Wednesday 23rd June 2010

Well folks, after a decent Monday and first e-check-in, things got predictably unravelled last 36 hrs, but then again they did not (urgent medical appts and ensuing priorities)

So despite this posting being "old news" and easily dragging me down ("oh I have to iron out those old tasks," in this case, "old" being a wed 23rd post), I feel weirdly COMPELLED to explain myself re: last 36 hours.

MUST DO AND I DID: -- get son's fractured arm in cast, arrange follow-up, explain reasons to him on missing some fun thing, take him out of school for a while for a special treat since he's so dejected, and figure out game plan to tape the cast and have some fun rest of this wk.....I could count these as separate or as big-lump-sum (and I know THAT does not matter.....as long as it was done....WOW....that pleasant realization is suspiciously weird to me)

MUST DO AND I DID:  -- convey and summarize a necessary self-medical history that was not easy....

MUST DO: but DID NOT (1) those darned bills.....and wouldn't you know it, last night the electrical power went out for 4 hours in neighborhood, so I actually had A LEGIT REASON in not being able to do call in OR check-in OR billsso as to do candles/air-conditioner checks/etc .......and THAT put me in unproductive spin (2) order tires (3) get email files for job hunt prepped (4) do dishes (wife picked up the slack....as always)  (5) follow-up with realtor (6) settle laundry/clothes (7) sleep at reasonable time

WHAT I DID - NICE BUT NOT VITAL (1) healthy email language banter with colleague & new friend on our organization & issues of the day and humor (2) attend an appreciation luncheon (for me and others) to recap school year and my/our contributions (3) wrap up some later-in-the-week-due tasks to not make next 48 hours so pressured (even though no logical reason they should be...BUT they are) (4) follow up to  organizing a support group meeting (scheduling has been a challenge) as it might impact this week/weekend (5) reshuffle dental appts for kiddos this wk and (6) initial thoughts for summertime move

WHAT I DID NOT AND RIGHTLY IGNORED: (1) gym/pool class since just could not get there (2) sweeping floor (3) detailed job hunt plan (4) writing down medical history to help articulate it

So I was productive but frankly it did not feel that way since much was ad-hoc!... I can't figure that out. (In the past, I would have been gloating over myself.)

 Show up (done)

Sometimes the only way through a hump is a tunnel, but they still can get you to the other side, don't give up.

Check out -- I was productive today, didn't spend too much time procrastinating. What did happen though is that I mainly did 'less' important tasks and did not do some important ones. I really should either transfer my to-do list to paper or try to read this page more often. Hopefully I don't regret the fail of today.

Forgot to even add "Call Dr. P" to my list. Need to add to tomorrow's list.

If I have more time, I'll work on my quals proposal for an hour or so. 

Hi fellows,

Last night was a bust, because me and Yoffee ran into people and dog friends and there the night went. Guests are coming Saturday, so it's going to be a crazy Thursday and Friday, as usual, cleaning & cooking at the last minute and killing myself. No cleaning tonight, as I'm in the City.

Anyway, thank you Goal Allegro for the starters and thank you ndb (Nicole) for your help at the beginning of the week, it's changed the way I do things using the egg timer. Also, I was feeling kind of lost on this site, feeling hated (which is my past, but still my present some times) and there you were Nicole, so you helped in more ways then you can know.

List:
-order Yofee nail clippers & toothpaste (Friday)
-getting info on call woman re: $
-order meds (Friday)
-call women re: job
-call Vermont Dr. and see if he'll prescribe Yoffee's antibiotics
-pick up her meds from the City?

♥Prayers & guidance needed & appreciated for my Yoffee's healing.

Didn't get to sleep until the early hours of the morning and woke very early. I'm feeling very excited about the developments in my legal/business issues. These are the ones were effectively finished and this is an extra but very much in my interests. When it is all over I'll post about it.

Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Check emails etc
Start clearing stuff in kitchen
Look in cupboard for legal info

Todo:
Rest I am tired
Finish cleaning and clearing in kitchen and throw some stuff out
Look up legal info on the web as I think I've thrown out the leaflet
Bath and wash hair
Check papers and vaccination record for medical appointment
Go to see doctor

That will do for now

Regards Rexroth

Okay, let's try again. Monday was quite productive, yesterday was horrible (partly due to the fact that I had to travel 4 hours to a not very productive 2-hour meeting), so today should be better.

My todo-list is rather long, so I'm not posting it here, but I'll update on my progress during the day, just like I did on Monday.

Nicole
