Hi Sam :) Just commenting so you know it's me!
Agnus checking in
Greetings gang! I am really really tired despite a good night's sleep and average physical activity, so methinks that kidney punch really did leave a mark. At least on my energy levels. So easy-does-it today. Even though I had it on my list, I forgot to mail my mom's bday card so I'll be ordering flowers today - a big expense but she's definitely worth the amends for her 86th bday!
Personal stuff first thing:
Work Stuff:
Scribbler's CI
I had a great laid-back day yesterday, but I need to be productive today. Money problems continue, my industry is engaged in a paroxysm of change that raises the question of whether my lifelong career is even viable any longer, my desk is a mess. So, today:
Prep
Get upbefore 7 (missed this by nearly 2 hours)Coffee, paper, healthy breakfast,water plants
CheckinsMorning
Send queryAdd 5 to music booker dbDeliver meals on wheelsAfternoon
Healthy lunchStraighten deskEvening
Mow lawn(rained out - move to tomorrow)Healthy dinnerI got distracted today when a set of songs I'd recorded showed up from the recording engineer. I spent a couple of hours putting those up on MySpace and sending out some emails to music bookers. I'm pretty excited about this but I would do better to focus on actual money-earning work right now, I think. Then I saw a good deal on a music gadget I wanted to buy, and spent an hour meeting up with the seller to buy it. This was after taking another hour to meet with somebody about buying the van I'm selling. So, not much got done on the CIO packs I want to complete before the end of the month. All in all, I'm somewhat dissatisfied with myself today, especially considering I've taken the last three days off work. I'll try to get a couple more tasks done this evening, and hit it again tomorrow.

It's been a little while since I've checked in. Last week was so busy I didn't have time to procrastinate! LOL! and then off for a little vacation to the beach. Wonderful... Yesterday was pretty lousy as far as getting stuff done, but I'm determined to grab hold of the beast and get some stuff done! Here's my list for today:
There are some scary tasks on there today but I'm determined to break them down into small, doable bits.

Journey 8:40
Here's the list for today:
email - 30 minutesPrepare for tomorrow's meeting - 2 hours - took more like 4 hoursReview the paperwork from similar projectDraft timelineSet meeting agendaProject V - Review AP - 1 hourFind Training Material on S. website - 30 minutes1 personal financial task - 10 minutesTake vitaminsFiling - 10 minutes10:11: Having a real hard time with planning for tomorrow's meeting, I've done the easy parts but now I gotta make some decisions and figure some stuff out. This is a new project and getting started is always hard for me. Breaking it down a bit more and bookending here: Match dates with planning calendar from last time this type of project was done, so I can see how it should fit together. I should be done with this by 11:00, I'll check back then!
11:00 It's not done, but I have a really good reason. I got called in to look at a problem and I FIXED IT! (pats self on back) After that self-esteem boost, back to the boring planning calendar. check back in 30.
11:30 that part is done, now try to do the same with my new project and this year's planning calendar. Back in 30.
1 pm - done, and have a tentative timeline to propose tomorrow. Now I just gotta write it up in a nice lookin' agenda document and I'm done. Took MUCH longer than the two hours I estimated. And it was hard. I feel successful
.
2pm agenda sent !
I am sort of awesome today. I won't get to everything on my list because it took twice as long as I thought to get ready for this meeting. So, I am less than awesome at estimating time.

@ Rexroth
My sympathies - We haven't had party-crazy neighbors for awhile but we've had neighbors with endlessly yapping dogs, and one who thought it funny to have a pet rooster in suburbia. Stressed by its unfamiliar surrounds, it crowed around the clock until the neighbor apparently gave it up.
It's a raw deal to feel so tired and discouraged as a result of others' misbehavior; hope you feel better as the day progresses. At least you know you're feeling better today than the young man on the neighbor's porch last night ...
Thank you Agnus
Thank you Agnus it is now evening and I'm glad I've got done what I needed to.

hey Lucky
What is a "Rat cuddle"? Several of us here have extreme pets but do you actually have rats that enjoy people-hugs? (Some days I'd use that term to describe hugging my spouse, lol!)
I do have rats and they do
:D I do have rats and they do like being taken out of their cage and cuddled (obviously you can't give a rat a massive bear hug, it's too small, but they like to sit on me and so on... well, two of them do, the third is a bit shy.)
Pet rats
We don't currently have any pet rats and probably won't any time soon since we are overrun with gigantic dogs, but rats make great pets and when we get old enough to 'downsize' I plan to have them again. They are very smart and affectionate. The two rats we had for a long time even had pet names for us, they would make a certain noise when my daughter approached them and a certain noise for me.
I would only play with them in the designated play area, but my daughter could carry them around the house on her shoulder, and they'd sit in her lap to watch tv. I definitely recommend them for apartment pets!
