Yes, it's 6:41pm on Monday evening here in California, and I am opening up the Tuesday thread. Why? Because as far as *I* am concerned, it's now officially Tuesday. So there. Too early? Don't do this again? Just let me know. But right now, let me start this new day off, and fire the opening shot. Thanks, gang.

Blew off:
Can't think of a single response :D
Feeding Baby.
LOL... No worries... Gettin it done got it done. The little sweetheart didn't go hungry. The Dishes were a good trade. If you ask me , I'd much rather feed the babe than do the dishes almost any day. :)
doing the dishes
I find doing dishes rather meditative and relaxing - warm water, satisfaction of making them clean. I've never owned a dish washer in my life.
Maybe I'm strange?
Nah-
Youre not nuts. The warm water is nice, and there are lots of people out there that prefer to wash by hand for that reason. DH's granpa was like that. sometimes i wonder why bother with the dishwasher, because with most of them you have to wash the dishes before washing the dishes anyway.
Dishwasher = Built-In Automatic Procrastination
By hand, they get done, finished, complete.
Using the dishwasher, on the other hand, you you end up walking away knowing that the dishes will still have to be unloaded later.
Or you live like most people, using the dishwasher as a cupboard, and never knowing for sure if the dishes in it are clean or dirty.
PS Clearly I am focused on the big picture in life.
dish drains
You don't have to unload a dishwasher when you wash by hand, but you have to unload the dish drain. That's not so hard - it's part of my routines. I empty the dish drain when I get up in the morning, and empty it before washing dishes after each meal.

On reflection, I decided to stick to plan and do the Pilates before I start work. Pilates mat work is like a dance that you learn. You can't do the full dance at first, so you do a modified dance, and work your way up to the full dance. I like dance and I like the idea of graceful movements moving one into the other (as opposed to calisthenics), and this is supposed to be sufficient to make you fit, so I'm trying it. It will take a while to learn and in the beginning I'll be doing a lot of reading, so I'll adjust my expectations - I won't expect a great workout on Day 1.
pro's CI - 7:55am
I decided that after my morning routine and before I do anything else today, I need to finish my business transition. It's hanging over my head. I want to start learning Pilates today, but I'll do it after work rather than before.

EDITORIAL:
This is the hard stuff. Hard to decide WHAT to do, not necessarily hard TO do. Case in point: its almost 930pm, time to try to wind down, do something I enjoy. But the 7-to-9pm stuff isnt finished yet - and clearing the desk seems major. Gribbet, gribbet. So postpone it, right? Problem is, it's the desk-clutter here at home, and at work, and the email-backlog, that shut me down today, for example. These "preliminaries" that seem to last forever suck the fun out of work like a vampire sucking blood. (To be continued!)

thanks for starting the new day thread!
Milo in Australia will be happy to see the thread already here when she checks in (it's tomorrow earlier there).
I added a lovely graphic to the thread starter. It's so nice to be greeted by a lovely graphic. :)
graphic dexterity
thanks, Pro
I couldnt "copy" the "tuesday" graphic in order to paste it into the post.
Do i have to save it to disk, and then do something or other with it?
And is this something easy, or should i just rely on others here? if it involves bytes, pixels, or adobe-anything, could y'all handle it, please?
Use html
You have to use html. Go to 'Graphics for Forum posts' and at the top pro has put a sample line of html to show you. I copy that line of code, then paste it into my message. Then, 'hover' your mouse over an image you like, and it will show the path. Alter the path in the example to match the one you want and if you did it right, hey, presto - there it will be!
