Falcon CI Sat.
Kittens in sneakers!
I've got a bunch of stuff to do today. . . the place really needs tidying up, need to get to library, shower, do project T., got bills to pay, need to meditate. And I think I could use a nap.
Meditation might be the best place to start -- my brain feels kind of scrambly, and I think there have been some thoughts and feelings that I've been avoiding, so I could use a little centering & clarity.
Let's see if the chatbox will let me in today. . . if it will I'll check in there first, then go meditate.
Falcon
Wooo
Glad to hear that some one else meditates!
Enjoy your peace.

First, a celebration--I've been having a hard time focusing the past week because I'd been getting entangled in a friend's problems and stressed out by them. Yesterday I told the friend that this was not working, and that we'd talk in a couple weeks when the problems were resolved. I had a hard time doing this--I'd like to be able to be a supportive friend, but my sanity and ability to work come first.
It's a friend I hang out with a lot, so I've spent some time this morning thinking about ways to fill my time for the next couple of weeks. (For today, my fun/social activities are cooking dinner+making food for church potluck and calling a friend in Greece; if I start feeling lonely there's a square dance I can go to as well).
That said, I have a lot of work to get done today--I'm behind, largely b/c of situation with friend.
Scheduled: Lunch mtg w/ DR (11-1?)
MITs:
*Finish review of stats material
*Go grocery shopping+clean kitchen
*1/2 stats pset
*1 hr work on comp. bio project
Other tasks:
*Finish pum/dazl seq. analysis
*Doc. scanning code
*Info on conc. norm
*Finish ans WM problems+list of files to doc
Right now, I'm going to go grocery shopping+clean kitchen, then I'm going to head to 11am mtg

Thanks for all your support/encouragement, guys...friend thinks I'm being totally illogical, it's nice to have some affirmation that I'm not.
I went grocery shopping and started cleaning the kitchen (but roommates are cooking now, so can't finish that up until later today).
I had lunch meeting w/ DR...it was long (just got home) but good.
Right now I'm going to do some work on statistics...heading to chatbox now to work on that. Should probably be finished with it around 5.
good for you :)
That was a very strong and couragous action you did, Kromer, putting yourself first, supporting your friend second. Congratulations!

I agree! Very healthy, Kromer :)

Well, it feels good to finally (hopefully) be back. Issues with computer at home are fixed, of course now I have problems with my computer at work, not going to worry about that this weekend. I have alot to accomplish around the house this weekend as we had evening activities 3 nights this week and I have not been able to keep up with my routines. So today I am jumping in feet first and going to my house back in order. List for the next couple of hours.
Wash clothes -- 4 loadsLoad DishwasherReturned kitchen clutter to the norm, and cleaned a bit.Clean bathroomTape molding in son's b-roomGoing to chat.
CI 10:35 Brunch has been served and I have cookie dough ready to bake. Not sure what my "next best step is" It all has to get done. So next I will check to see if I can wash and then clean bathroom. Once I finish bathroom it will be time to motivate the kides to help clean up the rest of the house. Back to chat
CI 12:30 got a bit side tracked "surfing" bathroom is done 1st load of wash in dryer 2nd washing about 3 maybe 4 more to go. Now to put clothes away and get kids to help p/u livingroom. (Cookies)
CI 2:05 kids are outside working hard (playing) could not bare to pull them away from their play to make them do house work, they need the down time and the time together. I can get them to help p/u livingroom after supper. Load 3 of wash is washing load 2 is drying. Next tape up son's bedroom so I can prime wall before I paint.
CI 4:50 room taped up, cooked eggs for tomorrow, last load of clothes in dryer. Time to start folding the leaning tower of unfolded clothes. Get kids to help put clothes away, they will not want to but I have "Suger Cookies" that they can decorate with icing and sprinkles once we get done and eat supper.

Hi Pro Buddies!
This afternoon I am supposed to start painting the small bedroom. To make this happen, I need to do errands this morning. CI updates will be needed to keep me rolling along, so you may have from me again today lol.
10:15am. Bathroom swishies were minimal, but I did them. Ate oatmeal. Washed clothes. Could I have left my high blood pressure medicine at work? I'll keep looking. Took potassium tablet. Did errand. Bought provisions for the week. Put gas in car. Bought postage stamps. Carried groceries and supplies inside. Put washed clothes in dryer. Oh, last night I did get the 75% off Valentine candy. It wasn't the name brand that I wanted, but I think I have gotten enough to make it through until 75% off Easter candy ;)
Going to the paint store needs to still be a priority. But I need to do a number of other [small] chores: some prep to paint, some meal-related, rec. I'll start with some things, then hope updating my CI will show progress & direction.
11:25. Made coleslaw. Washing & drying another load of clothes. Re-packaged some food items for storage containers. Fixed and ate messy but simple early lunch.
Not taking high blood pressure medicine makes me a little sleepy. I think the best strategy will be to putter around. I want to keep moving around, ideally with a goal of going to the paint store around 3pm.
1:19pm. I found the bottle of high blood pressure medicine. It had fallen off of a table & rolled over to one side. Fortunately I had continued washing/drying dishes; when I was drying some glasses, I was at the right angle to see the bottle next to the wall! I'm still a little phased from not taking it on time, but oh well.
1:40pm. Changing to Plan B. I think my goal to paint today is unrealistic. Even if I bought the paint, I still need to do clear some areas, clean, etc. Plus, I can find paint swatches, but not the ones I am looking for. ((sigh)) I think I will continue to pace myself during regular chores, before going to an activity tonight.
I also need to walk across the street to the rental condo to help with the programmable thermostat. I just feel kind of low energy at the moment. Higher Power, 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.
4:40pm. I re-set the programmable thermostat to the best of my ability -- now we will see if it cooperates ;) Now I am heating up dinner, before going to an activity this evening.
10:48. Back from activity. Up late with hobby news. Must. Try. To. Go. To. Sleep.
Have a great day! :)
