Had dinner and fed the animals, now I'm going to get stuff ready for tomorrow and spend 15 minutes folding laundry. Then all done, and I can goof off on the computer. See you guys tomorrow.

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...
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.
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:

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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
