pro's CI - 8:15pm (tired!)

I'm so tired! I'm not able to get anything else done after working for 8 hours. It's only 8:15pm and I feel like going to sleep for the night. The antibiotic I'm taking can cause folic acid anemia, which makes you very tired. I don't know if that's what's happening.

pro's CI - 6:25pm (back from quick errands)

I just went out and did a couple quick errands - dropped off a shirt at the dry cleaner's, and picked up my mail. I'm going to make dinner now. I got a Netflix movie in the mail - I want to watch that.

pro's CI - 12:40pm

I'm still feeling really weird and unwell. I'm not functioning that well. I'm doing some work. There's one thing in particular I need to finish and my mind isn't sharp. I don't know why I'm so tired.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

opinion

Thanks anyway.   Yes, I was being funny (trying) about financial s/w making it fun, huh?
I'm sorry you have ADD.  I do, also one of my dd's and my grandson.  I raised 2 nephews who
had it.  It has many faces, some good actually. 

Sorry you're sick. Hope you feel better soon.

allergies

I think my problem is allergies. I stopped taking my allergy medicine recently. My eyes itch, and my hands (of all things) have been itching. Allergies can make you very tired.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

antibiotics

The itching of my hands is a side effect of the antibiotics I'm taking. I just looked it up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

feeling weird

maybe the antibiotics - taking antibiotics, especially strong ones, always makes me feel puny. 

J.

that could be it

That's true - it could be antibiotics. I don't remember mentioning I was taking them, but I am. Are you psychic, or did I say it? :P

Journey 10 am late, late

Good morning everyone!  Running late this morning but I can blame it on the weather.  It's been raining for two days which is a good thing because we've been having a terrible drought.   Traffic was horrid so everyone is late today. 

A normal day for a change, my schedule has been so effed up the past few days it's been difficult for me to get my thoughts organized. 

DONE:
-Gym - 5 minutes late (back to my evil ways)
-Email
-9 am conference call (did it from the car lol)
-Daily planning

TO DO:
-Project #3 - the yucky one - as much as possible - 3-4 hours  
-Project #2 - some cleanup and documentation - 1 hour
-SL form - try to finish up today - 15-30 min
-Project #1 - update panel - 1 hour
-Tm club - post roster - 1 hour
-Dishes - 30 min
-laundry - 15 min

Journey noon

spent all morning on Project #1 on something that came up.  Now a break.  back at 12:15.

Adding one thing to the list, need to stop by the bank on the way home. 

J.

Journey 1:00

turned my break into lunch - next up, 15 minutes on some online training, then, froggy. 

J.

Journey 6:15

Just submitted that SL form that I've been sweating over for the last few months!!  Yay!!

NOW I can address filing an amended tax return for 2005. 

This is doable, in 15 min. chunks, just like I did the SL application right??

Right??

Sure it is!

8:15 CI for Lark (Feel the fear and do it anyway!)

Hi everyone. It's really dreary here this morning, and that's a good reason to post. I haven't been posting much lately, and I REALLY need to get involved again. One thing I recently did which helped was to get a friend from my 12 step group in town to act as my procrastination sponsor. I don't wish to bombard him, but just checking in daily or so has been a big help. He helped me realize that one reason I procrastinate is fear. When I keep that in mind, I does help me "take the next step" so to speak. I hope you all do well today.
To do:
morning routine
spiritual (not ego)period
finish main project for work
wash (and put away) dishes)
check in periodically here

Kaa - 10:15 am

Rexroth 17.45 BST

Just got back, banking done, charity and rent cheques posted and a productive and challenging meeting with pschologist. I'm beginning to feel good about myself again. I don't feel happy about where I'm at but I am happy with the actions I'm taking.

Regards Rexroth

13.00 BST

Going reasonably well until I wrote the charity cheque and realised I didn't have enough money in the account and that I also needed to pay my rent. I have enough money but its in the wrong place so I need to go out to the bank and sort things out. The ornament seems to be designed so that it can't be packed. Anyway I've notes made for psychologist so I'm just going out to sort things.

Regards Rexroth

Rexroth 22.38 BST

Today I mailed in my renewal lease - a week late, but it's done. I've got a lot more backlog to take care of. I'm going to try to go to sleep now so I can work on the pile when I get up. I've been getting up too late for that - maybe I'll do better this time.
