Thomas C., 11:32 a.m.
I took my temperature this morning. It was 101.3 F (38.5 C). I just downed some Ibuprofen to reduce it, and kept going. I'm feeling pretty energy-less, but I have so much to do today:
1. revise and send in spiritual school report (over two weeks late)
2. help students with surveys
3. register for conference
4. finish reading book in French (long)
Already helped on item 2, and have to do it again at noon. But I could certainly wrap up item 1 quickly, and even take only a half-hour on item 3. Then devote the rest of the day to item 4.

Home with a load of silver from my Mum's estate which I'm going to sell. Feel very upset about it all.
Regards Rexroth
I hope you're doing better, Rexroth
I can identify with where you are, i think. My mother passed away last year, and things still come to the top of the soup, so to speak. I have a brother (and sister in law) which makes things more complicated too. It was easy to throw away or donate many things, but it's difficult when other items come up. Sometimes I have to ask what she'd have me do with some of these things if I was able to ask her. In some instances I've been able to live a bit better from what I've gotten from the sale of a few small items. Plus, I've not had to store or clean some things. I hope this helps a little my friend.
Thanks Rexroth 22.02 BST

Well, my challenge to myself didn't work. I just got so anxious that I did nothing and made myself ill. Feeling VERY down and out...
* RSs & SAs to IEM
* check students' paperwork for EOY needs
* check for recycling options for testing mtls.
* mail RSs - Hernandez, Fabyan
* email students with P & WP needs - Veneman, Sawyer, Enzaldo, Panameno, Ollis
* call Lyndsey/Laura re/ appt., LR, P & WP needs
* start late LRs
* note for doctor re/ Imitrix
* call Misty, Veneman, Sawyer
* prep for meetings - WRAT, items to mail, phone numbers
* print out new RSs for Sawyer
* recycling
We seem to always lose self-challenges.
Can't figure it out, but they don't work as well as they do on paper. It's the only area I can recall where it's a lose-lose situation for me. When I'm in that area, I've discovered that posting only a few simple (but important) goals will help me. If I may make a suggestion, try that for a day or so. We all seem to need a few successes, even if they're minor ones, now and then--or at least to start this program. I hope this helps a bit. Take care.
Thank you, Lark. Yes, that
Thank you, Lark. Yes, that seems to be the case. Whenever I put a spotlight on anything I want to accomplish, it almost guarantees failure. I don't get it. Oh well; tomorrow's another day, as is the next, and the next...
