Back to work

Had a great long weekend visiting with my family and friends. It’s hard to get down to work after all that, but I guess I’ll give it a shot. :)

Found out Friday that my glucose levels are on the high side, which doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows me… Time to get that under control. No more massive cake consumption. :) It’s important for the baby’s health, of course, and also because overdoing carbs/sugar is likely to make him bigger, which could mean a C-section, and I’d rather avoid that if possible. That’s pretty motivating.

Neither Daniel or I have historically been “yoga people” (though we both are aware of its benefits) but yesterday I ordered both of us some yoga workouts on DVD.

Mine are for 3rd trimester of pregnancy, and will hopefully help with flexibility and strength for labor and delivery. His are cycling-specific and supposed to help with “mental toughness” among other things—but the catalyst is that guys who beat him on the bike recommended them. :)

Oh, and we finally bought a new mattress set yesterday—it was only a month late for the anniversary present to ourselves that it was intended to be! We were pleasantly surprised by both the service and the prices at Denver Mattress, and enjoyed a good night’s sleep. At some point we’ll need to do the great mattress swap and move our old one to the nursery and the one in the nursery to Peter and Leanna’s apartment.

Most Important Tasks

  • Invoice the client who has a weird accounting schedule
  • Check my music for next weekend’s church services
  • Migrate my church website to WordPress MU for better expandability

The reward

Free time!

Plowing through

Yesterday was a smashing success. I battered through loads of resistance and came out with my MITs done. I’ve already ordered my book.

I’m on a new idea rampage and have several I’d like to pursue. That’s usually slightly dangerous as I end up dropping things I already am working on, and the pattern repeats about every three or four months, so I don’t actually launch anything.

Accompanying the new idea rampage is the inevitable domain name rampage. So many good domain names available, so little time to develop them all! Must… resist…

In other news, Daniel and I went to KTSY’s donor banquet and listener appreciation concert last night. We picked the days we want to sponsor this year: International Talk Like a Pirate Day (which also happens to be our anniversary) and William Wilberforce’s birthday (last year we did Leap Day and Pi Day). :)

The concert part was excellent. The band 33 Miles played, and despite having a harrowing day of travel, did a great job. I particularly appreciated their emphasis on worship and God—unfortunately I’ve seen many Christian bands who seem like they’re mostly there to have fun, be stars, etc. and God is kind of an afterthought. This was refreshing.

Most Important Tasks

  • A bit of client work (another couple of upgrades, and a requested template tweak)
  • Set up my blogging course on a public server and get membership plugin working with it
  • Spend at least one hour on a new theme for a client

The reward

Two domains. :)
