Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We
were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not
just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates
others.

On my To-do list today:
fudo_shin - please put username and time in check-in subjects.
Please put your username and the time in check-in subjects - just "To Do List" is confusing when scanning the "recent comments" list. If everyone did that, you couldn't find anything. Guidelines for check-in posts are here:

I fixed it again (third time) in this post.

I have two days of abstaining from the websites! My next "chip" is in a week. This is really a bit deal.
'Right now what I need in order to feel good and be effective again
is to face the things that need to be accomplished so that I can get
over this "hurdle" that causes me to feel lack of esteem. I am going
to avoid the following sites for one day, then a week, then a month:
chatting site. MMORPGs count as "chat sites". IRC. The only
exception is 12 step-related chat.
fudo_shin - corrected check-in subject (4th time)
4th time had to correct check-in subject to include username (at minimum) and time.

Will have to work a lot tonight to make up for time I'm having to take off today - family reunion this afternoon - God has brought me a long way in the last year of being separated so my emotions are more healed and it will be ok to go - thank God for progress!
Happy overcoming Saturday to all!
e's bumpy Saturday
Hello All,
So far, some done. I paid bills, most of which were late and I am frustrated by that. I have not set up automatic payments for them because we don't have income right now, but boy, I may have just zapped my credit rating! Not good! Asking HP for help to let go of what I cannot change.
I am up, splash-bathed and walked Patches the Dog, ate breakfast and am making headway. Facing facts has not been my strong point in the past, but I am doing a better job of it.
Today: make sure I have all papers needed for the residency appeal and photocopy and send them. I have to certify the tax forms and don't know if that means they must be notarized or what.
Then, read through the financial aid stuff.
I would like to garden for a half an hour, see my sister for some fun, clean out all my crap from C's bedroom, do the laundry, make the yummy dinner I planned for yesterday, but instead went out for supper instead, and get to a meeting. It would particularly nice to vacuum the dining room, as Patches the Dog has made it his and it is beginning to smell like him.....

So far this morning, I've cleaned the kitchen, done budgeting and had a healthy breakfast.
I'm doing some social things today (dim sum with friends around 11, leave for lab cookout at 4ish, call AG), and also want to get some work done. In particular, I want to:
*Write up transplantation expts and VAD expts
*Finish sig. analysis for MC
*List of Qs about TA, committee, quals
*Fathers day card
If I get done with these, I can do one or more of the following:
*Clean bathroom
*Write up QC+compendium+suggestions
*Get Ogburn papers on irradiation
*Draft deacon letter
*Memorize stages.
*Summarize dataset list and come up with wishlist
OK, right now I'm going to finish the sig. analysis: should take me about an hour. Then it'll probably be about time to go to dim sum, but if I have expra time I can start working on list of questions.
Update 1:30--almost done w/ sig. analysis for MC, went to dim sum. Now I'm going to work on writing up transplantation expts and VAD expts. I'll work on this in the chatbox. Hope to be done by 3:30ish.
Journey 8 am happy and sad
Today is my mom's 80th birthday and tomorrow is the first Father's Day without Daddy. I'm having the family over tomorrow, so I gotta get busy on the housework and shopping!
I haven't exercised since my little illness Thursday so I'll ease back into it today with a walk on the treadmill, then make a grocery list and head over to Mom's.

thanks everyone
for the good wishes for the first Father's Day w/o Dad. We all stayed busy with the party and had a good time. And the 2-week old new granddaughter was there being adorable, so good times were had by all, including Mom.

Hi Pro Buddies!
I am back from my bike ride. I've already eaten breakfast, brushed my teeth, and done some bathroom swishies. Next: buy provisions at the store, then get ready for company. I hope to update my CI later.
5:50pm EST. Summary: despite strong Emotional PMS/anxiety, I managed to hostess & interact appropriately with family.
After getting back from the store, I put items in the refrigerator and freezer.
[somewhat humorous?] From painting the living room the other weekend, I had procrastinated about putting the lightswitch & outlet cover plates back on the wall, so I ran around like mad -- successfully getting those in place before company arrived. Yay! :)
The visit by company: overall it went well. I was a little subdued by the anxiety and an issue that I didn't feel like discussing with the company. We had lunch (and later, dessert), and they liked those. My aunt likes for me to cut her hair, so I did that, and it turned out ok. My dad was ok with the Father's Day gifts that I had gotten him.
After they left, I collapsed on the bed, and alternated napping & laying there in a daze. Even though I wanted their visit, I didn't really have the emotional energy for today. However, made it through. They did ok, I did ok.
I have just cooked & eaten dinner. I have an unchallenging social activity for tonight, so I think I can show up for it in casual clothes and hang out.
Tomorrow is overall a "free" day; that gives me hope of continuing to unwind.
Have a great day, everyone! :)

I feel like I need to put this quotation up on my refrigerator or make it my desktop background or screensaver. I need to reread that again.... done. I especially like: 'Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure...Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine...' I feel like I really need those particular words. So often I have hid my aspirations, ambitions and accomplishments (Even from myself), so as to motivate myself or to make myself fit into someone else's idea of who I ought to be (my love addiction).
