Out of clutter find simplicity,
From discord find harmony,
In the middle of difficulty, find opportunity.

Hypatia's check-in
it's weird - I'm two reports away form clearing a backlog of over 100 reports, but I'm still struggling to get on and do them! My general allergy to report writing seems to have disappeeared, but with these last two it's almost as if I don't want to finish. It's not as if there's not a new lot of reports to do, but I think my brain is frightened of moving on to a better frame of mind.

Finding a way CI
Thanks for the starter, Mole, although unfortunately I spent far too much time at the great cartoon site.
Looking at my list, I might have to have my guilt party today, as the people I should have rung won't be around on Saturday. Cals to SO, WT, CM and NW. Even 2 or 3 of these would be something.
Other than that I need to persist with current projects (chat box was a big help yesterday), wash clothes, go for bike ride, wash dishes, shop and make dinner.

If you forget something, you can always hit "edit post" and add it back in. Unless you or someone else has responded to you. I know I am grateful for this feature as I inevitably forget something!

- Bedroom finalizing (cleaning)
- Administration

GET UP, GET OUT, AND DO SOMETHING !
Yoh - Friday 21/09 - failure
I feel bad seeing this now. I worked late, but that should not be an excuse to not do anything on the list.
Nothing of it is done and what I did was not important or urgent at all.
Better go to bed now and get an early rise tomorrow to make up for lost time. More luck to all of you!
