Goals 2009 - Week Three
I probably shouldn’t be staying up to blog about my progress considering I’ve got a nasty sore throat, but I’ll probably sleep better if I can check off this “to-do”.
The main focus of this week was my photo work for the UF TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer) group. The calendar is coming along well - I completed mockups for all of the months. Work on it has been delayed since they were holding their “NuNu 5K Run” Saturday morning. They let me come out and shoot some behind-the-scenes photos along with the finish line pictures. I had a blast - it’s the first time I’ve ever tried to do photo journalism of an event and the first time I’ve ever done finish line photography. I managed to get the behind-the-scenes pictures uploaded to Facebook that night and the finish line photos uploaded to Picasa tonight.
At pool, I also had another milestone - I got my first “8 on the break”. It’s another thing I always wanted to do, but never managed to do it. I didn’t set it as a goal because it’s much too random to say “I will do that this year.” Still very happy it happened.
I also managed to move Alicia to her new office with Keven’s help (thanks, Keven!) and noodle on my electric guitar for a while. Normally, I’d try to get back to singing my songs, but this sore throat is not to be trifled with.
For exercise, it was cold enough that I didn’t manage to walk at all. However, I did manage to lift weights every other day and do a bunch of heavy lifting setting up for the race. I’ve even increased the intensity of my ab workout since that has always been my problem area. Now that it’s warming up again, I can think about getting out for those walks again with Dorothea on the days I don’t lift.
At work, I’ve been spending some extra time trying to hammer out a new direction for the company and new ways to improve productivity. Hopefully once those things are figured out, we’ll be ready to hire again.
My bedtime is still a joke (here it is 1am and I’m sick). Therefore, my temper is still not all it could be, but I think I’m handling it better. I’m still probably a bit too snappy at Jacob when he’s doing things like knocking his entire cup of milk over when he’s playing with it, but I’ll keep working on it. I also need to spend more time with Alicia. We’ve both been pounding away at our computers trying to get things done. It just gets worse for a while here - the next four weekends, one or both of us is on the road.
