Happy Friday Everyone!

Well, things are looking up...since its Friday!

I managed to get all of my documentation into HL Raven (KMOAS) except the temple pendant one since it was on the home laptop. Not too shabby.

I managed to finish up the leaves on the embroidery last night and now I have the middle sections to do. Which means, in all probability if I just buckle down this weekend I could theoretically get everything done. Theoretically. I'm planning on some personal pampering today that will probably kill a few hours but yeah, if I stay on task and tonights metal work cleanup goes good I could be sailing free and clear for next week.

Though one thing that is bothering me is my hands. The 15 hours of typing I seem to be doing a day is not helping. I guess carpal tunnel is also a symptom of pregnancy as well (scary, no?) and I need to be resting things better. But..well, you know me. Push on until I physically can't. Will try to be good. Need to see if walgreens has a replacement wax bath and get another one so that should help. We shall see. I only hope to work on final edits of documentation next week so that isn't too bad. Heck, I might even be able to make it out to practice for once which would be nice and convenient for delivering pampered chef stuff. Me being social would be good...I'm missing people at this point.

So time to finish up some more paperwork and then head out for the afternoon.  But if you want..here is everything I read, looked and at referenced for my projects...this doesn't include the books I didn't find anything in though...that is probably 20 more.
