Hi Everyone, it's the start of another week and it'd going to be a busy one for me. By this time next weel I plan to have my port folio of school work ready to be printed and bound or close to it anyway. It is due in Nov.3. I was busy over the weekend, work on Sat and yesterday I travelled with 8 other family memebers to the funeral of our uncle in a small town 2 hours away. It was a really nice day (apart from the funeral bit) the weather was fantasic and ot was great to be with family. We keep saying we need to get together more without having to have someone die. CanDo - I have been following your puppy ever since you got her and when I get finished with school I am going to send you a long PM about doggy stuff. I have tried to up load a picture of my dog to here but something went wrong and I gave up - I will get back to it when I have time. I am glad to hear that your puppy went to the vet and they found what is wrong Things to do today:  work on transcript - finished transcribing print things to take to supervision shower eat supervision at 1pm find micro skills notes read notes finish adding to transcript  start reflection recover from supervision hopefully engergised and inspire - supervisor told me he is woriied about me running out of time so I have to work hard to prove him wrong. walk dog load of washing - still in washing machine will hang it out tomorrow if the weather is ok call dad and tell him I have bought him a lawn mower call lawm mower people write to uncle's brother drink water - some and some white tea eat fruit - 1 apple Probably add to this list as the day goes on. This week it is important for me to stay focused and be efficient. Have a good day everyone |

Things I choose to do today. I say choose, because I think this is one thing that will help me with procrastination. If I have to do it, I'm like, really, who's going to make me.I don't have to do anything. But I can choose to do something. And that's my choice.  30 minutes pile in loungeroom Done you SUCKER! I never wanna see you like that again. Took me a couple of hours. Just for you. You've taken enough time out of my life. Stay CLEAN! 15 minutes make bed Half done, waiting for doona to dryEdit: Done. It looks like a grownups bed now  15 minutes cleaning small child's bedroom 15 minutes cleaning master bedroom 5 minutes cleaning table out back 10 minutes Vacuum loungeroom 10 minutes Mop kitchen 5 minutes Mop laundry (after half-@ssed attempt friday night  at least it's half clean, so I have a head start.... Cook dinner, today. Leave myself time to relax tonight 5 minutes folding some clothes.. and PUT THEM AWAY Total: 1 hour, 50 minutes (plus cooking time) Really, I used to work like 8 hours a day, so theoretically, I'm getting off easy with only 2 hours of housework, right? That's what I'll tell myself anyway. Real total: All day, I'll make an attempt at mini-me's room. Okay, I really will now that I wrote it again. I'll fold some clothes while watching TV tonight. |
