Good morning
Yesterday wasn't such a great day (Kromer and I seem to be on the same up and down productivity schedule lol) I worked from home in the morning, and got a few things done, but my doctor's appointment took longer than planned in the afternoon and I ended up not working at all in the afternoon. I did a few chores around the house, then played video games until bedtime. OK, confession time over, today is a new day.

Journey 11:30
So far, so good. I've been quite productive this morning. 1/2 hour lunch break then back to work.
Journey
Journey 12:15
back from lunch, and at lunch I checked on some insurance stuff and SL application - no big surprise there is YET ANOTHER form I have to fill out - I think they make it so difficult that you'll give up trying to get your money out of them . . .
so still being productive,
I have one item that arrived in email that I need to take care of right now, then I'll get to work on WPS project and work on that until my dentist appt.
Journey
Journey 1:15
checking in because I'm dawdling around trying to decide which pen and paper to use for my notes on this project . . . I know this is just because it's a big project and I'm scared to get started on it. So, no more fooling around, just pick a notebook and get started!

Falcon's CI -- I'm back
Hi all,
I hope everyone had a great week! I just got back from vacation -- I had a terrific time! And either the vacation or the med I'm on seems to have really boosted me up from my winter depression. Yay!
That's the good news -- the bad news is that now I'm really spacy from jet-lag and having a hard time getting going this morning, with a bunch of stuff to do. What I really want to do is curl up with the good book I started on the plane back. Maybe I can use a little reading time to bribe myself to function.
So. . .
Take a shower, get dressed, empty dishwasher
Read for 10 minutes
Call friend, go for walk, go pick up cat
Read for 10 minutes
That's enough to get me started.

4)Get EGFR data
kromer 3:10 CI
All right, I've downloaded the data. Now it's time for my favority part of work...ID conversions!
There's already a script to do what I want, but it's written in a programming language I don't know. So, I think I'll spend the next 40 minutes-ish learning R, and then go off to my psych expt. Check in again when I get home, around 5:30.
kromer 5:30 CI
Home!
Now I'll write up notes from my student group meeting, go through my email, and find coactivators near AMPK and ATK. If I get done before 6:30, I'll start checking over my DOE forms. I'll go make dinner at 6:30, and check in when I finish dinner around 7:30
kromer 7:50 CI
Back from dinner, a bit late.
Before dinner, I got caught up in checking over my DOE forms, and didn't do the other stuff. I'm going to finish up the DOE forms, write up notes, and find the coactivators, then check in again.
UPDATE 9:20--DOE forms all checked (that took forever!)
UPDATE 9:30--Notes typed up
UPDATE 9:50--Found coactivators near AMPK. Now need to find EG ids corresponding to ATK, and find coactivators near it.
kromer 10 CI
Done!
Now I'm going to call home, take a shower, throw out the soda cans and banana peels in my room, and read 20 pages of my R manual.
kromer 11:10
My room is now banana-peel free. All the above are finished.
I'm getting tired, but also am being pretty productive, so I'll get some chores taken care of before I call if a night.
I'm going to fix my coat and sweatshirt, then read my Bible, do some situps and call it a night. See you all tomorrow morning!
make some money by being a subject in a psychology expt
ha ha I was a psychology major many long years ago and did that kind of stuff - don't let them mess up your head lol
Journey
movingalong's Tuesday goals
Mail payments that I've promised to pay for several bills
Delivery payment to electric company
Work at my job, and remember to take reasonable breaks
Do a spending plan for next 9 days
Prepare list so that I can shop frugally for nutritious food
Phone landlord yet again regarding needed repair
Ask Higher Power for guidance on how to handle all of the above
update on movingalong's Tuesday list
I delivered payment to electric company.
I worked at my job -- however the only break I took was to deliver the payment to the electric company. I really need to schedule breaks (and lunch!) into my day.
I phoned the landlord again about the repair, but received no reply.
Didn't prepare grocery list. Need to do this.
Didn't check in with Higher Power. I need to remember that Checking In With Higher Power can take a short time. I don't have to do it perfectly.
Didn't do spending plan. I shall choose to do this (however imperfectly) on Wednesday.
shop frugally for nutritious food
Always a good plan, I don't always do so well with that myself! good luck
Journey
re: shop frugally for nutritious food
Didn't do that yet, but need to. I think if I prepare a list, I'll do better. Gonna put this on the next day's to-do list.
