Avatar for sneaks

I've actually decided not to do anything tonight. I've had a few too many days of sitting aruond all day doing 1 or 2 things. I think I need a clean break, then start afresh tomorrow (after a bit of sleep!)

A

Yeah why not Sneaks...
I need to get this finished.. been looking at it too long... Chapter 5 now

E

After spending yesterday evening in drinking beer with my hus and our friends, I came bake home at midnight( I have should know that waiting my hus to come bake home with him means that I want to waste few hours in nothing)

So today is a new day
goal 1 is finishing an article in 2 hours and take notes

C

Can I join in?

GOAL 1 is to tidy/clean the flat so that that I can actually sit and work in it without feeling sick!

A

Hey up folks!
Today's goal 1 is to have a look at my presentation and see what needs changing for a talk I'm doing on Monday! Goal 2 is to make those changes. Then Goal 3 is off home to get ready to go to the airport and collect my boyf who I'm seeing for the first time in 4 weeks! yay!
Good luck with your fresh start sneaks and Amanda, keep on trucking, you are so very close to the end!!

Happy St Georges Day! (robin) - not quite a dragon, but we can imagine!

I have had a slow start, got a bit of a headache, although taken antihistamine (for hayfever) and neurofen, but its still not budging. THinking maybe its sugar addiction, which is pretty bad!

I have to go to my mother in law's house today because she wants me to move a bookcase :-s - that's £30 in petrol and 2 hours driving (down)
But I'm going to try and get a load of stuff done beforehand,just plugging away with the analyses.

I'm going to go with mytomatoes today and my radio up high to try and keep at it.

Teaching prep done. Next goal is to input notes and references from the week's reading into Zotero.

Heh, CeCeF, that's my first goal for today as well - get the flat tidy enough that I can actually sit at my table and spread my papers out.

Second goal - look at the structure of a dozen papers from a journal I want to submit an article to, so I can write mine to suit the journal.

C

Goal 1 - DONE! My flat won't be winning any cleaning awards but it's much better than it was an hour or two ago!

GOAL 2 - Go through Chapter 5 and work out what bits need redrating and what can stay as it is.

C

Hey, this is working! One goal at a time!

GOAL 2: done already! Lots of redrafting to do, but at least I know where I stand.

Next: lunch with my mum and then GOAL 3 - write 300 words analysing a particular source.

Good luck with your goals everyone.

I'm struggling with my analysis, I'm doing one - I think the lady just phrases thigns wierdly because I can't code it correctly. Rather than talking about herself she talks in hypothetical examples but is really referring to her - stupid woman!

WOO i've finally finished that annoying analysis. Problem is I have to walk the dog, before going to mother in law's so don't think i will have a chance to do much else today. hmph.

S

Goal achieved: references and notes all organised. I've been reading a lot this week.

I'm going to wind down for the rest of the day reading an article or two.

Next week my goal is to get back into some analyses, as I don't think 3pm on a Friday afternoon is the time to do so.

Goal one not even half done. Hmm. I just can't get motivated today, I think it's the gorgeous sunshine. Maybe I'll let myself off work today and do some tomorrow instead.
