Changing my daily format

I’ve slowly been building up more and more resistence to my daily update post (as evidenced by its recently-spotty appearance), so I’m going to try something else for a while.
You’ll notice that there’s a couple of new sections on the sidebar: one is my list (now maintained at my favorite online list [...]

Quick list and a mini-movie

I’m feeling lazy about posting this week, so I’ll just put up my quick list and leave you with a video I enjoyed.
Most Important Tasks

Tweaks for one client
Write back to theme-creation inquiry
Tweaks for another client

The reward
Subscription to All You magazine, which I’ve been tempting myself with for several months.

New week, new month, new time

It’s the dreaded first business day of the month, which means… invoicing day. Oh, well. As much as I hate the paperwork, invoicing (sometimes) means getting payments, so there you have it.
Had a fun weekend, am feeling much better (and hopefully will be sounding good enough to sing this weekend—it’s our band’s [...]

My holiday spirit kind of wandered off…

Every day feeling a little better. Still napping like a… um… cat. Aren’t you glad I just have a cold and not something actually serious? I could be moaning about that for months!
No word yet on the pumpkin contest but they were expecting some entries to come in late last evening and [...]

Feeling lucky?

Marginally better today, but still feeling exhausted.
The one potentially exciting thing about today: Leanna and I carved a pumpkin for her apartment’s contest, and it’s being judged today. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place each get a month’s free rent, so we’re really hoping. We went the “kiss-up” route, which is kind of a gamble, but [...]

Productivity seems unattainable…

Meh. Still feeling distinctly like I’ve been hit by a bus. Didn’t sleep well at all, so I’ll probably be working between naps.
Most Important Tasks

Finish first draft of front page for client theme
Clarify color expectations with another client

The reward
Can’t bring myself to care at this point.

Work week… huh?

Had a good weekend, but feel like death warmed over this morning. I’m coming down with either a sinus infection or a head cold, and I’m just glad to be working from home. Too bad self-employment doesn’t provide benefits like sick time.
Going to keep it light today and see if [...]

Friday, happy Friday

Still alive despite the carrots (and added them to today’s smoothie, too). I can tell you’re relieved.
You might have noticed from my last few rewards that I’m kind of on a crafty kick. I go through phases, and it seems that I am doing the “nesting” thing that pregnant women do, it’s [...]

Tricking myself into healthy-baby-incubating

I’m so brave. I’m sure you’ll all be tremendously impressed to learn that I put some cooked carrot in my protein smoothie this morning, despite being irrationally afraid of veggies. This was my mom’s suggestion, and so far, it hasn’t killed me (should probably consider that statement “pending” for 24 hours or [...]

Is it seriously Wednesday already?!

Tired. Got my MITs done yesterday and spent some of my free time reading a book called Active Birth. It provides a lot of information and specific ideas for healthier delivery, and I like that it’s generally positive, as opposed to some resources on natural childbirth that tend to villanize the [...]
