Life news this week:
- Saturday I did some cleanup in the house because my dishes weren't done and the recycling never went out last week since there was no pickup due to holiday. I updated my collection websites while putting some packages away and then I worked on my blogging. I finished the blogging right when Meggie got to my house, so that was nice timing. She and I hung out, went to GrillSmith and got yummy food, and did an exchange of stuff for eBay sales. She also gave me a bunch of new candles she won't have room for when she moves. Cool! After she left I worked on my lines for Dracula, did my DDR, and relaxed.
- Sunday I spent the morning listening to Steve on Polo, then jumped into a new project: making a website for my voice-over work. This was already kind of intimidating to collect the projects and voice samples I wanted to show, but on top of that WordPress was being a jerk and forcing hand-holding templates and AI crap on me--it was obnoxious trying to wrangle it into a basic functional site that would just let me make some freaking pages. Tiptoeing around pre-formatted pages and "blocks" and themes took up way more time than actually creating the content and I'm gonna stay mad about it. I finished out the day taking out trash, doing laundry, working on my book, and sending a Polo to Steve.
- Monday I went to work and edited a letter and entered some data. Then I worked on my voice acting website more, adding samples and figuring out how to get some singing samples in from recordings on SingSnap. Also did some recordings for songs I had no satisfactory recording for. Seems pretty good now! Did some DDR and chatted to some sillies. And did some more editing on the book . . . which finally brought the word count under 150,000 words. And still going! I'm so happy.
- Tuesday was a fake Monday because a bunch of stuff was due. I sent in the letter I edited the previous day, edited another letter, and did some organizational tasks. Fed my plants some new smelly food. Worked more on the voice-over website. Got some more work done on my book, too.
- Wednesday I did some timesheet data entry and some inventory updates. And also had a meeting. After work I went to Saki with Jeaux and we did our usual grocery shopping and walking. After he left I submitted a query and worked on the website some more. And I found out I got cast in another production--just for a one-off role that I'll have to complete quickly, but it seems like a fun one!
- Thursday I had to spend most of the day entering credit card charges for my boss unexpectedly. I did get some data entry done for the inventory as well. Then I worked on my website even more. I feel like it takes me longer to get stuff done these days, but maybe I'm imagining it. Talked to Meg on Polo, went to game night and talked about politics with my friends, and drew a couple of comic frames. Then I made an angel food cake from a box like my mom used to do. Washed the dishes and read a book while getting the rest of my steps in. Worked on the website more--almost done.
- Friday I had angel food cake for breakfast in honor of Mom--it would've been her 71st birthday. Awww. I went to work and did reports and data entry. After work I had some trouble with procrastinating and had to really buckle down in the latter hours of the day to get my comic done. I still posted it on time and still left enough time to get my walking in (while listening to Steve on Polo). Then I researched markets and sent a short story in, and got tired while reading over that short story.
Health Plan Update:
- Weight stuff: I have no data this week. :)
- Nutrition stuff: Welp, four days out of the seven I was under on my protein goal (the carbs are winning). I had an extra restaurant meal and a day of cake figuring in there. But I'm also just really not looking at the balance right now, even though I am pretty consistently getting the three fruits/veggies servings in anyway. I am still regularly taking vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to play my dance game every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. My low day was Friday at 10,192 steps, and my high day was Tuesday at 13,406 steps.
