Sheila - At least you chose an English-speaking country! I'm not sure how long I've been in Japan (even though I get asked ALL the time) - maybe about 25 years.
1) Private lesson (have computer ready). 2) Curves [either between or after classes]. 3) Private class - Halloween "ears" and candy. 4) Chop vegetables for stir fry.
- Aqua Aerobics - Supermarket - top up odds and ends - Nursery for plants with neighbour/friend - Quiet day - research for some services 1000 miles away in Pretoria for my Energy Buddy
(Not in the mood for much today - friend/gym pal who went to the Nursery with me, may have to have a double mastectomy - both very reflective today)

Sheila - That kind of incompetence is simply uncalled for! I'm getting so totally spoiled here in Japan, where the staff would be terribly embarrassed if even one of those things happened and go out of their way to make it right.
1) Private lesson (have Mockingbird computer page open). 2) Lesson at Apple store. 3) Private classes aft. and eve. 4) If time, email private retirement company about plans for lifetime annuity.
DD2 returned to hospital for her Gastroscopy - would you believe it, they had lost all reference to an appointment, didn't have her file, can't get any industrial strength painkillers - has to see her own GP who can't see her for a week! UK NHS - I thought people were exaggerating when I read how bad they are - she's not fit to be chasing non-existing appointments, losing pay etc
Tuesday 23 October
- Birthday greetings to be sent to a cousin-in-law (very special) and a gym buddy - Aqua aerobics - Send Mystery Diner report to friend/neighbour for adds and omits - Prepare student room and bathroom - moving Swiss student as incoming Italian will stay for 4 months and I don't want to give up my bathroom for that long!

Oh, baby girl is 32? I was wondering about that. Hope that all turns out well in the end.
√ 1) Mail conference announcement to language teachers list. √ 2) Move as many photos as possible from backup hard disk. √ 3) Check private student's essay. √ 4) Get a teensy weensy bit caught up on email. (It keeps coming and coming.)
Baby girl DD2 (32!) has gone home for the weekend - no MRI (MRCP) - she had a second ultrasound instead with doppler - having a gastroscopy on Monday - wouldn't it have saved all this aggro if they'd done that on Tuesday when admitted and she told them about her ulcer? Grr. Altho happy to be home, she admits to feeling very ill
Saturday 20 October
- Boxing - Fuse Ball - Rugby on TV - semi-finals of Provincial Cup - Currie Cup - Hopefully neighbour/friend/client will come over for TV and Dinner - it's Norwegian salmon tonight :)

Agree on the throwing of toys! Tough kid!
√ 1) Private lesson. √ 2) Curves. √ 3) Get caught up on school stuff, including attendance sheets and uploading photos of students to class website. √ 4) Walk in the park, weather permitting. [Sunday morning]
MRI (MRCP) today to rule out other stuff - she's throwing her toys and wanting to go home since nothing is happening, they keep getting her food so wrong that she hasn't eaten since Monday, they dehydrated her and now say her liver function is abnormal. I'd throw my toys too!
Friday 19 October
- Aqua - BodyWorx - Supermarket - It's raining so I can't do the weeds so I guess I'll have to do some of the Admin :(

Thanks, Sheila. The typhoon veered off to the east before it got as far north as Hokkaido. At least one person wrote his house was shaking, but all my FB friends are posting as normal.
√ 1) Teach / teach. √ 2) Post reminder about Thursday's language teachers' group meeting. √ 3) Vacuum mattress to get rid of the little buggies that have been biting me on the stomach √ and thigh! Then change sheets. √ 4) Rehearsal.

1) Teach / teach. 2) Buy cat food? (Depends on how bad the effects of the typhoon are.) 3) Curves. 4) Get backpack ready for Tuesday's classes.
Every day make a "to-do list." A Microsoft CEO shared with his employees his secret to success. He said every day he'd make a to-do list topped with 4 things that he REALLY wanted to get done. Then he'd throw away the rest of the list. If Microsoft's CEO can accomplish only 4 things in a day, what makes you any different? Start prioritizing yourself and you'll get the most important things done. The rest can wait til another day to be in the top 4.
On this forum, feel free to post your "top 4" and how you are progressing. Let's get the most out of our days and start prioritizing the things we need to get done most!
