Journey 9:30 &

journey - 3 May 2011 - 7:33pm

Working from home today so I'll check in frequently.  I've been to the gym, stopped by the store and post office, checked email and had breakfast.   Now I'm going to make my to do list for the day.   I have Instant Boss going, 20 minutes work alternating with 10 minutes break.   The rest of this 20 minutes will be spent making todo list.

Update 11:30 haven't made much progress but I do have my to do list and schedule at least.   Now, fix security issues in the new lab system.

Update 3 pm YES!  Finally figured out my security issue.  worked on this longer than I planned but I wanted to get past this hurdle today.   Now I'm going to take a short break and then clean out my backpack, it's a mess.   after that I will make a dreaded phone call, then check back here.

Update 4 pm the dreaded phone call took a long time, but had a good result.  Now I'm going to work on my coding for an hour.  

Update 8:30 coded for a while, made a nice dinner, did the dishes and then coded a little more because I realized my script had actually worked and I didn't realize it so I changed it - Iwanted to go back and see if I could make it work again, on purpose this time lol.   and I did.   Coding is fun, I don't get to do it much and I kinda suck at it but I really like it.  

Now I'm going to goof around on the personal computer for 30 minutes, then work on my afghan or read until I get sleepy.   See ya tomorrow!   I won't be as chatty because I'll be in the office but I'll still be thinking of you.

Rexroth - 3 May 2011 - 8:02am

Today is proving difficult emotionally and I am getting stuff done.

Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Checked emails and post
Washed up and tidied up from yesterday
Put on washing machine
Bath and washed hair
Phoned friend who was angry with me without much cause and spent some time feeling confused and sorry for myself and a little more considering coodependancy
Checked that the information I had given her was correct
Listed to some music of friend singing which another friend helped me download yesterday
Started letter on behalf of friend who helped me yesterday
Listed things I still need his help on - which includes how to put a picture at the start of threads like this one
Studied French for an hour
Looked on website and started listing photos for printing order
Enquired about swimming lessons and spoke to a very helpful woman in fact the most helpful person I've spoken to for a long time

Todo:
Go out for short walk - (all or nothing I can't walk my usual 6-7 miles so its not worth walking at all) - well a short walk will be better for me than no walk
Hang up washing
Post reply on website to travel question
Listen to the rest of friends music
Check swimming shorts - for coverage and decency fashion does not matter
Write journal - friend helped me a lot yesterday and I need to record how I felt about this which was confused as he got on with stuff
