Hi Pro Buddies!
Just swallowed 2 Nyquil tablets, & put on Breathe Right strip. The cold symptoms have been managed up through this evening. I was supposed to skip my support group meeting this evening to rest; but went anyway, then sat on the opposite side of the room so I couldn't give germs to anyone.
Today: took things over to condo. Drove uptown, because with a cold, I don't need to be walking in the cool morning. Showered at gym & got ready for work. Did projects at work in s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n (you know how it is when you have a cold/fever); but got things done by the end of the day. Stayed after work to work on volunteer project. Did a couple errands on way to support group meeting. Met with sponsor after meeting. Stopped at pharmacy on way home & bought cold meds ;)
I hope this is the kind of Nyquil that will knock me out. The last week I've been waking up at 2am & not really going back to sleep. Ready for some ZZZZ's now.
Have a great night, everyone! :)

congratualtions on posting, moving. I am stuck there myself these days. one little task at a timeToday has been a wash, although I am pleased that I drank my water and took meds. I am still in pjs and curled up in bed under a fluffy comforter. I am beginning to realize that this bed is too comfortable! The sunlight comes in behind me and lights the room and I just lay here and feel happy just reading Rosamund Pilcher novels in bed. I am pretty sure this is called depression, but I am enjoying myself too much.

Agnus checking in
Hi, Pro-Pals! It is SO good to be back. I plan to resume daily check-ins, now that our latest family crisis (formerly called vacation) is over and we are headed back home today....Mom (84) fell face-down and broke her nose, pretty bruised up and some mental confusion. Dad (79, Alzheimer's) got e-coli, peritonitis and pneumonia. So instead of a nice Maryland-Virginia vacation with brief visits and lots of fun tourist-y stuff, we have been juggling Mom's doctor appointments and taking turns staying with Dad in hospital. So, today's plan:
take care ag
i pray you have serenity, courage and wisdom today.

I've got a busy day today. So I'm going to take it a bit at a time.
Right now I'm going to spend 10 min reading the news, then clean up my room and pack lunch, do food log, head to lab. When I get to lab, I'm going to:
*Finish math for cell model
*Print JCO instructions for authors and read them
*Finish reading Boman paper.
Then, I'm going to do some Harambee prep:
*Email PJ
*Divide up list of phone numbers
When I've finished those tasks I'm going to check back in. Other tasks for the day are to work on PF's project and to read one of the papers for CSB100.
Update 9:15--running late, but finally in lab and ready to work. I'm going to do cell growth model now. Back when that's done.
Update 10:00--having a whole lot of anxiety, and it's getting in the way of me working. I'm going to take 30 min to do something else (JCO, Boman reading), then I'll come back to the stem cell growth model.
kromer 11 CI
I'm having some pretty overwhelming anxiety, and that's making it hard for me to get work done. I did print and read JCO instructions on make some progress on cell model, but that's it.
I'm going to do some straightforward tasks to help overcome the anxiety, then I'll come back to harder tasks. So right now I'm going to do the Harambee prep. Then I'll read one CSB100 paper. Then I'll check back in. I'm going to work in the chatbox.
Chemgirl thanks Kromer
Hope you are feeling better and more productive today too. I have had some serious anxiety going on lately too, have actually increased my meds so hopefully that will help. Am having an unmotivated day today, hopefully posting here will get me going!
Yay us! Just think, soon you will be Dr Kromer (and I don't know what I will be, Master Chemgirl? lol)
kromer 1:10 CI
Going slowly, but at least I'm going. I did Harambee prep and read one CSB100 paper.
I think now I'm going to have to focus on MUTs...specifically prep for mtg w/ PF tomorrow. Here are my next steps for mtg prep.
*
Make outline of what I'd like to talk about at meeting*
Make plan of attack for improving algorithm*
Fix cytoscape visualization*Visualize 2 non-random + 4 random nextworks.(Made good progress on this...visualized 3 of the networks, also did analysis on 2 of those)
I think this will probably take me most of the afternoon (though I also need to take care of about another 30 min of Harambee prep). I'll work in the chatbox and give frequent updates on my progress here.
kromer 8:40 CI
Despite a lot of anxiety, today I made decent progress on my 2 research projects and read one of my papers for CSB100. So I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished so far today.
This evening I'm going to:
*Do laundry
*Balance checkbook
*Talk w/ AG
*Go over probability lect. 10
*Do 1 question from probability pste
I'm going to start by getting my laundry going, then I'll start going over lect 10
Update 10:50--did laundry and talked with AG. Now I need to make my bed/tidy up a bit, then I'll go over the lecture (in the chatbox)
Update 12:10--didn't quite stick with my schedule, but I went over more than half the lecture and did 3 pset problems, which is pretty good progress. Food log, shower and bed now.
Chemgirl CI Monday 9.14pm
Did a solid hour of work on my thesis today, go me!
Am listening to flylady's daily pep talk now, plan to go downstairs to do a little tidying up but even if that doesn't get done then I am happy because I did the first work on my thesis in 2 weeks :)
congrats chemgirl!
great job on your thesis work :)

Thanks, Movingalong, for the wise wish of the banner...
am: meetings
pm: UT goals. Aim to do these early instead of letting them drag on.
did all the meeting stuff--following the saying on George S's posts and elsewhere about turning up. (I could have skipped some.) Attending when I don't have to is part of defeating selfishness, not just avoidance. And now after the evening meeting, an IT for tomorrow has become a UT and there is no opportunity for perfectionism. Will do a microburst or two and then count on the precious early early hour.
Early morning completion of task done --and with more clarity and decisiveness than I could have brought to it after the first late evening stint. (Reminder to self: there's a finite number of GOOD work hours in a day. Use the ones you have well and then have fun instead of letting work spill over all boundaries)
Tuesday follow up: meeting type stuff all day, important, Now it's afternoon; I started work ing at 6.30 am, need a break now!
First meeting; done, it was the right thing...
movingalong hopes to move forward
Hello all.
I have a lot to do. It's hard to even list it. At this point, my ta-da is to post.
