Thanks for the starter, lennon.
Have not posted here for a while as some may have noticed. While I'm sorry my commitment to log in on week days was broken, I am not blaming myself too much. My mother was very ill and now has been diagnosed with cancer; also had to travel 3 hours drive away to Melbourne twice in the last fortnight to be with her. Looking after her has thrown out most of my work schedules and I've just had to manage as best I could.
Today I must focus on finishing my report for L, but also follow up on N project, and briefing note/email to SG.
Thank you all for this forum; using the chat box has really helped me.

Journey 10:30 ugh
I had a lovely weekend with my 40th (yes, 40th!) high school class reunion and my daughter visiting. Today is my son's bday and we are going over to his house tonight for dinner/birthday party. Although it was a fun weekend it was also tiring and I am feeling sluggish and headachy this morning.
I was up at 5:15 this morning, which is one of my goals, but still didn't get out of the house until 6:35. It seems the earlier I get up the more time I waste in the mornings. I'm going to concentrate on this habit and see if I can improve it by the end of October.
I really do not feel like working at all this morning, but I gotta so here goes. First, make todo list and send out agenda for noon meeting. Then I need to start preparing for this weekend's install and put in some time on the two horrid documentation projects.

Hypatia's check-in
For the last 2 weeks I've been taking 10 minutes most days for a time of reflection and prayer (something I've never managed to achieve before!). I'm beginning to learn a bit more about myself. Today I realised for the first time that I no longer feel pride in my work - for several years now, work has been something I have to get through. The only tasks I feel pride in at the moment are my Open University assignments, for which I think I've got the right balance between quality and perfectionism. Now to try and regain my pride in my day job.

Rexroth Check In
Today is not going well. My committment (or was it just a thought?) was to get up and do a full working week. It is now past eleven and I have not touched work.
Done:
Woke late and got up late
Prayed and reflected
Checked emails and post
Tried to sort out a new banking problem and am not convinced I have
Washed up and tidied up in kitchen
Put on washing machine
Researched some info on web and gave up halfway
Had a bath and washed hair
Checked phone messages
Todo:
x Forgive myself and move forward
x Go out and sign on to photography course - a waste of my time as it could easily be done by phone, internet or post but it is what I want so I need to jump through the hoop
x Buy diary for new year if they are in
x Phone friend who phoned me and who I meant (did I?) to phone yesterday over demonstrating at show (this is showing people how a machine works not a protest)
x Check my emails with female friend as I think I have given conflicting messages - and take apporpriate action
That will do for now and I am scarcely moving forward
Regards Rexroth
