Got my pages done. They are not perfect, but they are done. I'll take it!

Hi Demi

Congratulations on meeting your goal! A thesis is such a huge project that it can really be intimidating. I tried to remind myself that I had written a lot of papers and that it was just another paper. Sometimes that helped (: Keep working at it and it will get done.

Thanks Julie!

Julie, I appreciate the words of encouragement! It's good to hear from someone who has been through it. :) I like the CI idea. I will try that again today.

8:40am CI for Lark Catch up Day

Hi everyone. I've decided to make today "catch up day", as I've made progress on things lately, but it's often been "good enough", etc. I've verbally committed to some things for today, but have heard nothing from any clients about it. There are a couple of favors to repay, some finishing touches to do, and it's starting to bother me.
To do:
 morning routine
 meditate
 get price quotes for client
 finish small project A
 finish project B
 fix carpets
 visit hospital
 wash dishes
 fix kitchen electrical plug
 sort laundry
 lunch with brother
 visit friend tonight
 put finished papers in file cabinet (more unfinished than finished, so it won't take long!)
 touch up house door
 run vacuum
 clean up car
 check in here

Big list of small things. Please think positive thoughts for me. Good luck everyone.

Didn't get much crossed off today.

Today didn't turn out as I'd planned this morning. Things came up beyond my control, but several things were accomplished, and they were the most important (Usually it's the other way around.). I need to make a hard copy of my list, and keep it posted tomorrow. I came to the conclusion that I have too much "stuff", and I need to get rid of as much as I can, and organize the rest. Starting on the "get rid of" list tonight should put me to sleep right quickly.

Lark

I"ll keep the positive thoughts going for you and I hope you have a good day!

Thanks for being here.

Regards Rexroth

Glad you're feeling better!

Rexroth 21.02 BST

Thank's Julie and I still feel better though very tired and I'm going to bed and to sleep if I can tear myself away from the internet.

I've done everything on my list and the travel clinic was particularly successful as I needed only two jabs and I had them there and then. I had thought I needed a course of three. Also I've got the rest of medical stuff I need so that is sorted. I received the travel insurance in the post today and I've checked it and it's fine too.

So now prayer reflection journal and bed and sleep.

Night folks
