Grail CI, 4.30pm (Weds)

Ok,
I've had a good morning,
but I need to gear up to complete the following by 6.30pm:
* 1 recheck Project 1
* 4 rechecks Project 2
* Get Project 1 tidied up, packaged up, and send it off.

Then:
* Coffee meet
* Put washing on when I get home
* Guitar (I'm trying to do this as a daily thing, even if just for 5 minutes, because I'm a rank beginner)

Now that I think about it... drilling etc will have to wait for tommorow. o_O!
:)

Grail CO, midnight (Weds)

I got all the rechecks completed, project 1 was not finished but not my responsibility in that case. Pushed it by nearly missing my bus because I was trying to help it be finished sooner.
(Why is current task always more important than future task? Or rather, it isn't - I'm working on that!).
But, good thing being, I didn't miss the bus! Whew.
Made Coffee meet, just got home, so... washing.
And, hey, I think I will do guitar.
5 minutes won't hurt my sleep debt that much, and it's relaxing. :D

All in all, good day. *Such* a good week. Was really tired this afternoon, so, more sleep, but I stayed on task anyway. Wow!

good for you, grail!

congrats on making the bus!

taxes

well, actually, i did make a tax call today.  I can't not count that, because then i would have an exaggeratedly negative view of my own productivity ;)

Taxes

Hey,
you, E, & Douglas (and everyone else working on their taxes!) deserve lots of kudos for working away on something that lots of people have problems procrastinating on, not just us...
:)

Re: Douglas

Wow!
That's HYUUUGE.
Congrats!

Kromer, thanks for the giggle!

It is technically Wednesday, but I thought I would recount the day, be grateful and plan for tomorrow.

It was a successful day at work and also at home. I am particularly happy with having pulled together a new display and with the interactive way everyone is pulling together. The displays seem successful, and I am learning a lot bouncing ideas off of V. She is really knowledgeable and respectful, so I am particularly happy to be working with her.

I followed through on the tax issue and now have three things to find out for my accountant in order to be finished with 2007. I am EXTREMELY pleased to find out that 2007 taxes will not hurt financially. I am also EXTREMELY pleased to have this hideous task out of the way. I have always done my own taxes, and have always felt like I had to do them perfectly. Therefore they were a huge trial, as I felt like I ought to know everything about taxes and finances. Giving myself permission to not know everything has been a breakthrough for me. It will be worth every penny to have that weight off my back.

My son got wait listed to a second school and we are waiting on the last school. Then it will be a matter of having to figure out how to pay for it, but the anxiety of the application process is pretty much over. Phew!

I am getting closer to having my desk cleared and having things out of the way so I can focus on just the practicum. And I feel ready to make some progress in it!

I am grateful for my younger son, who is beginning to take more responsibility for his school work. I am grateful to myself for seeing a way to support him in getting up and out the door in the morning without getting upset.

I am grateful for my husband who made dinner again without asking, and who allowed me to take a nap this evening while he did so.

I am grateful for the vacation that is coming up in April.

tomorrow:
complete passport information for the vacation and send to ec.
water, meds, shower, bed, dishwasher
breakfast
get stamps to mail overdue stuff from work
check schedule on microsoft office and update the calendar
pay wind bill
get A to make rice dish for dinner from leftovers
grill eggplant
pack up taxes to put in storage.
start practicum logs!

goodnight!

Re: E's Wednesday

I'm so happy for you!
That sounds like a really productive day, and taxes is such a bugbear, I'm really proud for you that you've done so well, and you're so close to having it completed. Have a lovely morning when you wake!
