lad 11:40 CI
I don't know if I'm actually sick or just depressed. Anyhoo, got up at 6:15 with my husband like I was supposed to (albeit it should have been 6). But then was so sleepy I ended up falling asleep until 9:40. :P
But I did make a to do list last night (almost fell asleep first but didn't) and so far I've accomplished:
morning Bible reading
morning routine
stretches
laundry (both loads are in washer/dryer anyway)
I'm four hours behind, but now I must get crackin' on the presentation I need to give this week.
To do:
correct graphs
reorganize old presentation
I'll CI in 15 minutes to make sure I'm working. I'll check email first to make sure I haven't heard from my boss...
lad 2:55 CI
Yay! Worked for 50 min. Now for a 10 min break... CI when I'm back.
lad goodnight CI
Wow did I lull myself into a sense of security... or something. I always think I can be distracted by media (computer, TV) for "just a minute" without getting sucked in. No, no, NO! But do I ever learn? Apparently not for more than a few days at a time at the most.
Anyway, got the laundry put away (with husband's help)
helped w/supper & dishes
finished correcting my graphs
the end :(
Anyway, going to bed now so I can get up at a reasonable time tomorrow.
Grrrr. So unhappy with myself!
lad 2:05 CI
...or 20 minute CI. :P ;)
But I've been working!! YAaaaaaaaaay!!
I'll CI in 30 min or an hour, depending if I continue working or not.

Julie's 11 am CI
Good morning everyone! I'm tempted to make myself a big, long list like I always do, but instead I'm going to try to be realistic. As Robin Williams once said, "Reality, what a concept!" (: So here are things that I need to get done today and if I have extra time I will add in some more. My goal for today is to stop working on anything work-related at 6 pm so I feel like I have some time off.

Happy Monday everyone! I didn't get nearly as much done over the weekend as I had planned, but then what else is new? But, I spent a lot of time with my grandson so that was time well spent. Babies grow up too fast.
I stayed up way too late last night, got a late start this morning and I'm sleepy. I just want this day to go by fast so I can crawl back in bed and watch Heroes while I fall asleep.
OK, here goes:

Congratulations on being on time to class!! I've noticed you working toward that and am so proud of you! I know it's hard to change how your routine goes once you have one, even if it's not how you want it to be... Congrats! :)

Thanks lad!
Yep, I'm consistently five minutes late to everything! Tryin' to fix that!

pro's CI - 9:15am
Netflix just sent a notice that they received the movie I mailed by from the mailroom at work. Phew! I thought it was lost.
I stopped by the dry cleaners to drop off and pick up, and I got my mail. And it's still not even 9:30am. Wow! I'm leaving for work now.

I'm showered now - not completely dressed. Haven't had breakfast yet. My migraine is eased.
I think I may run out and pick up my dry cleaning now. I won't have time after work (an event to attend) and it's already been there a long time. Also, I have more to drop off.

Glad your migraine is better. Mine have been worse lately, too. It makes it even more difficult to get things done, doesn't it? Hang in there!

pro's check-in - 7:15am
Good morning! Thanks for the nice thread starter, Amy!
I have a headache - woke with a migraine this morning.
I mailed a Netflix movie back by dropping it in the mail bin at work and it hasn't arrived yet. Big mistake. Now what will I do?
Gotta get going. I hate going to work now. My boss is a monster.

Kaa - 09:20am
Good morning !
I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! Oh man I'm late as can be, I have to do one month worth of writing in just four days.
*** important ***
Write at least three pages. Doesn't matter which article I begin with.
CI at least once during the day to monitor progress.
*** less important ***
There's nothing else I should do today. If I don't write these pages I'm in deep trouble.
Kaa - 6:30 pm and I'm done
I made it ! Checking in definitely helped, as did Leechblock set on "block every site if I surf for more than 15 minutes per hour". Now I'll begin working on my next article.
Kaa - 4:20pm
I'm close to two pages. I can do it.
good luck, Kaa.
Been there, done that. Try not to get yourself too jacked up with fear. That could backfire.

Getting on slowly with list because I chose to do something different. I've been procrastinating on buying a new vacuum cleaner for many months. This morning I went into the library and looked up consumer information and then went to a shop and bought one of the recommended models. I've just arrived home with it and I feel I've done well.
Now for the rest...
Regards Rexroth
Rexroth 15.22 BST
If I don't sort out the info for the solicitor then he can't advise me and that would be a waste of time and I still haven't done it. Help please.

Thanks journey. I've now written out some rough notes, what I need to take, what I need to say, what I need to ask. That will do for the time being, perfection takes a bit longer.
