1. Work/Programming
Current project is being a bugger. I’m hammering it out.. but every solution leads to two more problems.. ADD TO THAT a DB field that I thought was going to be a String ended up being a Double. PITA to fix that.
I may end up logging in on Sunday to put some time into the project.
March Madness is over (Thank God). No one died.. and only minor burns from all the hair on fire.
2. Home
I keep flipping from liking my house to loathing my house. I like certain parts of my house.. but overall.. I really wish I’d waited to buy.
Some guy is predicting a HUGE earthquake for somewhere on the US West Coast between now and the 26th (link). I don’t doubt that there will be a huge quake at some point.. but I’m bothered by his specificity. Sadly my first thought is to save my animals (dogs, cat, birds) and my second.. no wait.. um.. 45th thought is to feel bad that my house might fall down, be pushed over by water or burn to the ground in the aftermath. I’m sure if something actually does come to pass I’ll feel differently. We’ll see.
3. Health
I continue to be a champ at maintaining my weight. Which I guess is better then losing ground. Well ok, that’s not entirely true. I’m back to my “normal” weight after my slight gain over last weekend. I think I need to get back into the honeymoon phase where I was losing 3 lbs a week.. that was way more fun.
C25K is progressing. Officially the first three runs feel easy, then the first two minutes of the last run feel ok.. but the last minute is just painful. So I’m sticking to week three for another week. I want the WHOLE thing to feel easy before bump it up to the next plateau. On the plus side I’m getting -really- good at week 3 and it -does- actually feel like I’m making progress.
4. Projects
Meh. Lack of progress. Need more days in the weeks. Or rather I need to stop volunteering for things and just have a couple of stay-at-home nights to get stuff done.
This last week:
Mon: WoW Raiding
Tue: Sewing at Etaine;s
Wed: WoW Raiding
Thur: Recording podcast
Fri: Prep for Crown
Next week should be better. I have much fewer commitments.
On Saturday I’m supposed to meet a guy for a refresher on naalbinding. I tried to do that while we were down and LA and realized I’d totally forgotten everything I’d learned. So Saturday.. I plan to take TONS of pictures.
5.
My boots arrived and they fit. I’m Giddy with Happy. This means that -maybe- my toes won’t get wet and frozen at site tomorrow.
I’m going to Crown strictly as a social beast. My honey is in LA so he’s not competing.. so I’m not consorting. My friends who I would say are favored in the competition are “taking time off the SCA.” So honestly.. I feel like I “have no dog in this fight”. We’ll see how it goes and who ends up winning. I may feel differently then.
