I have at least backed out of a tentative plan to see Lawrence of Arabia in 70 MM at the theater down the block. That's rather painful. I love that movie...
I am in denial. I'm sleepy. I think I have lots of work to do, but I'm not really doing any of it. If I make a list here, maybe I will better understand what's at stake and what must be done.
First, big and rough:
Lay in text of newsletter to template. Work in CS2, in case I pass this job onto my friend this time.
Finish editing friend's grant proposal. Set timer, work on paper, then in Word.
Understand UOLLF form. You have to get this done this week!! What's the main problem?
Next: chores that I avoid or make last for hours when I have better things to do:
vacuum --- for heaven's sake, this would only take 15 minutes at the most.
do laundry -- a couple loads
take my dry cleaning around the corner ---
Make dinner, and lunch, and whatever else food... (yawn)
At 2:24, I got very near posting this: I really want to run down the street and go to this movie!! It starts in 5 minutes.
Aaaach!
Not only did it turn out that I actually went to the movie after all (my self took me out of my house against all my protestations, it was weird), I had a great time. And I thought the right time to leave was after LofA emerges from the desert into the Officers Club in Sinai. Minutes later on the bright sunlit street, I received a call from my newsletter client. She wanted to take me to dinner and was going to have one more restaurant review to make the newsletter easier to lay out.
Dinner was beyond delicious. Then there was ice cream. I did not sit at my desk and work, but I did experience joy and so, I have no regrets.
Just want to say, I vacuumed. Eating was taken care of, my house is clean, I'm set to take my medicine and ready to be at work on time tomorrow. I have also sent a TOC to my client for her to do some writing.

Looking over yesterday's list, I see that I got MOST of the most important tasks done. I could have done a lot more if I didn't play video games for 3 or 4 hours. I can't seem to stay away from this computer! Although like PRO says, if it wasn't video games it would be something else. Maybe even something worse :D
Today: Finish straightening the house Put pot roast in the crock pot Take Em shopping for a new pair of jeans - allow at least 3-4 hours for this!! sort laundry and wash, dry and fold two loads Color my hair Paint my toenails - DONE - LOL Submit Club Dues online If time, work on organizing car Dinner - should be cooking itself in the crock pot while I shop Clean up the kitchen AGAIN - why bother? It will just be dirty again tomorrow ! ? :-? Put some new music on my mp3 player
Check in at 8 pm, by then I should be done and winding down to get to bed early. Video games will be allowed at this point.
ANd in the interest of having a quality list, I'll stop here. If I get all this done I'll be happy. Happy Sunday everyone.
Good morning everyone. I've been putting off a project for a few weeks, and I plan to get it finished today. It seems I overbook myself all the time, because I'm fearing financial distress, when I have enough to do okay, one thing at a time. For this week I'm trying to finish some things, and keep my workload less. Today, I'm focusing on the main job, with short breaks for small taxks. I've found by doing our t10th Step each evening, that helps somewhat (when I do it, that is). Today: morning things spiritual time main work project kitchen floor work between times put laundry away visit sick relative put anything away which needs put away, using the timer for various periods. check in around lunch

Sunday morning CI for Lark
Good morning everyone. I've been putting off a project for a few weeks, and I plan to get it finished today. It seems I overbook myself all the time, because I'm fearing financial distress, when I have enough to do okay, one thing at a time. For this week I'm trying to finish some things, and keep my workload less. Today, I'm focusing on the main job, with short breaks for small taxks. I've found by doing our t10th Step each evening, that helps somewhat (when I do it, that is).
Today:
morning things
spiritual time
main work project
kitchen floor work between times
put laundry away
visit sick relative
put anything away which needs put away, using the timer for various periods.
check in around lunch

Ferrets, cool. We used to have pet rats which were a lot of fun but also a lot of trouble and expense :) They hated their baths.
