Well, my project that was coming together last night ran into significant technical difficulties. I didn't get a lot of sleep and I'm not where I wanted to be at this point. I'm mad about it. I let myself focus on less important elements of the project...that's also where I ran into the technical difficulties.
Okay, so here I am. I'm clearer now. I feel good about that. Back to Step One and now I take the next step.

Lark at 8:45am
Good morning everyone (afternoon to Elisaveth). The most important thing for today is this one project for work. Aside from doing some phonetime for work and a bit of housework, I need to focus on this, and check in when i'ts finished to plan the rest of the day. Have a good day everyone.
Lark at 5:45pm Still going.
My project is almost done, I was watching a movie a few minutes at a time, and actually finished it instead of finishing my job earlier. It worked out, but that's rather thin ice for skating. Also, a few errands got done so it added up okay. Planning to go to a meeting tonight, where everyone usually goes out for a snack afterwards. Tomorrow will be the day to check the project over, deal with the client, and get paid. Yeah! Then it'll be time to begin a project which should be done already. Hmm.
Hey, Lark
kromer 7:40 CI
Good morning!
Big old plan for the day:
1)Morning routine
2)Work on senior thesis until 11
3)Lab mtg 11-12
4)Senior thesis 12-4
5)Gym 4-5
6)Youth group 5-9
Detailed plan for the morning:
1)Read the news (limit to 10-15 minutes) DONE 8:10
2)Tidy room, get dressed DONE 9:15 (I even made some progress on my piles of papers!)
3)Deal with email DONE 7:55
4)Update txnal graph to use EG ids DONE 8:45
5)Create main graph (decided I'll do this after I get to lab)
6)Post results of coreg. adjacency analysis
Go to lab
UPDATE 9:30--I'm really losing focus. The adjacency analysis is on my laptop, so it needs to get posted before I leave the house. I'll put on some music, get out my timer, and just get it done...should only take about 20 minutes.
UPDATE 10:20--OK, posted the part of the adjacency analysis that's on my laptop. There are still a couple more things to put up, but they're in lab and shouldn't take long. Now I'll pack lunch and go to lab mtg. Check in when that's over with a plan for the afternoon.
kromer 12 CI
Finished lab meeting.
Now I'm in lab, and need to do 4 hours of work on my senior thesis.
THE PLAN:
1)Create main graph (30 min) (Rough version DONE 1)
2)Change code so it can run with a single graph (15 min) DONE 12:30
3)Try running code (30 min)
--Break and check in
4)Change code so it can run without gene data (30 min)
5)Try running that version of code (30 min)
--Break and check in
6)Look for new datasets (1 hr)
--Break, then go to the gym
kromer 1:40 CI
Grr, losing focus, and realize there are a lot of little things I need to do to get this code working.
So, here's the revised plan:
1)Take a short (5-10 minute break), talk a walk, get my head back together
2)Work on finding test datasets: I'll do about 30 minutes of reading on datasets
3)Remove duplicates from transfac->eg mapping, document how I got the mapping
4)Fix transciptional graph
5)Create new test set
6)Create new main graph
7)Start code
8)Read more about datasets if time
And I will leave the running without gene data until the weekend.
kromer 3 CI
I got really interested in the datasets...went a little long, but think I found some good data for my project.
Next, a short break, then remove duplicates and document mapping.
I'll fix transcriptional graph if I have time, but I think that might be about it for the day.
UPDATE 3:45--I have been less than wonderfully productive, but did remove duplicates, fix transcriptional graph, start documentation. I'm going to work on the documentation for a few more minutes, then go to the gym and to youth group. Check in when I get back (around 9 if I come straight home, 11 if I go out after)

Things are going well: I am making steady progress on filing archives, but it is a bit daunting. I feel like I am moving a beach of sand with tweezers: every time I think I have made headway I look up and see what is ahead of me. Nevertheless, it feels like a productive day: I did not play on Hexic today, so am feeling honorable.
I am dreading the tax work that I need to do this weekend, but I absolutely must do it, so I will. I better. I am going to turn it over to my higher power so she can handle it, or else I might screw up.
elisaveth eve checkout
I worked late tonight, which I have not done for a very, very long time. It was great, productive time, and my desk is cleared except for one pile of stuff that I moved over to work on new. The house is also neat, the baths are neat, my son is working on laundry, the sink is empty, and we ate out, so there are no dishes to clean up. I still have things to work on, especially financial aide stuff and tax things. Paperwork is clearly the most deadly issue for me - I have lots of dread around even the simplest of things. I also have a dreaded phone call to make about a mistake on the college application that was submitted and I am freaking out about it, and therefore procrastinating on it.
I will time myself for 15 minutes tonight and work on arranging papers for tomorrow, and I think I will work in half hour segments tomorrow to finish up.
