Sheila - Makes me so sad to hear that. Yet, I remember that, just before I left Boston, my car window was broken in my parking (smashing the car against the brick wall of the building). All that was in the car were empty boxes for packing and some English books. The latter got scattered on the parking lot. I think it may have been drug-related. Dunno.
√ 1) Go through stacks of materials, sorting, filing, and recycling (lots, I hope). - 2) Curves. √ 3) Practice "The Seal Lullaby" for Virtual Choir.
CA - our cars have electronic security systems, immobilisers in case of hijacking, additional gear locks and radio/CDs have removable faces to deter break-ins and removal. Some people leave the glove box open to show there's nothing left in there of any value, and it's ridiculous to think of leaving a shopping bag in view - whether it's full of recycling or valuables. Oh, and when driving, it's a good idea for a handbag to be in the boot, out of sight, as there can be a smash and grab at traffic lights or Stop streets. The Liberal attitude seems to be that it's a case of the haves and have nots, etc etc. My attitude is that some thieving rat bags have no moral compass and can't leave other people's things alone.
Sunday 17 March - Happy St Patrick's Day (esp.to Late DH2)
- Water refills - Hardware store to exchange light bulbs for correct connection, etc - Supermarket and health store (get some herbal antibiotics to help my system eradicate this lurgy) - Cricket on TV

Sheila - That is truly eye-opening. My classroom (in the apt. across the hall from mine) is never locked. Sometimes I even forget to lock my own apt. at night. I try not to get lax living in a country that's so safe!
√ 1) Wash clothes. √ 2) Do lots of vacuuming - under and behind things. √ 3) Do that darn narration sample, and write to the company about the dates since haven't heard from them. √ 4) Practice "Seal Lullaby," including a practice recording; set up lesson with voice teacher.

Yes - we have burglar alarms (recently overhauled and new pieces of wire put in), security bars on all opening windows, gates on all doors, pay for local armed response security company and bicycle patrol, belong to Neighbourhood Watch and get frequent email reports and alerts, also a subscriber to a Police FB page that does visible patrols and updates - we add our comments about the nefarious goings-on, suspicious-looking vehicles in the area, etc. Communications (phones TV internet) and security/insurance are huge gobblers of my paltry income! If we don't have the bars, alarms and armed response, our insurance companies can refuse to take us on as poor risk. It's a fabulous country, just a darned shame about so many of the people :(
Saturday 16 March
- Boxing (again, only one class as I need to pace myself) - Get some herbal/homeopathic antibiotics from health shop - Curl up and watch Rugby on TV - Try to go to DS's birthday celebration

√ 1) Send attendance sheets from last semester to Fuji University. √ 2) Update and print out résumé. √ 3) Send announcement about meetings to language teachers. √ 4) Shovel snow.
BONUS: √ Practice new piece for Virtual Choir. √ Put away health food and Costco orders, if they arrive.
CA - if we *needed* to drink bought water, I would supply it (we also pay for the municipal tap water, of course). We don't though, and it's my time, effort and decision to go to the stream to collect, usually on foot so that I get the mileage and the ST carrying it back.
Saturday 9 March
- FuseBall - Boxing - Meet a gym friend for coffee - Return a Tshirt for credit - wrong size - labelling is inconsistent lately - Rugby with DBB - walk there and back and climb lots of stairs 85 up, 17 down; 17 up and 85 down :)

CA - another chapter for the book of TEFL student hosting / couch surfing??

- 1) Fill out forms for Human Resource Center for possible side jobs. √ 2) Private class (turn on heat about an hour before). √ 3) Tons of email to go through and respond to. √ 4) Private class (send email with handouts for next couple of classes).

You guys crack me up! It would be rather like leaving your Christmas tree up until April! Actually, the dolls have been out since I put my little Christmas tree away, and they'll come out again next year. They need to rest!
√ 1) Lesson at Apple store. √ 2) Curves. - 3) Complete yesterday's Top 4. - 4) Start getting back on a regular sleeping schedule.
CA - I agree with Sheila - I'd leave the dolls out
Sunday 3 March
- wash dishes and organize kitchen a bit - shop, but keep list short to get in and out quickly - move the pile of leaves in yard + other yard work - pay bills, balance √ book and declutter desk area

ROTFL - Would you want to be married, CA? I suppose it might be good to have help shovelling snow! To have to answer to someone about a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. such as when to go for a walk, when to change kitty litter, etc., is something I'd need to give careful thought ... just saying :)
Sunday 3 March
Neighbourhood Walk Recycling Supermarket for perishables See neighbour/friend to confirm Monday lift-club

Friday, March 1st
The big day has finally arrived! I've been so excited that I forgot to make a new list for March,, but it's up now!
√ 1) Listen to voice lesson, that I recorded. √ 2) Warm up. √ 3) Dress rehearsal. 4) Sing with international group at 4:30 a.m. my time, actually on the 2nd.
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!
