Not that we are expected to get anything like what the states are about to undertake, but it’s blowing around like crazy right now. Dog walk at the farm is cancelled while the snow squalls warning is still in place. I don’t fancy getting stuck at the farm, or somewhere on the road between there, and here. Not a good look to know a storm is coming, and still manage to get caught out in it.
In other news I finished one entire section of my first large report for the year, and even got a few pages into the report proper. I’d love to say it’ll be a simple thing to finish in a day, but it could take the better part of the week. These large reports are dense, and can get complicated if you lose track of where you are on the spreadsheet. Go up or down one space and you can ruin hours worth of work by being inattentive. Detailed work requires focus. So in this instance slow & steady is fast. If you never have to back track to fix a slipped digit, or space you are ahead of the game by a mile. It’s not glamorous, but it’ll save my brain. So that’s my approach! Like it or lump it.
I ended up spending about six hours on the first, and much, much, much smaller section that requires colour coding, and italicized data portions for each, and every comment. Glad it’s done. Looks good all lined up, and set out on paper. I feel good that I utilized my weekend to complete that section. With any luck I will get another few pages done of the data driven side today, all in preparation for hitting the ground running on Monday morning.
The girls are due back from Camp later on today, so my wife will be in desperate need of some alone time to unwind, and/or tackle some work of her own. I won’t be able to remove the kids from the house, but I can try to occupy them with shoveling duty, cleaning, chores, or quietly reading alone in their rooms, or a movie fort with popcorn, snacks, and an unbothered mum!
Which reminds me, I have laundry of my own to do. I should try to get a few things going while my day is still wide open. In other news, I had eighty off people swing by the blog yesterday, which is kind of high numbers, but because the new benchmark is somewhere between two hundred, and fifteen hundred views in a single day, I no longer receive those “Hey go get ’em!” Prompts from WordPress for anything less. I remember when forty three views on a single day was my all time high, and that score stayed there for years! I still take note even if the site itself doesn’t. I appreciate you all coming to my blog, and looking around for a little while. Cheers!
