- Make and eat lunch and wash dishes.
- Pick up mail.
- Buy groceries and put them away.

To Do:
- Submit medical claims online.
- Clear out spam folder.
- Blanch almonds and remove skins.

Lark at 1:25 pm

Although it's still very cold, I'm making progress. I have one of my neighbors helping me a little, and while not nearly as much will get done as I planned for this week, it's turned around quite alot. So often when I see things aren't going to be "perfect", I don't do much of anything. Really don't want to make a list today, as all I wish to do is as much as I can on my work project and put energy wrap on my hot water heater. I just need a little success today, folks. Good luck everyone.

pro's CI - 11:30am (very dizzy)

I started to work and I got very light-headed and dizzy and had to lie down. I'm still very light-headed. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Ta Da:
- Made and ate breakfast.
- Put away dishes in dish drain.
- Washed breakfast dishes.
- Order prescription refills online.
- Search for doctors online.

To Do:
- Submit medical claims online.
- Get dressed.
- Clear out spam folder.

e's check in

Well, it took me a while to get here, but it has been a productive day in many ways. I am procrastinating on some big issues, though, so I will only put them on my list today.

taxes
financial aid
kitchen floor
supper

e's follow up

Well, the floor is done, the dishes are being done, I am on my fourth load of laundry, but also on my third episode of watching House reruns. I am indulging in many procrastiation behaviors today, even though I am pleased at all I have done to get my house in order and take care of my children who are under the weather. What disturbs me is that I find that I am relieved when my children are sick: I must put them first when they are ill, and I have a horrible sense of relief that I am entitled to put off today what I do not want to do in order to make sure they are okay. I am wincing thinking about that.

I introduced my younger son to Instant Boss today and he loved it... he worked for an hour and a half on math work before he figured out how to cheat himself out of accomplishing things. He has reviewed his math work, and worked for a bit on his science project. Imagine how horrid it can be being a chronic procrastinator and watching your children trip lightly down the same path.

For the next fifteeen minutes I will work on taxes. Ready, set, go....
