It was a lousy day. I played internet computer games (deleted the ones on my computer already) pretty compulsively and didn't meet a deadline. Really struggling with demand-resistance.
Lark's last CI 1:10 AM
I had a huge day, and only recently got in. I saw where gasoline prices came down, but only at the stations which were already closed. I paid the going rate tonight, since I needed some. From my other check in, I got everything done except for cleaning carpets and upholstery, so I'll put it on tomorrow's list. Good night everyone.

I'm back from dinner with friends. That was nice.
My interview this afternoon went well. I have another interview for this same job next week, and another one the week after that (out of town). I'm very excited about this job - it sounds really great.
I never picked up my mail today, I forgot to take my afternoon pills, and my laundry is folded but not put away. I should get started on that so I can get to bed at a reasonable hour. Bedtime routine now...

I'm really struggling w/this writing project (writing is my most painful area of procrastination), so I've broken it down into some smaller components. But somehow that trick doesn't always help b/c I keep thinking ahead to the scary part, and that immobilizes me. So much easier to play stupid computer games. Ugh!
MelloJellos CI 9:14am
Good morning all. I'm going to try again. To try to keep on track I've set a computer alarm to go off in a few minutes to remind me to get going on my first project.

Monica, I like your sig "If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done." I'm going to print that out and post it at home, and have it on my computer screen as well.
Gah! I've already gone over my timer to post this. oh well, its a start.
Signature
I'm glad you like it. I hope it helps.
Productivity to you,
Monica

I saw a pretty sunrise this morning. They sky turned red-purple.
I still don't get up at 6am by myself - the alarm always wakes me up. I'm convinced it's because it's still dark. My body doesn't believe in getting up while it's still dark.
withdrawal from caffeine
Even though I tried to taper off, I'm having a lot of problems from caffeine withdrawal - tiredness, headaches. It's a drag. I can't remember how long the symptoms lasted last time - maybe a week or two, I think.
I don't know why I started drinking coffee again when it was so hard to quit.
