pro's check-out - 1:45am (TUESDAY!!)
I'm getting my hours all screwed up - going to bed later and later. At least I won't be tired on New Year's Eve. I'm going to a party.
I had a so-so day, got some stuff done. I had a lot of anxiety about what I had to do, but I did make a start. I hope to get more done tomorrow.

Hey all! Had a busy day today helping my grandmother with some stuff. Tonight's goal is finishing my English paper—on Saturday I emailed the professor and said I'd have it to her in three or four days, but now I'm busy all of tomorrow and tomorrow night, so I'm just going to try and finish the essay today. It'll be nice to have it out of the way, anyway—and even if I don't finish, it'll be nice to only have a little bit left for Wednesday afternoon. So I'll be in the chatbox a lot to keep me on track!

Hi Pro Buddies!
Checking in at the end of my work day, since I will be out & about this evening ;)
I was hoping it would be Jan 5 before we started gearing up again here at work. Oh my gosh, we are already gearing back up today! I already have a long list of new projects! I've started working on it throughout the day.
I need to find a certain paper. ((looks through everything)) Cannot find it. Maybe it is at home? ((writes notes to self to look at home)). ((visions of tossing papers through air in trying to find it)). ((sigh)) Next: have a snack. Plan to go by condo on way to 12-step meeting tonight, & do quick look for paper. Also stop by vitamin store on way to meeting. After meeting, I hope to meet with my sponsor. It will be their first meeting back after having cancer surgery, so I will see how they are feeling, rather than just expecting to meet. They aren't back to work yet, but they now have Dr's permission to drive & got out.
Have a great night, everyone! :)

woke very late today and had to run to meet my childhood friend and her husband for lunch. We had a nice time, but I still feel like I am back in bed. I have taken half of my medicine, but forgot to do the next bit: i am off to do that now and then heading to the chatbox.

kaoba: back once again
Hi,
I haven't checked in for a very long time, but want to get back on track with things. I want to figure out how to work with the check-ins and chatbox so that I do start moving again. Unfortunately, I have been very stuck lately.
Best wishes to everyone,

Late CIing but I have been busy this morning. I am very excited about today and the rest of the week. I have great plans in mind for the reminder of the time that I have off from school. (Go back on the 2nd for couple of hours and then back to norm. routine on the 5th) What makes this week so great is that I have this site to motivate me towards my goals that I have set for the week. I have had 2 weeks off at Christmas for the last 12 years and every year I always have high hopes that I will get "stuff" accomplished yet after the 2 weeks I am always depressed because I always get nothing done. This year is different this year I have this site to as my foundation, my support and my motivation. I am excited and ready to get moving, and that is what I am going to do now. So here goes.
Fold and put away clothesLoad dishwasherDeclutter kitchen barI am going to sprinkle in a couple of 20 min. microburst and work toward accomplishing some of the goals that I have set for this week.
I am going to work in chat most of the day.
CI 11:50 Clothes are folded and sorted I am not going to put away yet I am going to spend the next 20 min working on clipping and sorting coupons, then I will put the clothes away.
CI 12:25 spent 20 min working on bills and the cultter that goes with the bills. Could not work on coupons because I could not find them. ): Next I will put away the clothes and think about what to do next.
CI 1:00 Clothes are completed my next task is to set up my daughters videocam so that they can recored a Star Wars Saga....... Then I am going to work 20 min on paying bills.
CI 1:40 Spent 20 min organizing and paying bills. Next I will load dishwasher and declutter kitchen bar.
CI 2:25 Dishwasher load and will run after I make lunch. Kitchen bar is decluttered. Mom has stopped to vist so I will be off task for a while.
CI 3:10 Mom is still visiting, spending time with the children. I am continuing to work as I visit with mom. Boxed up all my son's empty Star Wars boxes. Printed and cut out pictures for Christmas snow globe for mom. Not sure what I will do next will have to think about.
CI 4:50 Mom has left, It was a joy having her here, my kids just love her and she is so good to them. In process of cooking supper. My uncle gave us some deer hamburger so I am going to cook Hamburger Helper with it. Never had deer hamburger so it will be interesting. I am going to work on cleaning out the Christmas boxes in my utility room while I am cooking as well as picking my van up. (Pretty much clutter free). Off to the kitchen for now.
CI 6:35 Supper is done and dishes are washing in the dishwasher and my kitchen bar is free of clutter. A very successfuly dinner I would say. Cleaned out van for 20 min I found my coupons forgot that I had put them in a bag to take with me when I went to sit with my grandmother. I had planned on clipping some out when I sat with her but did not get around to it. So I will spend the next 20 min clipping coupons.
CI 7:30 Coupons clipped now I am going to work in the playroom for 20 min. I am boxing up the kids toys to move to the frog room.
CI 9:30 Packed up 4 boxes of toys in playroom took longer than 20 min but my goal was 4 boxes. Dad stopped by after haning net, typed up permssion forms form uncle and his son to hunt our land. Next task is to work in garage for 40 min. Getting a little late but wanting to accomplish the task that I have set. Check in later.
CO 11:20 well I am checking out for the day. Completed very things on my 20 min task list and helped my son put his first bag of Legos togther for his huge Star Wars Lego ship that he got for Christmas. I have accomplished so much today and I am very pleased with my progress. It was a great day and I am looking forward to tomorrow.

pro's first check-in - 10:10am (already in chatbox)
I didn't do my day start check-in when I first got up - went straight to the chatbox. I woke up to find that Outlook crashed, blah blah. Bad start. Stayed up too late last night, trying to configure my email on the new computer.
Okay - now I need to get dressed, make the bed, read my email about contract work, set priorities.

Journey 7 am last day of vacation
Good morning! It's my last day of vacation before I go back to work tomorrow, but I may work a little bit today just because I am bored silly. I am ready to go back to work.
I am late going to gym today because I got up and found my Creative mp3 player stuck in recovery mode. Took about an hour to get it functional again, had to reload drivers, reinstall firmware, and finally now my music and books are reloading. Luckily there was advice about this exact problem on the Creative forums so it was fixable. Now that I have my tunez again I can go to gym.
While I'm out, I need to buy some envelopes and drop something in the mail and return a library book.
Today, I want to:
Have a great week everyone!
Jo
