Weather break

As much as I'm THRILLED that it's cooler today, the cloudy weather looks really dreary from my home office window and it's making me want to go take a nap! Last Thursday I "worked" at home and accomplished next to nothing. I'm trying not to repeat that today. It's a long weekend coming up- after a lab tomorrow, I don't teach until next Wednesday and my birthday is on Monday. I should get some research stuff done today, so that I can feel good about relaxing over the weekend. I'm made a schedule and so far, I've spent the first 26 minutes of this hour (which I designated as time to do a specific task) reading and writing emails, moving my monitor back further on my desk (so as not to waste space), then dusting my desk. Now I'm blogging. OK- that's it. I'm going to get out the papers I need, open the Word file and DO SOMETHING. Right now. Ok, right now, then. Really. Right now.
