Insomnia much?
Go get some sleep, pro. You have to get up in like 6 hours right? Go....Go now.
Right - 6 hours (ugh)
It's not insomnia - I'm tired, I could sleep! It's procrastination on going to bed. I'm like a little kid that way. Going now...

Mike's 2300 CI
Finally made it to work about half an hour ago, late of course. Family Guy and generally blah-ness just made me say "F-it". Otherwise, doing okay. Didn't get a whole lot accomplished today but, I WILL do the dishes before I go to bed and I WILL be in bed by 0945 tomorrow morning. Goodnight to you all.
Getting to bed on time
I want to get to bed on time tonight, so I'm going to stop fiddling around and:
Eat
Take out trash
Tidy up for company
Put out clothes for tomorrow.

Get lunch ready for work
Take a shower and get ready for work
Take out trash
Do dishes
Mop kitchen(Tomorrow most likely)
Clean off computer desk(Tomorrow also)
Vacuum
Clean bathroom
Finish mowing yard(Tomorrow afternoon)
Thanks to all. I think this will really help. Good luck to everyone. Keep at it.
welcome, Mike!
Nice to meet you! We used to have someone here from Australia who complained she was the only one posting during her daytime. You could have kept her company.
Are you ever around on weekends? That's my worst procrastination time and I do better with work partners.

Hello Pro
I'm on the comp more than I should be. I'll definitely give you some feedback on the weekends. Unfortunately tonight I got sidetracked by Scrubs, one of my fav shows. I did manage to get my lunch for work together. Dishes were a nogo and laundry was a little delayed, but done. Gotta get in the shower and get ready for work. Talk to you all soon.
Mike
weekend support
I'm so glad you'll be around on weekends. I've been really wishing people were around to keep me accountable.
I got distracted by TV tonight, too. It was the season premier of House, my very favorite show.

J.
pro's CI - 10am
Leaving for work now. If it hadn't been for the thing I had to review this morning, I would be practically on time. I'm late now, bordering on way too late. Better go.

Journey CI 9:23
First of all, don't be late to 9:30 meeting - so I think I'll postpone this ci until I get back from the meeting!
Making a shorter more realistic list seems to be helping a little - although all that stuff that needs to be done that didn't make it to the list is bothering me. Not that I would have gotten it done if it was on the list, but, oh, hell, you know what I mean.
Stuff I didn't get finished yesterday that goes back on today's list:
Return overdue library book
More work on Project #2
Leaving NOW for meeting
J.
pro's CI - 8:50am
I did this:
- Made up bed (converted bed back into couch).
- Washed yesterday's dishes.
- Ate breakfast.
- Critiqued something someone sent me (this was important, but it took time).
- Washed breakfast dishes.
Now I need to get dressed - fast. I'm already running late.

didn't water plants :(
I didn't water the plants on Sunday, then Monday I didn't have time before work, I procrastinated on it when I came home, and now this morning I again don't have time.
Sometimes my Time-Warner DVR fails to actually record. I need call them about this.

Tuesday day starter (mystery graphic)
Thanks for starting us off on Tuesday, Amy!
FYI... There's a graphic to the left of "happy tuesday" that only you can see because it references a file on your hard disk. For others to see it, it has to be on a Web server somewhere. Various sites offer free space for this - the sites with the graphics collections often do. I'm not familiar with specific ones because I have a Web site I can upload stuff to, but others here have used them and maybe can tell you more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Graphic
I didn't notice that extra graphic until now. I'm not sure what it is. I only put the two graphics off your Web site up and both of those are showing.
