What did you do this week (and weekend)?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Power has been out since Wednesday. So been cold, and out of the house.
I filed my taxes! Due to work I had to file in Illinois, as well as my home state of California, and IL owes me $2, lol.
I got my California return and went to buy a short list of things I wanted, but only bought two of them: Adjustable competition-style kettlebell set, and a Flair Signature espresso press. I was going to get some boots to up my work wardrobe a bit (Softstar has a chukka I like), but $220 for a boot because it somehow costs that much more to go up just one size punched me in the wallet, so I'm going to sit on the money and probably get the shoes I already have in a light brown when Birchbury comes out with that.
Aside from that, I changed teams at work three weeks ago and am settling in a bit, getting a feel for things, and feel I'm actually progressing fairly well, so I feel a lot better about my work situation, but there's still a lot to learn, and new technologies to study, so I'll be enjoying this for a while.
I've been enjoying the rain and cold in southern California. I woke up the other night to a hushed wooosh of so much rain hitting everything was sort of just quiet. It was a cool few seconds of consciousness during a random early-morning wake-up, and I got to enjoy it a couple times, at the cost of some sleep.
