Recycler CI 7:10pm EST

Hi Pro Buddies!

Thanks for the Smiley Hugs above :)

Today: elliptical and stretching. Counseling unexpected walk-in caused flurry of emails; stayed distracted through most of day, but still got all MITs done. Had all vital projects finished by 5:20pm so can enjoy vacation through next Monday :)

Tonight: fixed & ate dinner, colored hair, surfed net. Next, dry hair. Retrieve Tai Chi fan from 3rd floor :) Finish packing for vacation. Go over notes/carry-on bag one more time. Go to sleep early :) Will I get to check in one more time? We'll see! :)

Have a great night, everyone! :)

Thank you, gals & guys, for being here! :)

Journey 9:45

Good morning all, and Happy Hump Day!

I've been to the gym, done my 20-minute day starter and completed MIT #1.  Whew!  Now I REALLY need to take a shower . . .yes, I'm telecommuting again today.  So far, so good with the working from home thing.  I have to trek into the office tomorrow.

Journey 12:15 oops!

I went to look at Paris Hilton's rebuttal to the McCain "celebrity" ad (it's hilarious!) and ended up surfing for an hour.  Guess I'll call that my lunch break!  Back to work.  Or actually, maybe I really will eat some lunch.

kromer 9:25 CI

Have started a little bit of work this morning (looked over apt. lease, checked on scanning code).

Now I'm going to spend 20-30 min. implementing principled way of setting capacities. I'm going to try and work out the code for writing solver files and running solver; I'll write code for processing the solver results tomorrow.

Mini-steps:
*Add cv to code
*Write script to try a variety of solver settings
*Write script to run solver code

Good morning! Thanks for the happy little lead-in today. Husband is safely sleeping, Dad is in ICU, and I am powerless! All I can "fix" is me, and most of the time I can barely manage that. So, off to pray and seek Higher Power for these MITs:

  • Bank and then 9:15 dr. appt
  • groceries
  • PEP backlog
  • conf call with KS 12n
  • DWS studio 2 pm

Thanks for being here, dear PA pals!

Ag ci 1 pm

  • Bank and then 9:15 dr. appt - DONE
  • groceries - DONE
  • PEP backlog
  • conf call with KS 12n - DONE
  • DWS studio 2 pm -DONE

The PEP backlog remains but I did make some headway on it today. Next time I will designate a specific time to work on it, like 20 minutes, and then reward myself. That seems to work for some folks on here. My Dad is home now with Mom until the next surgery can be done. Thanks for everyone's concern. I'm logging out for dinner and a support group meeting...manana, mi amigos!

Hugs for Agnus

My thoughts and prayers and with you, Agnus Stay positive :*

thanks to journey and edge

for the encouragement and warmth. It really helps!  I know others on this site are juggling fulltime caregiving duties with their grief processes, self-care and producing income, so I am grateful that my caregiving crises are only periodic so far. It is really a blessing to know we are all here pulling for one another.

Edge's little hug icon really made me smile!

Edge's CI - 6:55pm

Still doing ice work. It started out well, but I'm afraid I've begun nitpicking my own work and I'm not getting as much done as I should be because of it. Also, my perfectionism beast has reared its ugly head and I'm stressing out over what I have in front of me and what I want the end result to look like :rolleyes: Lame. Time to give myself a slap upside the head and get back to making progress. PROGRESS! *slaps self upside head*

<<<I've begun nitpicking my own work >>>

Man, is that ever a slowdown - and sometimes even a stopper - for me too. Thanks for the reminder. Today I will resist the beginning!
