Thanks for the starter, Hypatia.
My Friday went pretty well, put in a fairly solid day at my client's office, it's a routine that seems to be working OK for me even though I have to fight feelings that as a consultant I don't belong there with the full-time employees. But some work part-time and there are even other consultants.
On Friday I got some good acknowledgement for some work I did last year, which helped.
Today I have done some domestic things, spent some time with my husband and had some rest.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

This is the 74th day that I have followed through with the following:
I'm making a pledge to quit using the dating site(s) and Facebook for 90
days. I had written this on my 43things account, but I wrote that I
wanted to avoid dating sites for a full six months, so I think 90 days
is reasonable for a dating site. I also have a penchant for looking at
and stalking certain people repeatedly on the dating website and online,
which has prevented me from sanity. Just all out stalking certain
people has been all out crazy; if I'm not stalking one person, it's
another person. During times I've tried to quit the dating site
before, I have visited people's dating profiles, even while not
registered on the dating site. So part of my whole thing with quitting
dating sites is also quitting stalking people's profiles that I've tried
to date in the past. If I accidentally load a dating site, b/c I
accidentally clicked on something obviously that doesn't count. You can
hardly hang a cat on the Internet without hitting a dating site ad.
Intention is everything.
In other words:
the past. (I am now back on day 37 for this).
includes not stalking people on AIM or other chat networks, whom I've
tried to date in the past. I just want to take a step back and get
sanity and focus on MYSELF. (I'm on day 2
of this.)
day: walking, swimming, hiking, biking, running, jogging, karate, yoga,
a dance class. Anything of those for at least 30 minutes. And nothing
else. I can do the running plan, but I assure myself that each day
that I show up to run, I will be okay, if all I do is ultimately choose
to walk. Whatever I feel comfortable with when I do. That way I don't
intimidate myself.
Journey has conquered procrastination for good!
April fool!

hope4meandu day 10 here; day 7 at work
Thanks for the starter Hypatia!!
If I keep showing up, Monday, will beat my most consecutive days of showing up at work since Janauary. I'm determined, and Mondays are my worst!!
Fighting the feelings of depression since yesterday. Praying for the willingness to work out again. Next week I hope to take care of transferring my credit card to another bank and closing out that debt.
To do:
-find groomer he makes house calls
-find someone to clean on Sunday?
Wishing you all the best day and weekend!!!

OK, this week so far has been pretty awful. I need to dial down expectations temporarily, so I can break this cycle of feeling like a miserable failure all the time.
For today, if I can at least get frozen sections done (don't need to be good, just need to try this technique out), I'll call the day a success. Not adding ANY more tasks to the list until that's done
kromer 12:15 CI
OK, I tried out frozen sections, and turns out there are some serious problems with this that I need to solve.
So, three more tasks for the day:
*Order probes
*Submit samples
*Plan for fixing frozen sections
End o' the Scribbler's Work Week CI 8:38 a.m.
Did pretty well yesterday as far as completing assigned tasks. Question: Did I put enough or the right tasks on the schedule? I still have a nagging feeling that I'm falling behind on important business, but I suppose that's inescapable. Today I have one major gotta-finish project, which I have broken down into smaller pieces, along with some less critical ones. Off to it...

Hypatia's check-in
Encouraging start this morning - I actually paid a bill only 2 days after it arrived. I'm hoping that's a good omen.
It's another unstructured day at work today so I'm going to have a go at outstanding reports. I didn't realise there were so many - there's no way I'm going to get them all done today.
Plan for the day
H.
10.40am and no reports started - spent so long on the two phone calls! Psychologically I do much worse if I don't start the difficult stuff first thing in the morning
yay Hypatia!
:)
And good morning!
Be sure to take a little time to "celebrate" your little victory. One problem I have is that I don't spend enough time enjoying the positives, if that makes sense. I'll be like "ok, I got an A on the paper, but STILL . . ."
Have a great friday!
Thanks Katia
Many thanks for the encouragement.
state of play so far today
OK so I had a great plan to write at least 9 reports before my boss came back on Monday, but you can't have everything!
Have a great weekend everybody!
