So no to-do list today obviously. Had to meet with the lactation consultant earlier and getting the small one out of the house is a bit of a production.

HOWEVER! I finally got return request approved to go back to my old school after a way too long leave of absence. So I'll be moving out of state with my little guy and I'll hopefully graduate from there, which will be a big accomplishment, and it's a top school. So it was exciting looking at classes even if I wish I didn't have to go so far away.

And I got my essay typed and sent in, contacted some people, etc. It was decently productive.

Just thought I'd show up, and more to-do lists to come! Though now they will get to be more fun to do lists with Christmas coming :)

have a bad cold . . called in sick to work and stayed in bed most of the day . . .we'll see about tomorrow

12:51 PM: Yesterday was tiring but I was fairly effective, if slow. Today I am floundering. I allowed myself to check something more or less legitimate in my email before focusing on work, and then proceeded into a domino effect spiral, "just checking" progressivley less important things. Now the morning is gone. I feel nervous, my eyes are bothering me (from the computer screen, perhaps) and my stomach is vaguely unsettled.

Well, I did not expect a one day magical cure (altho it would be nice). I know I have the capacity to concentrate in a single focused effort, like yesterday. But it is consistency I sorely lack. I feel mentally tired, and on one level I don't want to concentrate the same way I did yesterday. Yet I did appreciate the results, even though modest by standards of fast and well centered types.

Goal 1: Work on one case write up for 30 minutes, just to prime the pump, so to speak

Goal 2: Quick lunch at 1:45 PM

Goal 3: Return and stay on track until 5 PM.

Goal 4: Leave by 7 PM. This is really important. Hanging around yesterday later than that was inefficient and I feel it has had a negative impact on my work today. 

Back to report.

My Yoffee was attacked by a pit bull the night before last. She was hurt pretty bad. If, after x-rays, her back paws are okay, she'll be okay. We went to a vet that night and I'll take her to her old vet tomorrow. Too painful to keep writing.
