9 September, 2012 - 7:16am - Mole

 I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me. The idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Welcome to another week. Go well,  dear friends.

Please do not leave advice or feedback.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome. 

                                                                                                        

 

I waited until the last minute to add classes tonight, because I  really want to see if this research opportunity will pan out, plus I know it will be more expensive this way if worst case scenario I can only take one class, but I know it will ultimately be best for me.  I just think that Dr Mena might be a lot more willing to work with me if I have more time in the afternoons.  Gonna brush teeth, and go on a walk now.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to
reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the
door to personal excellence.

Salamander's check in - Mon 10 Sep '12

Salamander - 10 Sep 2012 - 3:05pm

First of all, my thanks to mole for starting this thread. Secondly, I would like to say that I skim through the tasks other people are setting themselves each day because some of them come with useful comments I might learn from. So I share the happiness of someone who has just completed a goal on which s/he has been procrastinating before - I just don't say so because I don't want to make it impossible for you to edit your task lists. Smile

I appear not to have a migraine lurking today, so will resume work towards my own overall goals.

Starting at 1205:

  • breakfast
  • skincare 
  • wash and dress myself

I will finish the third of these before sleeping tonight. Needless to say I hoped to do more than this. I had a bad night and have spent much of the day trying to catch up on sleep. Fingers crossed I can sleep tonight.

 Tomorrow is another day, my lovelies!
