Pretty good day so far. I really need to get back to tr'ing stuff. I will feel so much better.

Had a decent lr session, did a good orientation, but I need more time for myself and my self-development. After dinner maybe I'll go home fairly soon thereafter???

Glad I got to this, glad I finished the War of Art, glad I oriented Judea, glad I talked with Stanley today, glad I convinced Polly to go out to dinner (I really adore her), glad I wrapped Dylan's gift, glad I took roll, glad I got the low-down from Yvonne on the proscuitto, etc., etc.

Overall a good day though I don't feel great about it.

Alicia will be gone the 9th and the 16th.

I'm still under the weather. I'm not entirely sure why but I am.

I need to get back to my tr and reading regimen and I will feel better.

I've been under the weather for a few days. That's okay. Again, that's okay. I got into the argument with Fernando a couple of days ago and was already feeling down about my wallet being gone. My wallet is back and I seem to be doing fine with Fernando and Jerry. I guess I just need to get back on the saddle, get back to what I was doing before, be clear about what I want to get done outside of work, and so forth. Doing some stuff in the car before I go into the apartment definitely helps. This is of course harder when I'm doing something during the day. Perhaps I should plan events like tennis or the like after the daylight is no more. Then I can get some stuff done in my car and do whatever it is I need to do.

For not being too down I need to give myself lots and lots of credit. Good job!

Doing this blog regularly and using my binder regularly has really helped. Getting back to using the tr will help alot as well.

So-so day yesterday. Got furious with Fernando after he didn't answer my call and we tried out his radio together and it turned out it was working fine when he called me (not perfectly but I had no trouble understanding him). He suggested that I was calling him a liar which of course I was not.

Saw David McCullough yesterday evening. He was absolutely terrific. No more can be said. When I got home my wallet and fanny pack and all else was there. That was truly a relief.

I didn't get much non-work stuff done yesterday but I hung in there and am giving myself space.

Doing great overall. Called prospective new tutor, keeping up on my todo's and looking at list daily, etc., etc.

Good job David.

Spoke w/Steve yesterday and was nice to talk w/Wendi. She's doing the c-section on Tuesday.

Pretty good day. I'm a little down about no wallet. But all considering, I'm managing fine. I've already ordered a new license, a new atm/credit card, a new badge. I miss having a wallet and need one and am uneasy about not having my checkbook. I'll have to cancel the remaining checks in the next week or so (so the one check I wrote will go through).

I did see Michael Cunningham at the Library, spoke w/Steve yesterday, transcribed the rest of my notes, got in early, got an hour and 1/4 of ot, got the work order backlog done, input JB's procedures, returned Ellis, got rid of some papers, and so on. All in all another good day.

If I hit a rocky point, that's okay.

In my last post I focused on Sunday when I should have focused on Saturday (I usually focus on the day before). Saturday was another great day. Matt and I had a very nice, revealing lunch. The session went very well. I had a bit of a rapprochment with Angela. I went to the library and limited my checking out to one new book while I read several chapters of my current books and worked on my todos and my notes.

I did more work on my apartment as well.


All in all a good day.

David

P.S. I can get work done at home if I plan to go out afterwards. Otherwise I basically wind down.

Had an altogether great day up until I realized I had lost my wallet. I think I left it behind on the tennis courts but I'm not sure. I kind of rushed off the courts with Amanda because she kind of rushes. I am not going to rush next time regardless of what she does. When I pulled into McDonald's later in the day I realized that I didn't have my fanny pack with me in the front of the car. But I figured it was just in the trunk. Foolishly (and perhaps self-destructively) I assumed it was in the trunk. I proceeded to purchase something, drive a few blocks for shade, and go through my reading todos (newspaper, books, audio, etc.). I also turned off my engine and left on the ac.

Well the ac stopped and I realized I had run through the juice on my battery. I then discovered my fanny pack was nowhere to be found. I proceeded to call AAA, got the problem fixed, and went on back to the courts and no wallet (at lost in found or on the courts or ...). I though maybe someone called me but no one did. This hurt the rest of my day (but these things happen). I listened to the rest of the tape, transcribed the (most of it), and listened to audio stuff on the computer, and finished Charles' email.

All in all another great day in spite of the one letdown. I need to be very focused with my valuables.
