A very busy week. I had a significant work event on Wednesday, and needed to help my daughter with some of her homework in the evenings during the week. Completely wrecked my sleep schedule. Need to be better about going to bed at a reasonable hour. I feel it when I don’t get enough sleep.

The week ahead looks a little more typical… which is still relatively busy with classes, lacrosse and homework.

Feels

  • I remain concerned about the upcoming election. Especially when one side is starting to resort to false and racist rhetoric to inspire their voters.
  • The weather continues to get better. We were supposed to have a bunch of rain this weekend, but we only had occasional sprinkles.
  • Made time for a much needed date night with Liz. Our schedules are busy with both of us in grad...

Blind copying people on emails is silly. There is really no good reason to do it.

A draining week and weekend. Not bad, but exhausting. I almost forgot to post my weekly update. We celebrated Jill’s 17th birthday this weekend. (Her actual birthday is next week.) It was wonderful, but involved getting the house ready for guests. Balancing that with classwork, work, lacrosse starting back up for Ryan. It’s Sunday afternoon and I feel like I am running out of time.

Feels

  • The weather is improving. We actually haven’t spent much time on our back deck this summer because it was just too hot, but we did some work back there and I look forward to spending more time in the backyard as the weather cools.
  • Busy week at the office upcoming with some complicated tight deadlines. Will feel better after Wednesday morning.
  • Big win for my Gamecocks, defeating Kentucky soundly. Next week is LSU at...

ESPN is bringing Gameday to Columbia next weekend for South Carolina and LSU. Campus is going to be busy this week.

Great win for my Gamecocks today against Kentucky. The defense looks stout, even if the offense is a work in progress.

So I shipped a typeface a few months ago. And then today, I came across a new release with exactly the same name. I did all the searches I could do and thought it was in the clear. I’m sure they did the same… but it’s still a little disappointing.

Cooking some turkey breasts on my Weber Kettle tonight. I know it’s old school cooking with charcoal, but I really enjoy the process.

I had an up and down week. Some good days, but I also had one of those days that was terrible from start to finish. Really thankful for the long Labor Day weekend. I’m going to start updating the Now page on Sunday.

Feels

  • We had cooler weather last week, but then it’s hot again. Really, really reading for the cooler weather to return.
  • Busy. We are starting to balance all of the family commitments with Liz and I both taking classes, Jill and Ryan handling homework, new pick up routines… It’s tough to get back into a rhythm.
  • Thankful for the long weekend. I need the time to recharge.

Health

  • This week was challenging, but I did a decent job sticking to healthier food choices.

Projects

  • My contract type design consulting job is going well, but taking more time than I...

Today was terrible. Start to finish. Just rough. Tomorrow is a new day, but today’s going to stick with me.

Trying to troubleshoot cross posting to Threads from Micro.Blog. Was working fine… and then it wasn’t.
