pro's CI - 7:30pm
Laundry is done!! And I got an insight... If I do the laundry before it piles up to the ceiling, it's a lot easier to carry up and down the stairs. :D
Break time now.

Laundry
Good job! This must be laundry day! Most of mine is washed but it just never gets put away. It will be nice now that I have it all put up to actually be able to go to the closet to find clothes instead of sorting through various stacks (:
folded and sitting there
I folded the laundry at the laudromat, but then I came home and started playing on FaceBook, so the laundry is still sitting folded in the basket. Now I've got to go to bed because I have to get up early tomorrow.
Computers - bah! I waste more time on computer silliness...

Edge's CI - 11:45PM
I am so tired, I'm not going to be able to finish my CV, even though I've been putting it off for the past week. I think I keep procrastinating because I want it to be perfect but I know it's not going to be. ..Ach, what the heck, will just wing it and send it. It's never going to be as good as I want. Will just clean it up after tomorrow (too busy tomorrow) and hope for the best.
Night, everyone.

pro's CI - 3:15pm
If I'm going to do laundry today rather than my pile, then I have to actually start gathering it together and not just sit in front of the computer making empty promises. Right? Okay, here goes. I'll check in again when I'm ready to leave.

the "I donwanna" thing...
I've got this loud "I donwanna!" whine in my head. How old do I have to be before I get it through my head that no where is it written that we only have to do things we like in this life?
The torn item is mended, the laundry is packed up, and it's time to leave. Oh how I hate lugging this stuff up and down five flights of stairs, but that is what I need to do now.

pre-wash mending
I discovered that something I want to wash is torn, and I need to mend it first or the tear will get worse. But I'm making progress towards the laundromat.

Julie's 5:30 CI
I have gotten bogged down working on the website for my class. It is VERY frustrating because I'm just learning how to do everything and of course it's not going smoothly. I've been working for a couple of hours and have gotten a lot entered, but the links don't seem to work): I'm going to leave it for tonight and call computer services for help with that part on Monday. So I've completed working on the website, looked at Zoe's shot records, found someone to take her to doggie daycare and that's about it. I'm leaving the computer now to work on something different before I get violent. Also, for some reason I can't seem to "edit" my list here. Probably something strange I did when I entered it, with the luck I'm having with computers today (: I'll check back in after dinner.
This is what I'd like to do to the computer about now...
Julie's 6:40 CI
I got the laundry room all picked up and all the clothes put away. Yay! It was a nice break from the website work. I'll check back in after dinner.
Africa? Cool!
Good luck with your list, Julie. Let us know how you do.
You're going to Africa? How cool!! Where? Vacation? What will you be doing there?

Hi Pro
Thanks for the good wishes! I'm going to Mozambique for a building/medical mission trip. I went last summer too and I'm really excited to be going back. I'm just going a little crazy trying to get everything done that has to be done before I leave(: By the way, is the "edit" function not working today? I don't see it underneath my list like I usually do.

Going well and I'm glad I'm posting again, it really helps me. One success to report. I had an email back from hotel I'm trying to book for holiday and I replied straight away booking the room. My normal habit is to save the email and think/worry about it for a bit. It's a small change in behaviour but it feels important.
Regards Rexroth
I can identify.
Sometimes I put off good things like that. I'll check on availability, vacancy, etc. and not move on it. Then I'm disappointed, angry, and depressed when it's not available when I get back later. What part did I play? Hmm.
I have the same tendency
I have the same tendency :-) Gets me into a lot of trouble, I'm afraid :p Glad you were able to get it out of the way so soon, Rex :grin: Good on ya, mate 8)

Thanks for support
Thanks for support, that's what's great about this forum. I now have a rail ticket, a plane ticket and a hotel reservation (as they have just got back to me) and an airport pickup. I'm not leaving till the beginning of September and I'm well organised for once.
