Hi everyone. Hope this works, as I haven't been able to logon all day. In any event, I had a busy day, reasonably productive, with several interruptions. Will post again soon.
Since moving to my current location a year ago, this Spring has been the first season that I have been walking to/from work several days a week. So the walking commute is what I did for Earth Day today.
I had a volunteer activity this evening. I drove to it, since it was 6 miles round trip; but that is ok, because I did walk for the shorter commute to work.
Tonight: Now to read a chapter in some recovery books before bed.
I am really stuck, haven't even been posting here since I'm so paralyzed. But I know my inaction just adds to my overwhelming "to do" list, and makes me feel even more guilty about all the things not done, so here is a better-late-than-never short Check in:
calls to A, C, G, C, D (at least 3 of these!)
e-mails to R, P, J
work on M document
Good morning . . . or I guess that would be good afternoon!
I'm offically off work today but I've been checking email and I might try to finish one thing that I had a problem with yesterday afternoon.
I got up early and went to the gym and the grocery store . . .the kids are coming over for dinner. Then I took a nap!! I've been doing nothing for the last hour or so and it's time to get moving.
First up - plan the rest of my day.
Check back at 1.

I've been waiting three hours on sheetrock guy to come.
I've been waiting a day for roofer to come fix a persistent leak in the NEW roof they installed months ago.
This is great for a procrastinator because I feel like I'm doing something while I'm waiting. Unfortunately, this feeling is misleading, and I am, alas, doing nada.
Ah, the pitfalls that await the procrastinating side of me.
Time to call them again.
Meanwhile, I will try to concentrate on posting receipts. Yes, this is what I will do!
Last night, didn't get through what I said I'd do (finished econ chapter, then went straight to bed), so I was embarassed and put off checking in, and have done very little this morning. Oh well, time to start now!
First up:
*Figure out what's up with EGF weights
*try lower cap
*Read article on averaging methods
Next up:
Figure out expr. weighting method
Make new interactome with gcc expr weighting
Visualize results from lowering cap and from new test data set
Download Novartis human expr compendium/ask KM whether he's used it
Talk to LR
Sending you a wish for a rich time of remembrance. Hoping that the good times come to your mind and that you feel a happy connection with the spirit of your loved one.

Gotta laugh at that. If you all hadn't been carrying on about the chat, I never would have updated the site.
