Tamara has a place to live - not only that, but it is available now... can start moving things in as soon as she figures out how she's going to do that.
***update*** - she just got a message from the supposed landlord saying that one of the other guys has rented her loft to someone else. So now she's back to nothing again. &$%$$#!
Jess is signed up for her placement.
I am signed up for school.
I am also making progress on both my essay and my novel....
I have an appointment re: a smoking cessation program on Sept. 4. Decided that it made sense to try to do some things now that will make it easier. So this morning, I did not smoke until I had been up for half an hour. And that didn't kill me, so then I decided that I would also no longer smoke in the house at the computer.
So now I work on my essay for however long... and when I get bored and/or want a cigarette, I move outside and after I have my cigarette I work on the novel for awhile on the laptop on the deck. When I get cold (it is cool and raining heavily right now) I come back in and get back to work on the essay.
It seems to be working for me - both in terms of reducing the amount I am smoking, and in making progress on both big tasks I have in front of me right now.
Still could use a job .... part time.... for this semester.... but what the heck....everything else is working out....why not that too? Perhaps I will get enough students for the courses I'm assigned to teach to run ...and if not, something else will just have to work out, right?
And if all else fails, at least I know that in January I have work.

What I am happiest about is your steps to stop smoking. Just remember one day at a time. I know you can succeed in this.
I'm going to be on my way to the ER...friend either over dosed on meds or had a stroke...she called me before calling the ambulance...
Do you do daily journal's? I have 3 levels I do in my journal, 1 is to list my goals for the day. I do not call it a to-do list because that puts too much pressure on me. Maybe I'll publish an article with a sample. I have found the days when I journal I get the most accomplished because I outline my day.
Good luck on quitting smoking. Bless you.
feels like back to square one again with kid without housing again!
I am a lot more productive when I do it faithfully .... tend to use it to figure out what I actually need to get done, what can wait...and what I'm stressing about that I need to stop stressing about
but then the kid's housing fell through for the second time and now everything's back to shit again
AWESOME on the smoking!!
I have one friend at GC that's tried it.... she tells me it works... but every time she sees me she wants to go outside and smoke while she tells me about it.... ummm....
