OCz very late check in!
I was reading some posts before leaving home tonigth... and I was thinking "I had a very busy day today, didn0t even had time to check in at PA"
While this is true, It was quite a busy day: two systems failed, I had to reply a seemingly endless mail chain and also deliver the financial reports I had in my yesterday MUT list (which I did't even started), It doesn't mean the day has to end like this.
So, here I am, late, but still showing up!
Have a great day tomorrow!

well, i suppose it's to be expected. Day b4 Thanksgiving and all. Who can work? Who can focus? Even my boss called me on her way to the grocery store to buy more food for tomorrow's traditional American binge day!
I want to thank my Higher Power and friends here for something specific: I'm on Day 10 of installing the new habit of getting out the front door in my gym clothes every morning. Someone posted a link here while back that inspired me to try this approach. I have to do a few subtasks of preparation such as getting my gym clothes and shoes ready the night before, but so far I've been able to overcome the very minimal resistance this generates. After 21 days of this, I plan to step up to actually getting in the truck and driving to the gym. Who knows, I might eventually get out of the truck and go into the gym! LOL
Besides that and a good Step 11, I planned food, wrote some 4th Step, called my sponsor, did pet care, self care, some laundry, replied to some work-related emails, cleaned out other emails, and spent 2 hours finalizing plans for a trip.
I still need to go to
, go to the produce store, make banana bread, produce 2 AH hours, 
I'll check back in this evening to say how it's going. Happy Thanksgiving to those in the States, and an equally warm (a bit too humid, actually! :-)) hug from the Southern U.S. to everyone.
make a trip folder,find the specialist envelopecheck Project EM status
. I also want tomicroburst one of five scary paperwork piles.6:15pm - the urgent need to find the specialist envelope generated a microburst on the piles,
which itself generated a major sorting 
and now I am about to log a small pile of medical receipts,
then file another small pile
, then re-sort a medium-sized pile of bills,
and pay the most urgent ones 
before I go to the produce store. This feels like good progress. Thanks for being here!

wishing you courage and peace of mind Rexroth.
(besides, who would ever look forward to an op.? It sounds like you've done a lot of things to be able to be a friend to yourself afterwards.)
rexroth-
Asking my Higher Power to inspire your medical team to do a great job, and to treat you with dignity and respect...May tomorrow be such that, at the end of the day, your doctor is saying to him/herself, "Wow, this day has been a highlight of my career!"

Another few days of backsliding, fueled by the pileup of stuff that freezes me up and leads me to dither.
Two other things further complicate things today:
1) I might be needed to do childcare for an ill friend who has an important medical appointment. I've volunteered to go to their house, because my own son (the buddy of their kids) is at school today and theirs aren't.
2) It will be a short day anyway.
In the last several days I've let things that are good in themselves -- a personal blog, reading other blogs that are in themselves worthwhile, and a hobby of mine that I've get re-energized about -- take over my time too much.
So.
Right now I will check personal email. Then business email. Then I will do things on my task list and strive to stay focused.
Update, 4:35 PM
A few things checked off on my list, but not much.
giving myself the rest of the day and all tomorrow off.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
