Got everything completed on my list today.
I am tired. Did a little too much yesterday.
Just don't see how it is all going to get done if I decrease to just one or two tasks a day.
Want and need to do so much, but feeling unsure it's doable.
...Really looking forward to tomorrow's paperwork session in chatbox...

e's evening check in
Today was another very good day: I am enjoying myself tremendously at the library. I worked without interruption except for a half an hour lunch period and stayed until 6 to see how they close up. It is so clear to me that this is what I need to be doing from now on.
My letter/email came back to me with the wrong email address and I sent it directly off to a general address at UMASS so that I didn't sit on it. I am hoping that it goes through this time, but am pleased that I stayed on top of it and didn't let the dread build up.
I have a frightening phone call to make about my practicum and masters. It is nearly impossible to get hold of people and find out information about my program and not knowing is frightening, finding out is frightening and not being able to find people is frightening. It has to be done, so I am going to at least commit to making an email letter tonight to find out more information.

e's after email check back
Okay, I did it: I wrote a groveling, apologetic, humble and nauseating plea for help with my practicum, but it is done, it is sent and it is out there, for better or worse. They can tell me that I am no longer a viable candidate or they can tell me that I can switch programs, or they can tell me that I have to do tons of coursework or makeup work to catch up, but at least I will know. ugh.
But it is DONE, something I have been putting off doing since last June.
FEAR IS A TERRIBLE THING! I F-ING HATE THE WAY I SELF-SABOTAGE!
sigh.
but.. on the good side, I did the nastiest thing that I had to do, and it was all thanks to this fellowship.
HUGGGGGGGS!!!!!
Is there anything better
Is there anything better than being where you are supposed to be at the right time?
Also, I understand self-sabotage. If company is any reassurance, please know I arrived at self sabotage, threw the party and cleaned up long before you got there elizaveth.
I intend however to burn self sabotage right to the damn ground!
yours with humility,
douglas

Journey 9 am
Good morning! Playing catch up at work today since I was out yesterday. I had planned on working some yesterday afternoon when I got home from babysitting, but 1) my d-i-l was later than planned getting home 2) I was exhausted - but happy - after chasing a toddler all day.
So, first things first today - email and voice mail.

voice mail and email read and processed.
Next - post my top ten, and take a banana break.
After that, submit the first batch of copy jobs and write up/send out the minutes from yesterday's change planning meeting. I did the meeting from the car, so I don't have notes lol, I'll have to recreate from memory . . .

journey 1:40 check-ins rock
These check-ins really help :) If you haven't tried them, give it a go.
I was worried at first that people would be bored to tears by the details of my mundane life, but I have yet to see any tears on the forum, and I'm exhibiting more smiles these days.
Minutes done, double checked, and submitted. Also had lunch since I last checked in!
Next, plan/schedule a reboot of the DR test sys at 3pm. Giving myself 5 min. to read the zen habits blog - setting a timer now.
