Phone calls are stressful for me, and I've got some anxiety going on (I think from my AD). So I'm going to get up, stretch, go wash some grapes for a snack, set the timer for 15 min, and plow through them. I have a bit of good chocolate for a reward when I finish.

- Breakfast dishes washed. - Dressed. - Lunch packed. - Water filter bottled refilled. - Pills for day laid out. - Took pills (dose 1 of 3).
I'll take down the recycling on my way out.
I'll get to work around 10am. Not great, but acceptable (many arrive at 10am where I work). I'd still like to arrive earlier so I can leave earlier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Hi everyone. My elderly relative who's been ill is rather bad, so I don't want to commit myself to major goals today--especially specific ones to clients, so I'm making today "catch up" day. Ta da: (X)morning routine (X)spiritual time (X)clean house (X)visit nursing home (X)do laundry (X)work on current work projects only (X)check in here
I'm finished with breakfast. If I were on-time, I'd be leaving for work now, but I'm not dressed. If I try to exercise, I'll be even later than I already am. I know it's a slippery slope to skip exercise, but I have to solve one problem at a time. First I need to get to work on time. Once I can do that reliably, I can add morning activities. Maybe I can exercise this evening (unlikely).
Now I need to lay out my pills for the day, take dose 1 (of 3), wash the breakfast dishes, and shower and dress.

Nan - please put your username in the subject line of your check-ins - e.g. "Nan's bookend" or ideally, "Nan's bookend, 7:30am". If everyone used just "Bookend", no one would be able to find their previous posts in the topic list.
Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
I didn't do stuff last night, so I have to do it this morning - like starting today's day thread, for example. Also washing the dishes. Since I have some housework to do and I want to get to work sort of on time, I can't fool around surfing and doing email this morning.

N's Bookend
Okay, got some kind of bad/shocking news. Not that it's an excuse not to work, but I did have an hour-long phone appointment, which was good.
I still have 2 more hours of dissertation work, however. I don't think I'm going to do it. I can't read right now.
Therefore, to do:
call someone from program and explain what's going on.
go to a meeting?
sounds like a good plan.
and a good way to take care of yourself.
Nan - subject lines for check-ins
