Welcome everybody.

Please feel free to alter amend improve pretify this as I could happly spend many hours learning to try to do so.

--------------------------------------------------------------
I added a couple of pretty graphics. Housereclaimer is right, though. It's very easy to do. Do you see the link in the Site Content menu on the left called "Graphics for Forum Posts"? Click that. At the top it explains how to do it (one line, very easy), and then gives you many dozen graphics to choose from. Try it - it makes check-ins fun! --pro

The dry mouth is from my cough medicine - just looked up the side effects. :(

Bummer...

When will you be able to stop the cough medicine?

I've been thinking about how I'd like to spend this day. Now that I've been out, I'm not so itchy to leave my apartment that I can't stay here and do things. My energy is still not 100% back after being sick, so I'm going to stay home and do things here (read, research some things on the internet, watch a movie on TV, etc.).

It occurs to me that I have no idea what I'm going to do today. I don't want to work - I'll start working again tomorrow - but I don't want to piddle away the day, either. In "First Things First", Covey talks about recreation (re-creating yourself) versus piddling your time away with television, electronic games, or addictive behavior. I want to do something recreational today - something I enjoy, but that isn't a waste of my time. Not sure what yet. :?

HI Pro

Rexroth - 15 Oct 2006 - 8:26am

I was just trying to alter it and I got a message saying I was not authorise to enter the site and when I came back you had changed it. It seems like magic. Thanks. Rexroth

really?

pro (not verified) - 15 Oct 2006 - 8:53am

It said you were not authorized to enter the size, or not authorized to edit the message? I can understand the latter (if I was editing it), but not the former.

Feel free to change it again if you like! :)

No problems pro

Rexroth - 15 Oct 2006 - 3:17pm

I don't understand it at all. I'm happy to leave it to people who do.

I'm not going to start Pilates again until I'm a little more solid in my recovery from bronchitis. I'm still a little tired and have a cough.

Congratulations! I know what it's like to have your hours reversed like that. I got into a thing where I was staying up all night and then sleeping half the day. It made me feel lousy, and I couldn't get anything done.

One of the big things I did when I started checking in here was set a firm bedtime for myself, and stick to it. Now I'm in bed by 11 or 12, and get up before 8am. It feels a lot better!!

The first time you make yourself go to bed early you won't be tired, and you'll have to wake yourself up with an alarm. Within a week, though, your inner clock will be readjusted.
