Very busy this week
May. 2nd, 2012 10:04 pmBusy is good, right?
During times like this when I feel absolutely brain-dead, I remind myself that when the money from all this work starts rolling in, I will dig myself that much more out of the hole. I paid the bills except for one today, and that one will get paid in a day or two, just in time for the new billing cycle to begin (roughly May 10th for most of my utilities). Still, I'm actually CAUGHT UP. Two years ago, I wasn't caught up with the winter bills until almost September, last year it was late June, and this year, with help from the mild winter, I'm already caught up.
I'll get there.
In other news, I dropped the Udacity classes for this semester. I simply don't have the energy. The things I have been working on are quite complex, and when I put the work down, the last thing on earth I want to do is look at more code--I am just not capable of thinking straight at that point. Work is taking up six days, and I really don't want to spend the 7th doing still more code.
They offer the courses every seven weeks, so I'll just start again on the next cycle, by then things should be less brain-power intensive.
The arm continues to improve. While it can be a little painful to do certain things, the pain is mild and very short-lived. I'm still not out doing yard work because the last thing I want to do is re-injure myself and end up with one arm for the entire summer as well. That will be something I will work my way up to as the healing continues. I am going to be so glad when it gets to the point that I can forget about it!
I did squeeze in enough free time to do a story critique a couple of days ago, so I was happy about that--hopefully I can get back to doing them more regularly. And do some writing!
