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 “on” week). Just did one of my new yoga DVDs and am happy I purchased it—I think it will help with labor and delivery (assuming I keep doing it! ).

Never heard back about the pumpkin contest, so that’s an assumed “no.” Was hoping it would pay off, but in the end it was really just a $7 gamble (well, you know, plus the hours and hours of carving but those were fun).

Most Important Tasks

• Invoicing
• Style my small WordPress-based gallery plugin
• Make a couple of small client-requested tweaks

The reward

Play time with colors, themes, and Twitter backgrounds. Or sewing.

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!
