continue to ice middle finger
Have a 5:30 interview, but they were sketchy
I'm trying to stop a compulsive behavior that is really hurting me and I slipped
TO DO Rest of today:
about what I'd be doing, but it's right in the
"hood" so why not, what's to lose?
once today, so I will start over now.
Take care all,
BUD♥

I decided that laundry is an emergency because I'm starting a new job tomorrow. I'll bring my Chinese books with me so I can study there. The owner of the laundry speaks Mandarin Chinese and likes to teach me stuff. :)
Before I go there, though, I'm going to make myself a nice lunch. I haven't cooked in a couple days because I've been out a lot. I don't want to get out of the habit.
I'm taking exercise off the list - that's not happening today.

pro's first check-in - 11:20am
I got up at 7am (went to bed at 9pm!), but haven't gotten much done yet today. I need to pull myself together and get focused. I slept 10 hours last night because I haven't been sleeping well lately and I've been sleep deprived.
I opened the window just now, and smell something fishy (yuck).
I need to do laundry, but I'm not sure how to fit it in today. I also am overdue for a Chinese lesson.

Lark's 9:45am CI (and 4:54pm)(and 11:00pm)
I've been losing my internet connection, so I hope this will get posted before it happens again. It's cold and damp here today, and I hope everyone else has a prettier day. I've procrastinated for two days calling a client with a bill which came to alot more than I thought it would, thinking there would be a problem. Just spoke with him, and he was okay with it. Sometimes we're our own worst enemies. Huh?
Done:
morning routine
put trash out
phone calls
answer e-mails
contact client
arrange meeting with other client
make arrangements with someone to help one day this week
meditation
sort out workshop

Todo today
up prayer reflection meditation
sort place for electricians visit
I don't know
Doctor appointment at 6.00pm
prayer and reflection
bed and sleep
I've posted even though I'm not at all sure as to what I'm doing today. I'm worried about seeing the Doctor, need to wait in for the electrician and am unsure what to do.
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth 15.30 GMT
The electricians were supposed to be coming to check the wiring, at least that is what my landlord said. They in fact came just after 9.00am and worked doing rewiring etc until 1.30 by which time I was very cold and fed up. The heating is electric. While they were here I tried to do some work on landlord and legal/admin stuff and didn't get very far. I made some notes but I'm not sure what use they will be. I've just had a hot bath and am waiting for and worrying about appointiment with doctor.
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth 18.19 GMT
Just back from doctor. He's such a nice guy that it's almost worth being ill in order to see him.
Feel relaxed and a bit out of it. Don't feel I can get my brain round doing anything yet.
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth 21.35 GMT
I've had enough and so to bed and sleep.
Goodnight folks Rexroth
