Ugh, I am so sleepy today! I stayed up too late chatting online with friends who don't have to work today! Unfortunately, I do not have a holiday today so now I am paying for my transgressions. AND I did not work on my budget either which is what I planned on doing when I sat down at the computer in the first place. I am used to getting plenty of sleep so today I am tired and grouchy.
Regardless, I do have work that I want to get done today. Our management will probably send us home a bit early anyway to beat the holiday traffic so I should plan on getting as much done as possible and look forward to leaving a bit early. That's the ticket!
I have been to the gym. I was a few minutes late to work but not too bad considering that I overslept by 30 minutes. I've read email, and checked my (empty) calendar. I am making my todo list now and I will mindfully focus on my work and try to make the day go by quickly. Some caffeine would probably be in order also.
I will check back periodically just to confirm that I am awake :)
Update 11 am. I am awake. I have my todo list and just got a nice lunch invitation. I will completely 3 short admin type tasks before going to lunch.
Update 11:30. I am still awake and I have completed the 3 admin tasks and I have 15 minutes before leaving for lunch. I'll work on Project M.
Update 3 pm had a nice lunch with friends and made progress on Project M. No longer feeling sleepy, thanks to the free refills of diet coke at lunch. Now I'll work on Project O for an hour, then spend the rest of the afternoon doing 15 minutes each on small lower priority projects.

Working on prep for research prog. update
Steppin check in
After a couple of ok weeks, I've hit one of those days. I've started on a diet which makes me cranky with sugar-cravings, my friend cancelled an appointment and I'm stressing a bit over some music I have to learn. Not anything horrible, just small things piling up.
Now I'll practice a bit, see how it goes and report back.
3.21 pm update
Practice went fine
Got home, made good, healthy lunch and didn't surrender to my sugarcravings!
Now: Go for a walk, then do some housework
Finding a way CI
As it was the Good Friday holiday I had a really different day - no work at all (unless you count housework!)
These were all good things to do and I only had about 5 minutes where I gave myself a hard time about not doing 'backlog' jobs.
For those here who are taking an Easter break, I hope it is restful and inspiring.
