Monday morning for the Delaware YMCA Louvers, I had to drive up to Piqua to get the louvers from the powder coating facility. I did not follow up on Thursday or Friday with Response the week before, therefore I am the one to go get the parts.
Monday afternoon, the louvers do not fit on the fixtures. I drive the parts to response along with a fixture to show them how they are not fitting.

Tuesday. I have left my portfolio home as I planned to work on my self-review Monday night. I come home at lunch to get my portfolio. I have chosen to turn my review in before vacation.
Tuesday afternoon. I rush through putting my comments down on my self review. I probably scribble something incoherent about wanting to be paid salary.

Monday Morning. I feel it is easy to hold my self accountable for the decisions I have made. I am very tempted to move on to working on the second decision to seeking wisdom. But I am going to work on the 7th decision of persisting with out exception. 3 weeks of working on being responsible for my past and my future. I just realized I have not been working as hard on determining my future. I am working on that now by getting up at 5:30 a.m.

Tuesday Morning. I am going to work on market research on 5 of my ideas. I am expecting a long day at work today. I came back and immediately needed to be at Marathon yesterday morning. I could have skipped and went just to the office. I decided it would be better to get the information I needed from Marathon directly. I am sure I made the correct decision. I am also going to work on getting in touch with an expert on RFID.

I fell off the wagon and I am working to get back on. Today is a Tuesday and the first day of school for my oldest two children. There are a lot of challenges ahead this week but there were a lot of challenges yesterday and I have made it through to today.

I am attempting to take the Happiness approach. I need to look into some more Zig Ziglar and get me over any mental hurdles I am having. I struggle because I do not feel true to my self opening up about things.

It is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Keeping track of this on a single blog page does not seem to be working. I still need to work on steps 2 and 3 badly. But trying to track the steps here is not working. I need to e-mail them to myself and put them in Onenote at work.
