When the boss keeps ya late! So, now I am dead tired! I wanted to do nothing! nBut my daughter was counting on me to make her a yummy dinner...so I started it...and wanted to sit and do nothing...but I have to "be a chauffeaur" for work tomorrow, so I went and cleaned my car while dinner was cooking...I really wanted to sit and get my computer fix but I chose to unload the dishwasher intead! YEa me!!Sat down to dinner with my daughter...she was happy...cleaned the kitchen, even tho I didn't want to...Now, I can sit and relax...Before I go to bed I need to: pick an outfit, a lunch, ...can't think of anything else right now??? Just really glad that I kept productive when I got home...my goal is to not let things build up so I am stuck catching up on the weekend!! THank You PA for planting a seed in my mind...keeping me going!!

Took Saturday off, but worked a half day Sunday and a full day yesterday. Made some pretty good progress, but can't seem to get going today. I have been messing around with email and such all morning. Alright, have to slap the blinders on. I have a 1 PM meeting and a 5:30 PM meeting, so the time in between has to be used effectively. 

Goal 1: 3 x 30 minute blocks; work on a case, move on when done or when 30 minutes elapse, whichever comes first

Goal 2:  Meeting 1 to 2 PM

Goal 3: Quick snack 2 to 2:30 PM

Goal 4: 6 x 30 Minute blocks, as above

Goal 5: Meeting 5:30 to 7 PM with dinner

Goal 6: Leave - This one will really be a test, since my tendency after evening meetings is to meander back to my office, dawdle awhile (often a long while) online, then eventually get started working and stay until late. I have been pathetically flailing at my self-inflicted late nights (segueing into ineffective, tired mornings) for a long time. Have to keep on trying to break through that.

Goal 7: Exercise 20 minutes. Walking will suffice. ANYthing is 100% more than what I am currently doing.

Goal 8: Computer work at home - 1 hour *timed*

Goal 9: To bed by 10 PM, maybe do some non-work reading?

Goal 10: Lights out by 11 PM

Well, we'll see what happens. Right now, it's time for the Breakfast of Champions, and then into the fray. Back to report. 

Working from home today.   I worked a lot over the weekend and I am tired and grumpy and feel that I didn't get my holiday, which I didn't.  It is raining here so I could not run but I did an exercise tv video which was fun.   The combination of the huge project and the rainy cool weather is working together to make me want to crawl under the covers and stay there for a couple of days.  But I can't do that, I have a deadline, and I have made loads of progress and I can look forward to a break soon once I get this system ready to roll out.   Then it will just be a matter of working on the weekends to get it installed, and we should be able to take some time off during the week I hope.

So, I will just hang in there and get it done right?  All my lesser projects, including housework,  have fallen by the wayside but that is to be expected.   I am keeping up with laundry and dishes and that's about it, but I'm fine with that.  

Back to it, I feel better now that I have vented :)
