Catching up

Wow, missed a day! To be fair, it was fairly packed.

So, Tuesday. As was foretold, most of the day was taken up with family time. I made the trip out to see MU, and we had a nice breakfast/lunch kinda thing at a nearby diner (nearby to her). She had a meeting to go to after that, so I headed over to see C at the shop, and then I hung out there for a while. I had originally thought that moving the MU meeting up would mean I got home earlier, but that didn't happen; I just ended up hanging out with C longer. Which was fine...I still got everything else done that I needed to while I was out there (read: beer run), and I made it back in time to pick up T, so all's well that ends well. We had the ceremonial pre-fast dinner, and then I caught the MM stream after all. I know last time I posted I was worried about having time to finish IGS. To be real, I should have been worried. ;) But during the day I thought of a way to shortcut the article, basically by doing a KS roundup instead of a review, so I figured I could knock it out after the stream. Well...I kinda did, but I also kinda wound up staying up late to do it, so that was a little gnarly. At least I got something in, but it was super just under the wire and also crappy, so I'm gonna try to not let that happen in the future. :)

So today, Wednesday. I didn't particularly have to get up early (which was also part of why I figured I could just do IGS after the MM stream), but T had to get up basically regular time to go to services, so I got up pretty much at regular time anyway. A couple things came together today, namely that (a) I was on the sleepy side and (b) a bunch of to-do shit had been piling up, so basically I pushed the scheduled pod editing today to tomorrow, and I spent today doing errands and adminny stuff. I got a lot done, though, I feel! I went to the bank, which I was proud of for there being no car and also it raining, but I did it anyway cuz I had to, and that was satisfying. Did the chores and shit that I missed yesterday, and then knocked a whole crapton of MM work off the to-do list with the rest of the day. Even got in a little video editing. Which, by the way, takes SO FUCKING LONG. I mean, not necessarily the editing itself, though that's no picnic, but the export...god, I'm dying here. I guess this is the "compiling" of the video editing world.

So that's partially why I'm writing a blog post; because I'm sitting here waiting for a video to export. :) But also I'm putting a button on the day. Feeling pretty good about it, too; I feel like I was pretty productive today. Don't know if that's objectively true, but there's no doubt I knocked a lot of pending stuff off the to-do list, so that's never bad. I may be mildly punchy from the sleep thing, but not too bad. Currently waiting for T to get back, but I can't imagine she'll be in a mood to stay up late, either, so maybe I'll hit the sack at a reasonable time tonight. Either way, it's back to business as usual tomorrow. Gonna be a heavy pod day, anyway, I know that for sure. Also I need to buy cat food! Such is life.
