This past week...
Yup, a day late again, but I was so exhausted yesterday - I had no capacity for writing anything and I was asleep by 8:00. Oh well, feeling much more coherent today, and there's lots to talk about.
Last week I went to a concert that ended up being infinitely better than I was expecting. It had been a really hard sell to get me to agree to go, but it was a great show. I also spent Saturday afternoon with my good friend at a nearby annual fair. There were several busker-type acts, some aerialists, and lots of people dressed in steam-punk attire. Plenty to see and do, and a really fun day. As well, the epoxy coating on my back porch got completed, and it looks fantastic.
I've taken a couple more impromptu afternoons off work, which has been good for me considering how poorly I tolerate working from home. Still at least two more weeks of that though - and the end can't come soon enough. Work has continued to be OK, but it's getting close to the system launch on October 1 and I have a lot of data validation to get done in advance of that. It's doable, but I'll need to be able to dedicate some time to it this weekend just to be safe.
Goals were pleasantly good this week, up 10% from the week before. I've been starting to get back on track with those daily routine items that had been falling by the wayside, and I'm really happy about that. I finally have my appointment for my knee tomorrow. Haven't had any more flare-ups (thankfully), but it is still achy most of the time, and I hope the tests reveal some answers so I can start on recovery.
Found out earlier this week that my FIL has started on radiation treatments. I'm glad the doctors think it's treatable, but I'm concerned about how he'll hold up to it (he's gotten quite frail over the past couple years). I'm also concerned about my MIL, since she has the burden of getting him to his appointments, and keeping all the day-to-day stuff in order. The other day I went by with several of the prepared meals that I make myself and keep in the freezer, so she has some things she can just pop in the oven. I'm making a few more things this weekend, and I'll bring her some of those as well.
Looking ahead, the weekend should be fairly quiet. But I just finished making some travel plans for the middle of next week that I'm excited for - a well-deserved getaway for us both. I'll probably be a day late posting again next week, but I should have a couple pictures to share to make up for it.
That's it for now. Good night all! =]
