Thursday busy
Dec. 10th, 2010 07:33 amWell, work was kind of busy...we had a morale lunch at the Star Pass Resort that was nice but that was 3 hours of my day I missed and when I got back it was very hard to get things working in my brain. I got a few things done but nary a word was written on my report, though the data did get organized. I did figure out which some chatter with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
metalsaurus that the reason this report is taking forever is that its not my data or my analysis. I'm just regurgitating information in an easy to read form and that is irksome to me. If it was my own stuff I'd easily be able to expound on it but with the 20 reports I'm compiling I have to keep asking questions back to the people who wrote them to get things worked out correctly and to make sure I can explain them in simple terms that our customer can understand and not misinterpret. That last part is the key. Oh, well. Today I have no meetings and my goal is to get the 2 sections I've been swirling over done so I can hit the last test next week when I get that outbrief report. So, that is my goal and dammit I'm gonna make it. Headphone have already been pulled from the desk.
Got home and quickly changed clothes for the gym. My time was tight but I managed to get all of my leg exercises done, got sets on pushups using the smith machine (which does not put strain on my tummy) and hit the treadmill for 20 mins. The podling was not letting me walk fast and I kept getting a side ached but I knew that if I didn't walk some after lifting that my body would hate me in the morning.
Got home and grabbed a quick dinner of protein and toast and then got gussied up to head to arts night for the B&B candidate Meet and Greet. I got to kiss mel just before I left since he had gotten home from kung fu and was heading to St. Felix Practice. The hall we ended up in due to the maintenance guy being gone was very nice. I had good chats with 2 out of the 3 candidates and will continue the other discourse with the 3rd set later next week or weekend. I'm not sure what I expected out of the meet and greet since the information of the format was sparse but I think it worked out well with the small crew of people that were there. The pelicans of course brought out snackies and I also got to teach Tully how to purl and Adalize how to use DPN's so some art did happen. Got home after chatting with the BFF and the cats were ecstatic that I was home and would feed them even though it was late. I got a shower and then the girls tried valiantly to convince me that they needed to be fed even though I had done that already. I enjoyed a cup of tea, some Johnny Quest and some knitting before I curled into bed kinda late. Mel got home as I was reading and he was quickly showered and we both curled up.
I was awoke by an odd noise just as I was falling asleep and I wasn't sure what it was. About 330 that same noise happened and woke both mel and I up. Not sure what it was at still. But it wasn't caused by the girls since they were curled up with me the second time. Then my legs started to bother me...which I'm now seeing as a sign of me working out, not of the pregnancy. This time it wasn't as bad but I tossed and turned a bit to stay comfy. Plus butterfly was laying on me and the belly partly and that was not comfortable and I had to keep pushing her off which then got her and her sister into a tussle. Mel had observed obsidian pushing the dominance button with butterfly before he left for practice and I guess this was a bit of spill over.
So, its friday. Things on the agenda include the street fair, working on the xmas ornament commission, Mons Yule and a household get together and getting the fruit cake stuff together. Busy but it should be fun and relaxing. I hope to walk a lot on Saturday to help with the me and the podling keeping ahead of all of the sweets we've had this week and I hope to get most of the commission done and get Becca's present finished. I need to put down mel's present and mom's until that is done otherwise I'm not gonna make any progress. Though this does mean that I need mel to move the bed out of my studio so I have floor space and access to my machines for other gifts that need to also get done. Its crunch time but I'm looking at things a bit brighter since I know I have the 17-22 off with no one visiting to get the house and the presents all in order. So, here is to accomplishing my goals for the weekend.
