December 27

Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m going to get back on the ball starting with this week. “What have you been doing in all this time?!” you might ask… Well, I’ve been busy painting my room Bright Freakin’ Green! There’s just a tiny bit of work left, mainly the completion of the detail paint on the closet door. Once that’s done (hopefully by tomorrow night, but maybe not until Tuesday…depends on how much work it needs), photos will be on my ‘official’ website. Anyway, back to the routine…

Things I did well today:

• The little things

Things I could have done better:

• Less procrastination
• Earlier bedtime

The plan for tomorrow:

Go to the credit union, work on the closet door and finish tidying the room before work. Continue closet door work after work.

January 18

Today was a moderately productive day marred once again by procrastination. I did manage to get paint samples, sand yesterday’s plaster and put new plaster on the new drywall.

Things I did well:

• Kept on schedule with the bedroom reno project
• The little things

Things I could have done better:

• Less procrastination
• Earlier bedtime

The plan for tomorrow:

Lots of work. 8-4 in the morning, then back for the 12-8, which leaves little time for anything other than work and sleep. I’m going to sand the plaster after the 8-4, and I’d like to get some of my mess cleaned up, but that’s about it.

January 17

Even though I didn’t get through *everything* I wanted to do today, it was still a good day. I made good progress on the room, finishing cleaning, mounting drywall in the gap by my door and plastering.

Things I did well:

• Room work
• Earlyish bedtime
• The little things

Things I could have done better:

• Less procrastination

The plan for tomorrow:

Get up early, go to Home Depot and/or Lowe’s for sanding screens and to look at paints. Sand and re-plaster if needed. Maybe paint the ceiling. Go to the gym if I have time before work.

January 16

Today was pure, unadulterated unproductiveness. I did manage to stop at the credit union, but that was it.

Things I did well:

• went to the credit union

Things I could have done better:

• pretty much everything else

The plan for tomorrow:

Finish the cleaning, make the Goodwill drop (or at least prepare it), start prepping for paint. If I have time, get to the gym and practice ye olde geetar.

January 15

Today was pretty straightforward: work and cleaning. I’m doing a big purge of my closet before the painting of the room.

Things I did well:

• got most of the closet cleaning done
• the little things

Things I could have done better:

• not much, maybe an earlier bedtime

The plan for tomorrow:

Work 12-12. Finish cleaning and go to the credit union.

January 14

Today was a relatively productive day. I went to the gym in the morning and spent the rest of my time before work getting ready to switch computers with my dad, backing up all my files and creating a clone of my boot drive on an external drive. Now I have an iMac G5 for a few weeks. Granted, it’s not the 20″ aluminum iMac that I plan on bringing home later this year, but it’s a marked improvement over my lowly iBook.

Things I did well:

• Productive all day

Things I could have done better:

• The little things
• Gone to bed earlier

The plan for tomorrow:

Work until 5:30, probably go to the gym afterwards, then cleaning and guitar practice.

January 13

Today was middling. I didn’t get all that much done, although I did work 12 hours. The highlight of the day was that I picked up a frame for the poster that K got me while she was in town.

Things I did well:

• finally got the poster frame
• the little things

Things I could have done better:

• finished tidying things up around here

The plan for tomorrow:

Gym, credit union, getting the computer backed up and ready so that I can switch computers with the old man, then cleaning if time permits.

January 12

Yeah, been slacking again. Back on the wagon now, though, and riding a big high: K and I are officially an item. beside that, today was a great day: got up early, went to the gym, got a bunch of cleaning done, met up with BZ for dinner, came home, cleaned a little more, stayed up late talking w/K…

Things I did well:

• almost everything

Things I could have done better:

• gotten to bed earlier
• gotten in some serious guitar practice

The plan for tomorrow:

Maybe go to the gym in the morning, depends on how I feel when I wake up. Work 12-12, so that kills the day. I do plan to stop at Target and look for a frame for my Rush poster.

January 6

Today was rather unproductive, but that’s to be expected on a 12-hour workday. I was in exceptionally good spirits all day and finally did get caught up on emails, but once again stayed up way too late.

Things I did well:

• maintained a very positive attitude
• caught up on emails
• the little things

Things I could have done better:

• get to bed earlier
• avoid the late-night snacking

The plan for tomorrow:

Because I stayed up too late tonight, tomorrow will be tight. I’m definitely going to make a trip to the gym and to the credit union. If I have time, I’m going to hunt for poster frames.

January 4-5

I completely forgot to post yesterday. No problem, the day was a waste anyway. Kinda like today. I overslept and did exactly squat before going to work, then stayed up too late doing exactly squat after work. I have to catch myself before I go into a free-fall.

Things I did well:

Things I could have done better:

• pretty much everything.

The plan for tomorrow:

I’m working All Day, so the plans are lightweight: take the computer to work and get caught up on emails, finally! Also do some reading.
