Hi Pro Buddies!
This morning at the gym I did my full cardio, stretching, and ab exercises.
At the office this morning, I began working down my to-do list. I did a project for a boss; it may have to be re-done at some point in the future, but that's ok! We were communicating about it, but somehow didn't end up with the same time table.
At lunchtime, I bought a sandwich, did an online errand/paid a bill, and went in a quiet room for a few minutes meditation. After lunch I continued to work on my assignment list. We still have people out on vacation, so I made calendar notes about a few items to check with staff when they return. At the end of the day my project list is looking good. Tomorrow I will go over the assignment list, then I think I can edit one of those once-a-year projects that I do when I have time.
A year ago I had planned to buy 2 pairs of shoes, but I didn't; so I bought equivalent pairs tonight. I also picked up a cosmetic pre-purchase, and bought one other item. Arriving at home, I started a load of clothes to wash, and have also fixed & eaten dinner. Next: continue with washing/drying clothes; I think I will run the dishwasher, too ;) I'm eye-ing a stack of stuff in the living room. I think I will move some of it arournd; I'm not sure if I will finish moving all of it tonight, but maybe I can get a good start on it.
8:25pm. Stacks of stuff sprawling across an area of the floor are reduced to a so-so pile on one chair. I also dried, folded & put away the washed clothes, and took a bag of trash to the dumpster. Really, that's enough for tonight. If I do a little more on that stack tonight, that would be great, but not required ;) Next: write an email to a friend, then brush teeth!
Have a great night, everyone! :)

Finally got my car today. Our tenant (mechanic)was supposed to bring it out yesterday and did not show, went to work today with my husban at 6 (got up at 4) and after the gym, tried to call tenant and no one picked up phone. I guess he was sleeping He fianally called me back and came out with the car and I had to drive him back. I made some stops and got home after 1. I am happy I got the car. I did not want to keep relying on him and not get it. , so (car done)I am tired and need to stay away from negative/judgemental thoughts. Got alot done yesterday, thanks to being able to keep moving and not shut down (all because HP and this site).I need to rest a bit now, then dinner for husband, go to town.

A bit late to lab today...I finished up budgeting/bills this morning that I hadn't quite gotten through yesterday.
Another busy day today.
MITs:
*Talk to MG about getting mice, retinoid injections (will do this next)
*Work on VAD/RA injection proposal:
->Write embryonic ovary section (working on this now)
->Finish section on analysis methods
->Clean up section on dosage, finish choosing response genes
->microburst sequencing section
*Work on G's project:
->
spend 1 hr figuring out how to download stuff programmatically from Transfac (I think maybe there's a cookie issue? but I'm not sure)->download relevant bg seqs
*Call/email miniparish+deacons
*Email DG(will do this next)
Other tasks:
*email re: renters insurance,email re: raffle tickets, email Kevin *2
*microburst es. taxes

I'll start by working on downloading from transfac. I'll limit this to an hour (b/c it could easily become an infinite time sink...)

OK, haven't been quite as productive as I would like, so I'll need to do some work after I get home from dinner, but I haven't been too bad either. I wrote embryonic ovary section, microbursted sequencing section and mostly finished cleaning up dosage section.
I also did some tasks that were not on the list but that I decided were important...taked to SS and MG about sequencing protocol, and talked to TE about animal protocol addition.
After dinner, I'll have some quick tasks:
*
Call DC (one of the deacons)(10 min)*
Email other deacons(10 min)*
Email miniparish members w/ email access (it'll be a little late when I get home, so I think I'll need to put off calling until tomorrow) (10 min)*
Start bg seq downloads (20 min)*Email DG (20 min)
*Finish cleaning up dosage section (too tired to do this tonight but I did microburst, will finish up in the morning)
Than, in any remaining time I have this evening, I'll work on the analysis methods section. I probably won't get done with it tonight, but that's not a crisis.

Ended up falling asleep early yesterday and didn't finish my to-dos. Feeling a bit under the weather, but have to go to work regardless.
For now won't post a list of to-dos. Will see how today goes before deciding. Leaving for work now.
