… I don’t do enough of it. Projects languish. To-do list languishes. Stress builds up. Kids have something to do with it, namely not having large blocks of time to do things, but I think another part of it is not being ready to jump on time when it becomes available. I need to make a to-do list that’s handy and remember to visit it.
Work is still somewhat busy. Wrapped up some things recently and hope to wrap up a few more this week. Had some unscheduled outages yesterday morning. The outages themselves didn’t bother me too much but it was rather rough after being shorted on sleep due to a certain little boy.
Finding time to work on church tasks has been a big challenge. I want to get started on ordering equipment so we can finally get our show on the wire so to speak. Thankfully something positive has come out of the delay … the price of the camera we’re getting has dropped about $200. Yay! I need to chat with our audio guy and figure out who’s ordering what from where. I can hunt down deals online but there was talk of going back to the vendor he got the equipment ideas from. We won’t be able to order everything he wants because budget doesn’t allow it.
We finally broke down and replaced the snowblower this past week. The old one that I had gotten for free quit in the middle of a blowing session a few snowfalls ago and I haven’t been able to restart it. It wasn’t really up to the task some days anyway. The new one has no such problems and doesn’t require a work-out to get it started. Plug it in … push start … I can handle that and so can Liz. I gave it a bit of a workout on some drifts last week and am hoping we get at least one more major storm so I can see how it works for the upper part of the driveway.
In other news, I bought a processor on eBay for a computer that was junked from work. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work. I’m not certain which part is the problem, but the fact that the eBay seller didn’t ship the processor in an anti-static bag makes me suspect that it is the culprit. Not happy about it but I don’t have any way to verify which piece of the puzzle is broken and I can’t afford parts to test on. At this point I’m sucking it up as wasted $$. 
Anyway … hopefully this week I’ll get some “me” time scheduled and figure out how to fit in time to work on church projects (video, website).
