When I am home, I am going to have to limit my computer time to an hour each evening, or something like that. Having Internet in-house is super-tempting ;)
This morning: I did my routine at the gym with MIT stretches. Friday I hope to get there a little earlier for extra stretches.
Work: while my project list still looks long [to me], I have been marking things off. I'm trying to accomplish things to have the list strategically better for next week.
Tonight: I have Executive Committee planning meeting for one of my volunteer groups. When I'm in the condo before that, I will try to do some chores -- updating my CI will be helpful re chores -- however I will have to be careful not to get drawn into extended web-surfing like last night.
Personally, there is something on my mind -- doing some chores tonight will also help me dissipate some energy. Tomorrow I will see the person who needs to talk to me. Serenity prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
9:15pm. Back from mtg. Other things I did tonight: I washed a load of clothes & hung them up to dry. I wrote an email to my international friend. Next: take meds & brush teeth. See if I can find phone list to call friend. Go to sleep.
I had to really push myself to come here and post today.
I have Economics class from 3-6, then Psychology from 6:30-9:30. Last night I copied 9 chapters of Econ vocabulary in hopes that it will help me with the test we'll be taking today. It also counts as extra credit if you turn in hand-written vocabulary and definitions. I missed both Econ and Psych last week because I had a bad migraine....I am really regretting that, because now I feel really behind, like I'm starting to slip again.
Tomorrow morning I have my frist meeting with my client for my Ad Design class. Tonight I need to come up with a list of questions to go over, and find a nice outfit, as well as finishing up some other homework for that class.
I think I have a long night ahead of me...
For now, I'm struggling to get motivated to blow dry my hair. I absolutely despise the whole process, and have to battle myself to do it every time I take a shower. I could just let it air dry, but then it won't look as nice for my client meeting in the morning. *Sigh*...it seems like it should be such an easy thing to do!
Found out tonight that the hours and hours of copying vocabulary was only worth 9 extra credit points. Oh well, I'm glad to have the notes now, and I might end up needing 9 extra points someday, anyways.
Just waiting for Psychology to begin. Hope everyone had a good Thursday!
I have some progress to report: I am ready to file my back tax returns that I had procrastinated on for years. That is good news I need to celebrate (and not just berate myself for taking so long) - they are now done!
On to today's "to do" list:
Review B file; drafting
Call or e-mail TW re drafts
Call DP re meeting
E-mail MK
Pick up d at school
I cannot get into chatbox (just says it is loading but then it never opens...), so I'll keep checking in here today.
sometimes I have trouble getting into chatbox from work . . .I think it times out because our bandwidth is restricted. logging out and back in sometimes helps.

Calls to sponsor, Mom, sponsee, pest control and M/WI
Step 11
EP FB corresp
Just learned that a major event this afternoon must be postponed, which will require major correspondence on my part to cancel and resked. So that's first MIT before I can even sort the rest of my day. Back after that's done.
Changed my mind. I'm not cancelling the conf call. There will still be three key people who can make progress. Plus after this call, I can delegate the rest of it to someone else! :-) Now on to the rest of the day:
Call M/WI again
Followup toolkit revisions and ID how to post/where
NEW: Email it to KeT when final, folo w/phone, sked2chk
So, today I have to redo that F memo with the right subject matter this time (grumble) and take care of a variety of other items. I plan on it being a late night.
Just found my way back to the site yesterday even though I've been a member for a while. and It was/is a very good thing b/c my last couple days have been pretty bad. Hoping to benefit from a this tool so I'll just get started...
1. Create Call Log for L
2. Update ADA Plan
3. Set Up Meeting w/GK&DH
4. Org. x-dr files
5. Develop p/u log for drivers
6. Order Intro GIS
7. Print ?s and read background mats for mtgs
..ok that should be enough for now. Here goes nothin'!
Good morning! Actually I'm not having a really good morning but I'm hoping it will get better. I awoke with a splitting headache, but didn't take anything because headaches often go away if I go to the gym. It's still here so I'm about to take some advil. I've been having a lot of headaches lately, don't know what's up with that. Probably need to start taking my claritin on a daily basis for a while as things are beginning to bloom down here in the heart of the deep south. I've also been eating some bad stuff like chocolate, fried food, and chips. I know I feel better if I leave off that stuff, but it tastes really good sometimes!
So, I've been to the gym, commuted to the office, glanced through my email and calendar. I'll make my todo list/schedule and see y'all in the chat box by 9:30.

for now: to do:
finish dishes, make up futon, take meds, drink water.
It is 7:43.
"It's not about perfect results, it is about getting ANY results." - Constance
Scheduled: lots of stuff!
*training to use liquid handling robot (Cool!) 10-11
*Class 11-12:30
*blood donation 2-3
*mtg w/ EYL 3-3:30
*mtg w. DP 5:30-6
*dinner w/ AG 7
MITs:
*Prep for mtg w/ DP and take notes from it
*Get all motifs
*Brainstorm strategy for seq analysis
*Talk to CL about UTR sequences
*Figure out where I stand on rotation choice
Other tasks
*prep for mtg w/ EYL and take notes from it
*refine model of stra8/dazl data & take notes on the results
*plan for documenting flow code
*First step on seq. analysis
In the morning, I'll get all motifs and email CL about UTR sequences, then figure out where I stand on rotation choice, then head to LHR training+class.
Decided I would be better served by skipping LHR training and working on my MITs: I've emailed CL (will also talk to him after class), found all motifs, done most of the brainstorming about seq. analysis. Now headed to class, back after class to finish brainstorming and prep for mtg w/ EYL.
Went to class, talked to CL (took a little long), took a lunch break. Now going to take 15 min to finish brainstorming and 40 min to prep for mtg w/ EYL, then I'll go to blood drive appt.
Update 1:50--done w/ both the above tasks, going to head to blood drive appt, while I wait I can try and figure out where I stand on rotation choice, after appt. I'll go talk to EYL and then go to DP's lab to prep for mtg w/ DP, do 1st step of seq. analysis, and (if time) work on refining STRA8/DAZL model.
Went to blood drive appt and met w/ EYL, took a few notes from that (though I need to copy them down more carefully). I didn't get a chance to figure out where I stand on rotation choice. Now I have to quickly photocopy some notes, then go prep for mtg w/ DP, have mtg at 5:30, take notes from it + from mtg w/ EYL, figure out where I stand on rotation choice, then itt'll be about time for dinner. Back after mtg w/ DP.
I photocopied notes+picked up book from library, prepped for mtg w/ DP, took notes from mtg w/ EYL, started figuring out where I stand on rotation choice, went to mtg.
Now I need to take notes from mtg w/ DP and finish figuring out where I stand on rotation choice. Back later this evening.
