Please do not leave advice.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome. 

                                                                                                          

I need to make some bottomlines.  Some like ways in which I need to live my life. A life plan, of what I deem to do.

  • I read my goals and affirmations everyday.
  • I brush my teeth and use listerine each morning.
  • I brush my teeth, I floss, I use listerine and a periodontic brush before bed.
  • I get six hours of sleep every night. 
  • I exercise once a day for at least thirty minutes. 
  • I come on time for classes and appointments.  I show up for classes and appointments.
  • I had in assignments on time.
  • I brush my hair before leaving in the morning and I always look presentable.

I have to avoid the following sites for the next five weeks that I am in school.  I can use them on and after December 17th:

  • saynow.com and their associated fan lines
  • facebook.com (I shall deactivate the account by October 30th).
  • dailymotion.com
  • youtube.com
  • shanedawsontv.com and any other youtube celebrity fan sites
  • okcupid.com, plentyoffish.com, pof.com
  • twitter.com, livejournal.com, deadjournal.com, any form of public blogging that is not a movie review

This idea of posting achievements, instead of a tasklist that I can 'fail to do perfectly', is SO WORKING! Will you look at what I did today! And if I hadn't been doing things this way I would certainly have considered this an imperfect, fail-ridden day. I'm actually starting to see what people mean when they say I'm perfectly capable and just don't realise it.
Don't bother too much about reading all the work tasks, as they won't make much sense - though it is a glimpse into the bitty life of a PA - 'no such thing as a typical day'...

Hi Pro Buddies!

Before going to the gym this morning, I started the dishwasher, and took the trash out.

At the gym, I did my cardio, stretches, and ab exercises.

This morning I answered email and went to staff meeting. After staff meeting, I went through all new projects and transferred them in priority order to my assignment list. Ate lunch at my desk in prep for repairman-time-away this afternoon. After eating, I worked on my highest priorities, & did a quick meeting to ask questions to someone.

Repairman called, so I went to the condo. I puttered around while he did routine maintenance on washer/dryer.

Received email: Company coming this weekend! Yay!!! :) Wheee!!! :) Ooops, I'm a procrastinator & the guest room is in shambles!!! Aiieeee!!!! Oh my gosh!!! ((begins cleaning condo with a passion))

Tonight I am going out to a meeting in one of my other 12-step programs. I can get a little more done before I go out.

Have a great night, everyone! :)

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

Today so far I've worked on my homework and gone to class.

MITs for today are:
*Make a schedule for the week
*Do realtime PCR
*If realtime PCR works: make slide of results
If it doesn't: talk to labmates/look into how to troubleshoot
*Do 1 problem from take-home midterm
*Microburst website updates
*Email TL, DP and LL

If I have extra time, I'll do an extra problem from the midterm and work more on the website, and maybe try a few review problems as well

OK, right now I'm going to start on the realtime PCR. Back when that's running.

I've been at my desk since 7:30 but found myself getting caught up in Facebook, my personal blog, other non-essential stuff.

Now I'll get a cup of coffee and then look at my task list.
