This Check in is way over due. I should have gone to bed hours ago. I got in from Christmas shopping around 10:30 pm. I spent the rest of the evening making handmade gift certificates with handmade envelopes for my kids. Now that I'm done, I'll set my alarm and head off to bed. See you all tomorrow (well, actually, see you all later today, LOL!)

pro's CI - 10:20pm
There is an overpowering stench of perfume in the hallway of my building. It's seeping under my door and triggering a migraine. This happens once in a while. Some woman in the building must drown herself in perfume before leaving to go out. I should be glad I'm not anywhere near her now.
I want to start setting my alarm to get up in the morning, but I can't decide between 6am and 7am. Maybe I'll split the difference and set it for 6:30am.
The smell is killing me.
I didn't get a lot done today. I did get dressed, make the bed, take pills, go to the grocery store, check my mail, and go to a D.A. meeting. I'm going to start getting ready for bed now - after opening the window (though it's cold out) to get rid of the smell, and taking some migraine medication.

re: sick
Sorry you're not feeling well, HR. Feel better soon! It sucks to be sick around the holidays.
Nice to have company, though. It's been quiet around here today.

Gah. Buses barely running this morning, took me almost an hour and a half to get to work (instead of @ 25 min). Still haven't eaten breakfast so that's first on the list.

Lark's 9:30 AM CI
Good morning everyone. I hope everyone does well today, and I especially hope Rexroth feels better soon. Today I hope to focus on one project as much as I can.
To Do:
1 Work as much as I can on the main project in the workshop
2 Do holiday house cleaning
3 Find some invoices I'll be needing (which #2 should do)
4 Run errand to collect money from a client and spend most of it paying bills (I hope to get home before I'm broke).
That's enough for now--not making it complicated.
Lark's 1:45 AM CI
Not sleepy, so I need to check in.
Everything got done, except for house cleaning. Though it isn;t really bad, I can't seem to do it enough. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I went to bed way too late, procrastinating on YouTube. Now I need to get going.

How do you guy's do it? I've been up since 5 am and I'm already an hour behind schedule from reading and responding to posts. I wanna stay up on what's being said on the board but I also wanna stay on time and on task. I'll have to figure this out (I may have to start getting up at 4:30 am). In the mean time, here are my todos for the first part of the day:
Morning Routine:
[x] Get up at 5 am
[] Shower
[] Facial
[] Devotional Time
[] Dress to shoes
[] Check son's book bag for school papers
[] Get son ready for school
[] Breakfast
[] Take Son to school
[] Christmas shop

I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. But I applaud your willingness to stay productive in spite of how you feel.
Hope you feel better soon,

PS. Adding the timezone to the subject line is a great idea. I'll start doing it too.
