Be up and at ‘em by nine (daily)

I’ve been sleeping in, and then not getting dressed, and there’s so much I could do if I was ready to take the day on by nine (a.m., that is).

I want to be a little bit like William Faulker (but more succinct), who was up and dressed (in a suit) and in front of his typewriter bright and early.

but I did do one really big thing last week. I quit my job!!! My last day will be this Thursday, July 19th.

1. My primary focus through this time will be to finish school (this is my last semester), and lead a balanced life at the same time.
2. So, this week my goal is to get through my last week of work and school. Try to savor every last moment of my job, because I do love a lot about it: the people and the things I’ve learned there. And to do Flylady (like glue), keep up my energy, and prepare my Master Plan for my final semester for school.
3. I would also like to plan some celebrations. One for quitting my job, and another one for my belated birthday, which was a milestone. I had a small party (my birthday is Christmas day, so somewhat of a conflict for lots of people), but I’d like to have something bigger.
