Hi pro buddies,

Whew.  I got my medical procedure scheduled for the end of the month.  A dear friend offered to go with me for the scary test that I have to go for before that.  And my therapist had a cancellation this evening, so I was able to make a last-minute appointment to go collapse into a shivering little ball of stress in his office for a while.  Which helped. . . sometimes it's good to just ride out the stress with a sympathetic person, and find whatever strength is at the bottom of it.

Tonight, the most important things are to:

• Drink some warm milk - DONE
• Get clothes together for tomorrow - DONE
• Change into pjs - DONE
• Do a little stretching
• Brush teeth, etc. - DONE
• Spend a few minutes meditating/practicing - STARTED and fell asleep!
• Get to bed- On my way to do this. . . GOOD NIGHT!

Edited to add:  Wow.  Amazing how I'm fighting myself on doing such a few simple things. . . that are for taking care of myself!  O.k., taking a deep breath. . . going to put on pjs and brush my teeth.  I can handle that. . . really! 

Hi Pro Buddies!

This morning I drove uptown, went to the gym, did my cardio, ab exercises, and stretching.

At work I responded to emails and did some projects on my list. At lunchtime I had planned to go to an activity, but needed to go on a walk, so I did that instead, then ate lunch. In the afternoon, I focused on upcoming deadline projects, and ticked those one by one off my list.

Arriving at home, I went on another walk, then wrote 2 emails to friends. Also tonight, my condo building is having a party in the condo atrium. A DJ is playing Buddha Lounge-type music that I like.

Next: I need to do a fun project that won't take long, but will help me get ready for an event I am hostessing this weekend. So that means ... yep, that's right, I am dragging my feet & putting off working on it. ((sigh)) Strategy: I will do it, then update my post that I have done it. OK, I can do 1 Web Surf, then my next goal will be making the prop.

9:05pm. Ok, I made the prop. While not great, it will be functional. I also did a couple things on Interent & email that should help me get ready. Next: I have a load of clothes in the washer -- I need to hang those up, then I can go to sleep.

Have a great night, everyone!

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

I have had trouble staying focused on a "to-do" list lately as my days have been chopped up , time-wise, due to meetings and appointments. I have revised draft letter to I, need to finalize it and fax it today. Also need to work on JB file a bit more and get revised docs out. That it all for now to try to keep focused on the important tasks first.

Hi everyone,

I finally finished that stupid zimbabwe paper for economics. Got an email today from my econ teacher saying I had been dropped from the class because i missed class last week. >:-/  grrrrr. I missed class because I was working on a final project for a different class. I know its my own fault, but I still feel angry about it.

I'll post more later, I have things to do before I leave for class tonight... 

good morning and lovely thread starter, Chick! It is a great reminder of what works when I work it. It is rainy and bleak here today: even the dog doesn't want to get out of bed, but I am up and showered, dressed and futon made up. simple routines are beginning to become natural to me and I am so grateful to have had the time not working to begin to relearn how to live. I worked a lot yesterday on a long standing, yet not urgent project yesterday and my head feels clearer for it. However, there are important priorities I have been ducking that I would like to get through today, if only for 15 minutes. As I know that my own ideas are likely to lead me down the wrong path, I am asking my hp for the help in doing the next right thing. Which for right now is to find my medication, take it, drink some water and get out with the dog before I eat breakfast. bbl.

God's biggest gift to me is the forgiveness and another start- thanks for reminding me with the beautiful starting message. I try to teach that to my children because I was never taught this. Thank you for the reminder.

Ok, I lost my journal, 1 of my meditation books, list, etc. etc.But I will start with my 1 meditation book, write the list and staple it to my journal when I find it. At least I could check in this site, and I will start where I am and not spend hours looking for things and berating myself.

I will check in later. Starting from here. Thanks for being here.

Good morning everyone!  Back in the office today after two days working at home.  Yesterday was ok, I did all of my high priority items but didn't get to the lower priority items on my list and I thought I had planned well.   Some things took longer than I planned, and I spent more time goofing off than I planned  but on the whole it was an ok day.

Today, I want to review the results of last night's test and do some follow up on some issues we had - not problems really but some unexplained differences that need to be resolved before we can install this stuff in production. 

I also want to track my spending against my budget this month, as i haven't really been doing that lately.  I'll work on this for 15 minutes sometime today. 

I want to reinstall the BZ product today, I've been planning to do that since I got my new laptop months ago and it keeps falling off my todo list because it is low priority.   I have it hokeyed up so it mostly works, but I really want to get this done right.

Also call the doc for results of my blood tests, he thought my thyroid tests were a bit off last year and he may put me on some thyroid meds this year.  I'm looking forward to finding out about that because he said having hypothyroid (sp?) could cause fatigue and weight gain and although I feel fine, I'd be'd real happy with more energy and less weight haha!

I'm going for coffee, prepare for my 9:30 meeting, then write up the minutes of that meeting.  Then I'll be in the chatbox.   I have a 10:00 assembler coding class that a coworker is doing for our group, but I think I'll blow it off today since I missed this entire lesson anyway.   I'll pick it again next week.

Your day starter is one I desperately need to take in.

I've got to finish Project E today. I got very little done on it yesterday. 

And I keep distracting myself and running away from it.

But today is a new day and I can forgive myself ane make a new start.

Nice quotes Sarito.

This morning was a bit muddled as anticipated. But now...

1. QuickR/EDMS training
2. work on information notes - mine, then others

But a fair bit of procrastinating along the way
