BUT then in the last 24 hours, my credit card bill has started to go up again. I paid for my health practitioner registration $403, phone bill $40, travel accessories $2, and I made a SASA order of $74 so I could get free shipping. My rationale is that I won't have time to buy these things on my short stay in hk. On the bright side, most of the things I bought on SASA was buy one get one free, substantially discounted or I cannot buy them in Australia. I would say these are necessary costs. But there is still a sense of guilt involved. I know what I should be doing, but I'm not doing it. 

This morning got off to a good start. Went on a morning walk with my mum, headed off to coffee. But then I got home and haven't really done much work ~ I know it's a Saturday but if my deadline is 31/12/2012 then I need to start cracking the whip. 

Here what November looks like...

- Finish poster for conference

- Go to conference (then off hiking for a couple of days)

- Manuscript for conference paper (I've only done the method section, so this will take a while) ~ Sp1

- Submitting HN paper (already fully drafted, need the other authors to read through the paper) ~ HN1

- Major analyses for EC ~ hoping to use parallel processes on AMOS/ MPLUS (if I can get my hands on it)

- Review paper manuscript draft (probably be a December task).

- Church activities (prepare for last bible study, prepare for young people's relationship seminar, prepare for last teaching session)

- Personal activities (mailing out Christmas cards and preparing Christmas presents). 

- Aim to complete 3 x 5km runs a week with weights in between

- Aim to get down to x3 before going to HK. 

- Aim to work out some music for Christmas worship in HK.

Looks like a busy month, can't forget to spend time in devotion and ask for strength during this extreme busy season.
