Decent day yesterday. My bins came in which so excited me. I didn't get all that much else done though I felt good about Rushall visiting me, doing break with Rob, interacting with Sanjay (him giving me credit for monitoring the Valence mold process), etc. Organizing my bins / trash cans in my trunk was great and made me feel great -- more than anything because now I know what's there, that I'm really in control, etc. I should probably get more trash bins but this is so so so great. I may not need more bins. Organizing the pens would help. Clear some of the papers out as well as the clothes. This was a great, really terrific first step. With a bit less in there and the pens out or the pens organized, It will work terrifically for me. I'm so excited by this. Its a huge move. Working out of my trunk is within reach.

The weekend will have been good if I get nothing else done. However, if I can finish my letter to Mom and Dad that would be great. Also listening to the Ellis tape felt great. I am okay that I didn't work the Caroline thing out so long as I maximize my other contact with Singles. The weekly review tomorrow is very important. The gathering, etc., etc. should be done. Let me get to the library (or perhaps the Westside Pavilion) by 1 p.m. If to the Westside Pavilion, perhaps by 10 a.m. or tonight? Also writing the letter is crucial. Working too would be so great (work orders, vs's, Project report, monthly report, next week org. for...). Also checklists and plans for the week I go home (to Pueblo and to airport). Also how should I use Angelina. What Spanish stuff do I need? Print these blogs out.

I need to get the big things off my back. I think when that happens I'll feel so much better. Things include a letter to Mom and Dad, LR Receipts, a letter to Steve, a letter to Yvonne, a calendarized game plan for LR, Dates for the school visit, Binderized fun pictures, functional kitchen, Washed kitchen and bathroom. I need to concentrate on these items, particularly the letters and LR stuff. Perhaps also doing things with reference to romance would help and job stuff.

All in all things are reasonably good. That's okay. Otherwise not much to tell. Hopefully I'll be able to do some of this stuff on Saturday and Sunday and blog then too.

Pretty good day yesterday up until I got home. Then kind of relaxed as I probably needed to. I should probably build in a couple of relaxation hours at the end of the day every day (say at 8 or after). Did get through lots of stuff at the library and added stuff to my outlook tasks. Overall things pretty good.

I think my new "today" form is working well so far. Its a bit overwhelming and I wish it were neater (maybe there's a way to make it that way) but I am glad its going well. Still feeling stress and felt a headache yesterday. A bit too eager on the phone with prospective volunteers (Amit...). Need to be more standoffish. Being too nice has too many drawbacks. I need to change my image there (perhaps a bit unreachable, a bit aloof). Glad I reached her and Jenny Dong.

Got next to nothing done at home once I got there. I mostly slept which helped with the headache but was dissappointing since I had high hopes with the today. Okay when I'm sick. So long as can catch items the next day and not feel that I need to throw my system out with a down day or two. Also need to be much less ambitious when I get home. Maybe put more home things before I leave or only if I have somewhere else to go to look forward to. More incentives would be good.

Not feeling well today. Don't know why, just a headache I guess. Doing some tweaking on my "daily" but perhaps I should just stick to the basics. The 15 minutes today of fun pictures in plastic felt great. That works so long as I am sure there's an end point and I do it consistently. The 15 minute thing works great provided that I can find a way to make sure that's what I do. Perhaps doing it in the car will help? I need to be somehow in a place that there are really no other distractions and all the tools are accessible and I don't need to get up or down or ... Am glad I got plastics and looked at my organizer before finishing my errands. Also made it out to see the Wedding Planners. That felt so great -- seeing a movie (something to talk about), having fun, getting out at a reasonable hour, doing something for me, having something to look forward to, giving myself a bit of freedom (an extra half hour to browse in the bookstore and get something unusual to eat, and so on. Perhaps I can make a point of seeing a movie every week and/maybe doing a book read every week or ??? Does that run counter to the 15 minute thing or can I do both so I don't get too bogged down in one or the other???

Need to get back to daily tr. That really really works well and I miss it! Maybe I can use items from it to put into outlook and then synchronize home and work outlook. Outlook is probably the way to go. Also along with the project list perhaps I can make a standard list of components of a project list (draft note, edit note, get email address, dictate note, transcribe note, send note, tickler for 2 day fu, separate thanks, etc.).

Pretty good day yesterday. There's something about being with my siblings and discussing Mom and Dad that I really hate.

Did get most of what I set out to do though I do need to scale back on my PaperMate hours. Try to do so this week and figure out how to gather all the relevant material together and get to it all at once (maybe with a tr and transcribing and figure out how to move the transcription to somewhere else that I use (the task list or the binder or ...?)

Pretty good day so far. Playing tennis was great. I just wish I had had the stamina to win. The weekly review, part of which I did this afternoon feels so great. I need to continue the habit of doing it on Wednesdays and Sunday.

Otherwise I'm rushing to get to everything else in my life. I just wish I felt better about everything.
