This past week...
I should really start writing these posts earlier in the day when I'm still in a half-decent mood. By this time I'm usually mired in post-work crabbiness and tiredness, and I'm sure that has some effect on what I talk about. =\
The goals yo-yo is still going strong - scores bounced back up this week, but then again so did my weight. Sleep (surprisingly) and most other daily activities were solid, but exercise was once again almost non-existent due to continuing problems with my knee. Fortunately the worst of the pain has subsided, but some spots still hurt, and I don't feel very sure-footed on stairs yet.
Work threw a wrench at me last week (well, all of us really). We've been getting ready to move to a new office, which was supposed to happen this coming Friday. But last week they told us on Wednesday that they wanted us out in 2 days. Most of us had already done a lot of preparation, but talk a bout a mad scramble to get it all done on time. And to top it off, the new office won't be ready until the second week of September! So now we're all on a three-week stint of working from home.
Anybody out there regularly work from home? Do you like it? Because I hate it. I've barely left the house, my routines are shot to shit, I'm less productive and quicker to get frustrated - and it's only been 3 days. It hasn't helped my activity levels either. My daily step count has averaged just under 2000 this week, compared to my normal average of close to 7000. I was going to go for a short walk today to test out the knee, but we had a storm roll through at lunch-time so I'll try again tomorrow.
I have managed to finalize plans for a couple of home-improvement projects I'm having done next month, which I've been looking forward to all year. And I've got some social plans lining up for later next week that should be a good time. But much of the coming week looks pretty uneventful right now, and I think it would do me well to figure out something fun to do on the weekend.
Well, the house just shook from a clap of thunder, so before I lose power (too often an occurrence around here) I'll sign off for today. Talk to you again soon. =]
