So I haven't updated here in awhile. Looks like almost a month. I have been trying to log in from time to time to see what has been up with others, but haven't time or strength to do so. Strength?? Good question.
So the primary reason I haven't been doing much here, or anywhere for that matter, is that I've had bronchitis. At first look, the doctor thought it was viral, so gave me some meds for the symptoms. With a virus, you just have to wait it out. But, it must have been bacterial. So after a few more days of feeling like crap and not having any energy, I finally got on antibiotics and an inhaler. That turned things around pretty quickly.
So I am finally back to work, though I missed a week. And there is a new project getting started that my department is hip deep into. It should be a good thing overall, but will be a fair bit of work to start. It's a business intelligence project. My department and one other get to go first. It is expected to be about a three month escapade for us, on top of being guinea pigs.
And, I finally got back to the gym today - Yea! I do enjoy going to the gym, but I'm not a huge muscle head. I can tell that after two weeks of sitting on my has taken it's toll. The sets were rough, but not crazy difficult. But I can definitely tell I'll need a week or two to get back on track. That sucks. That puts me about three or four weeks behind on my goal. I had a personal goal of losing 15 pounds and 5% body fat by April 15. We'll see if I can still get there. I hopped on the scale at the gym. Oddly, I lost 3/4 of a pound, but my % body fat went up by 0.5%. A wash? again, we'll see.
After I finally started feeling better, I got back to work on my sister's birthday present. I gave her a blanket a few year's ago for Christmas, and now it seems that everyone in her family fights over who gets it. So she asked me for another. Her birthday was Saturday, and I finished it up Sunday. We still haven't seen her to give it to her yet, but I'm sure she'll like it. It was a fairly simple pattern. Here's a picture:
Last, I have a few trips coming up soon. Mostly for work, but one is vacation. Vaca will be down to Disney World with some family members. The niece is 6 now, so they figure she'll be old enough to remember. Should be a good time. I also have a trip to Sacramento for work. That's next week. Should be a good time, nothing too pressing on my end. Mostly just a make sure things go smoothly task. Then I also get to go to Prague at the end of April for work. That should be a good time. I've been to Prague before, and it was pretty nice. I still think it's funny that "New Town" was established in 900 AD. Yeah, that's "NEW" town lol. Probably swing by the Astronomical clock again too. I think they have a few tours planned, but haven't gotten full details yet.
Well, that's a quick(?) summary. Hope all is well. Take care all.
