Jim's Café - Monday, November 14, 2016

[Acy]

Good morning and welcome to Jim's Café!

Coffee and tea are in the carafes on the counter; we can offer you special chai, lattes, and cappuccinos for an extra big smile from you!

Breakfast today:

orange juice, pomegranate juice, wild blueberry juice
homemade multigrain rolls with butter and jam
granola and milk of choice
hot oatmeal with cinnamon and brown sugar
scrambled eggs with bacon
meat protein substitute "bacon"
fresh fruit to go (for mid-morning snack)

Please pick up one of the freebie mini-notepads with the SF logo provided by @Freya and @NYJmpMaster. These are for today's Café Challenge (and can be used for the same thing in the days to come). Please make a list of three small goals you hope to achieve today; leave room beneath each one. As you get them done, use the extra room for notes on how you achieved that goal, or what happened that got in the way. If something got in the way, see if you can think of a way around that so that you can still achieve it.

Acy's List

Prepare for work tonight - activities for R, print outs

Look for the inexpensive pocket calendars available at the craft store (buy five to hand out to committee this week)

-

-

Do some of your writing for the writing group. Write for at least 15 minutes.

​

I will come back before the end of the day and fill in this chart or add a status update for my list. Please do the same for your own list.

Hey @Acy - what a motivated person you are today!! But is nice to make plans for a day and seemed like the SF stationary or notebook woudl be appropriate so here it is for any that would like to have it

 

[Acy]

@NYJmpMaster The pages are lovely! Thank you very much!!


I have completed my first goal - I'm prepped for work tonight. It's often the biggest challenge as I work with a developmentally delayed adult and must develop "learning" activities that benefit and are within her abilities.

Off to the craft store soon, and I hope the calendars are FINALLY in.

Goal Status Update:

I went to look for the pocket calendars. They're not in yet. However, at the same plaza, I went into another store, where I found a birthday gift for my friend for Thursday, and a Christmas for someone else.

Now to Goal #3: Writing for my writing group. I keep procrastinating. I am not sure why. If I force myself today, maybe it will get done. Fifteen minutes minimum is really not that long. As soon as I've had my water and a moment to settle, I'll give it a try.

1. Do not crush any soul (figuratively)
2. Crack the broken glass bowl up and see if I can sand the pieces down to put in the fish tank
3. Do my leg stretches and excerisr with the leg band

@Acy ive been seeing those pocket calendar at the dollar tree stores around here since Oct I swore I got one but cant find it so got to get another one as I already have the schedule for doctor appointment to fill out.

Cheers everyone

My main goal is to not let work get me down. I hope no one tells me to kiss their ass again, lol. I will just ignore these jabs and do the best I can.

Lol that really made me LOL. How often out of how many calls you get for responders like that?

 

[Rockclimbinggirl]

I have had my dinner tonight

Got studying done too.

And went to all my classes and stuff today.

@Acy Thanks for starting the Café this morning and asking about our goals for today.

A couple out of every few hundred I call, so it's not too bad. They have said worse things to other people, so I am glad I haven't had to deal with that yet.

Update:

Goal 1: successful did not knowingly crush someones soul.

Goal 2: time wasn't my friend and I'm back home from work and not want to wake people up hammering away at the bowl

Goal 3: fail....double leg excerise tomorrow. First thing I do when I wake up and before I go to work!


At least 1 out of 3 isn't so bad
