Personal Digest Saturday - March 21 – March 27

Life news this week:

  • Saturday I had a mostly chill day--worked on my blog, redecorated for the new season, did my DDR, and completed some digital errands. I got a chance to work on my book and review some voice-over lines I have due soon as well.

  • Sunday I did laundry and trash chores and spent a chunk of time working on the design for our new band's business cards and drum head. I also reread a bunch of old comics for some reason. Read some of the current book I'm reading. Worked on my book editing a bunch.

  • Monday I knocked out two marketing letters and entered some credit card data for my boss. After work I read old journal material for my photo project. Did DDR and worked on my book. Answered an e-mail about voice-over work. Put in another audition.

  • Tuesday I spent a bunch of time bothering utility owners and doing project research. I found out Meg's mother-in-law has passed away--expected, because she was on hospice, but very sad. I sent her and the kids some gift cards for treats. Got some new feedback on my book and wrote some notes on it, and got working on changes. Read some of a book, did dishes, walked while sending my sister a Polo, and recorded my part for the voice-over work.

  • Wednesday I had early meetings at work. I did my DDR exercise, completed timesheet stuff, and went to my hair appointment to get a trim and new fun colors. It was supposed to take 3 hours but it ended up being more like 4. Bahhh. When I got back I knocked out some prep for a proposal. Got in a nap. Took a walk and read an old journal. Worked on my book and sent a query.

  • Thursday I listened in on a presentation for a while but technical difficulties kicked me out halfway through. I also went to one marketing meeting. I walked to the post office and back while reading. Did some data entry. Cleaned up the house. Wrote my comic. Edited my book some more. Jeaux came and we went to Office Depot, a new restaurant (Piccolo Buco), and grocery shopping. Then we did game night and hung out afterwards talking about silly stuff. I did a short story submittal after he left.

  • Friday was a pretty busy work day. I did some project research, had to complete some documents for a proposal we're supporting on, and dealt with utilities with my boss before jumping into my usual weekly reports. Took a while. I then did aerobics and worked on my book and worked on my comic. Managed to get my walking in talking to Steve on Polo. Also did a karaoke song. And then worked on the book more.

Health Plan Update:

  • Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week, and met my protein goals all seven days (my restaurant day was still protein-y enough!). I am still taking my vitamins.

  • Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Monday at 10,110 steps, and my high day was Thursday at 12,083 steps.

    Getting my hair dyed again, this time hopefully with a better result.

    In the parking lot after, waiting for my Uber.

    Happy that it isn't subtle this time, even if I have my hair down.
