Yesterday I started off well and then got wrapped up in something stupid online and didn't move for two hours. Uggh.
UPDATE: I did not finish one of the tasks I'd planned for today plus one that was left over from my procrastination yesterday. But otherwise it was a very productive day. I'm satisfied because I actually completed the resume cover letter which I'd only planned to start today. I had some momentum and decided not to waste any of it since I'd really been dreading this task. I'm going to bed feeling good tonight!
Agnus checking in
Goodness, I started out so busy I never checked in...already finalized one major project, working toward finalizing another and starting a third. Posting descrips will take too much time but I am going to chat now because, as I near the end of the second project, I'm feeling a crawl comin' on...and I need to keep cranking.

Good Morning all!
Today working on cleaning my house 15 minutes at a time.
Also going to take half an hour to work on my resume.
My mom is coming over so I am stressed, but I am just going to keep on doing what is in front of me to be done, (see above), and leave the results up to God.
Thanks for being here!

GeorgeSmiley, 4/27/10, 7:38 AM + Update 1:04 PM
Good morning.
I'll have a half-day in my home office this AM, then the other half on visits for interviews. I might forget to do a check-out update because of leaving early.
The big project this week will be project MR, which I hope to finish drafting by Friday.
Some progress today on this; 
but not on anything else
Other tasks as well.
I should work on Project MW some today.
And I also have to finish up Project PQE this week.
And I just have this feeling that it would be easy to shift into putting-everything off mode and just go surf the net.
So I need to get started pronto.

Journey grumpy pants
Good morning I guess. I ain't really feelin' it this morning. I'm feeling kinda burned out this week. I'm taking Friday off, and leaving early tomorrow for a dentist appt and a haircut. I really feel like I need a break.
But anyway I've been to the gym, checked email and calendar and I'm going to make a plan - a fairly easy plan but a plan nonetheless, then sneak away from the work lappy to grab a shower. I'm sure I'll feel better after some food and coffee and a shower, or at least if I stay busy the day will go by fast, right? I just want it to be over so I can go back to bed . . .my mom would say "Don't wish your life away!"

My friend once lived in the Philippines where locals have a saying, "I'm moo-soo today." It means just feeling out of sorts for no particular reason. We should adopt this into the English language, although I prefer your "grumpy pants" term! lol
Cheer up, jo...we love you and as you know, this too shall pass...

moo soo!
I like it!

e's moo soo, too
e the grump is me today. I missed my phone check out last night and have been kicking myself about it all day. Not enough sleep last night, woke late. What I think I really need is a big hug and to forgive myself. What I would like is a large box of chocolates and a good novel. and now I am angry at someone and upset at someone else's choices and am not feeling civil at all. This too shall pass.
So, now to focus on what is good. The laundry is in order, the kitchen is clean, dinner is settled, I accomplished a yucky task today. I have been struggling to do paperwork in little bits and little bits have been accomplished.
For the next five minutes I will make a program call and then regroup.

Helen's CI
I had a very bad day yesterday. Planned to decorate but instead was immobile with procrastination. I was feeling bad and gave myself a hard time because I had made a mistake in my judgement about a group of people I was involved with. I shall not be going back as what they are about is not for me. That is fine and at least I didn't plunge headlong into it (almost but not quite) and get involved in something impulsively. Instead I checked it out and have decided to walked away. It was not an particularly easy decision as I am really lonely and that I am feeling the pain of that loneliness keenly. I could do with some friends and a social life but somehow that seems difficult to find. (sigh)
Oh well, I won't give up. I'll keep trying new things. I self-isolate and procrastinate about being social but no procrastinator is an island, right? This evening I am joining a creative writers' workshop. That might perk me up a bit.
So this afternoon, it is afternoon already and I am still in my dressing gown, tsk , I will
1. Bathe
2. Sort my clothes out
3. Do the washing up
4. Wash a wall.
5. Attend workshop
Keep on getting out of the house...
... and eventually you will find friends. I have personal experience from self-isolation but the way I could turn it around was to get out of the house and actually meet people, go to social events, make first contact etc, even when I did not feel like it (and I did never actually feel like it if I were going to meet more than one person at the same time).But like with most fears, the more you expose yourself, the more comfortable you will feel with the situation. You can do it Helen! :D
