An evening in organized chaos...

I didn't ride yesterday or make it to kung fu...projects are looming and I needed some relax time too. Mel and richard were having a ball brewing beer last night and even though one of the batches won't be done until well after Estrella (yay to Old Bumble). I managed to get down to a bit of detail work on the last banner and that is good. I headed to scribble and had a good time chatting, organizing after Estrella activities and relaxing. I received a new hangerrock from lferion and in general relaxed. I really, really needed that. Got home and made an online purchase for one of my classes I'm teaching and then headed to bed. I finished up Rest in Pieces as book 3 of my 50. Then I started reading Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher. It had a wonderful quote at the beginning that was about why one person can make a difference in a battle etc. I need to find it. Very cool.

I slept well and woke up to notice that I had a punkin under the covers snuggled up with me most of the night. Buttefly usually doesn't do the covers thing but she must have slid down when I rolled over and then I covered her up. She didn't really mind since she was uber warm.

My goals today are to 1)get off work a bit early, 2)Finish the last banner, 3) Do a load of shirts and 4) make it to FP and fight. I promise I'll eat a good dinner with some carbs to make it through and bring myself a snack. No repeats of bonking.

Those are my goals and with that I think there will be some documentation as well..but I wrote the most amazing paragraph yesterday that I made myself squee. (yes, I'm a documentation junky..so sue me).

Oh and in other news...I received the gifty from eithni for the make 5 things challenge. She sent a handwoven shawl that she had fringed for me. Its wool, its pretty and will look wonderful with my new hangerrock! Thank you! BTW, those of you on that list...after investiture is when I will start.

hmmmm....

Well, I had a lot of work today that involved lots of data mining that wasn't fun..it was just data transfer...nothing analyzed just pulling. It was tiring. Plus I was very, very cold all day.

I left my desk at 230...ended up on my metallurgists desk for 30 mins going over an issue. By the time I got home the low grade headache I've had for a few days is just making things worse. I planned on crashing out for 20 mins or so and then getting on to things and well...that didn't work so well. Mel got me toast and tea and then I finally got things going when he cleaned up the brewing equipment. I made dinner in 30mins (balsamic vinegar and tomato glazed pork chops and cous cous with black beans, cilantro and salsa). Now I've taken out trash, cleaned the cat box and am tired..ugh. Yes, I'm lame, I'm not at practice...I'm still cold and I'm under and afghan...think something is up...course I think something has been up since Sunday's sugar crash. I think its best to stay home. If I can motivate I'll finish the banner...I really should so I can spend tommorrow on laundry and documentation.

Got a few emails out on an issue I'm trying to brainstorm on...we'll see how that goes. I'm working on making friday the big "work day" for me. Cooking and final sewing (buttons on a coat and patchwork) on the docket. Then documentation and land will be the rest of the weekend. Wooo...gonna be busy.

I really hope I'm not coming down with the crud and this is just...dunno...the weather or something.
