I feel like I’m slipping into some old habits… namely, seeing a long list of projects to progress on as a reason to let all motivation slip away and just sit around doing nothing. Last week, I was sick, and honestly didn’t feel like doing anything, and I don’t really feel bad about that. There’s something nice about the forced relaxation of being sick. But now that I really have no excuse, I’m having a hard time diving into anything and getting it done, and I’m not really sure what the deal is. I’m not even sure if there’s a trigger for it, it just happens every now and then. Thinking back, I used to get this way every 5 or 6 weeks. I haven’t really dealt with it much lately though.

So to put some reality on it, I have one huge project that just needs some progress made this week. I have another smallish project that needs to be wrapped up today, and another large project that needs some major progress by first of next week. And on top of that, I don’t feel anywhere close to being ready to speak on Saturday. That’s why I’m at Forza blogging. Actually, I’m just hoping a change of scenery from the home office will shake things up a bit.

That’s all for now. With any luck by lunchtime I’ll at least be organized.

I’m sure you really wanted to know the state of my sinuses, but rest assured, to me that’s an important tidbit of information. Above is a photo of me leading worship at Jacob’s Well Church last weekend. It’s been a good few weeks there, except for the cold-induced failure of my voice last night. But that’s secondary.

Went to our last Rockies game of the year Friday night… 250 photos to sort through, so I won’t be getting those up for a bit. Priscilla will probably have a gallery up shortly though. There was an epic fireworks show after the game, which was worth the price of admission. I’m not much for fireworks shows, but this was honestly the best I’ve seen. All in all, a good trip to the city. It’s good for these urban monster souls to get into the city every now and then. Hopefully more now than then.

After a few days of being sick and really unmotivated to do much of anything, ready to settle into a nice busy week filled with more work than I probably have time to do. That’s ok though, it beats the alternative.

Consider this the least informative update in a while. But hey… this also beats the alternative, which is no blogging at all.

Today is a day of progress. I’m completing some updates on my blog redesign, it should be ready to go in a few days. Once complete, I’ll upgrade wordpress, reactivate some plugins, and should have a shiney new blog.

I made progress on the new design for the church website. Should be ready to go by month’s end.

Some long needed and now finally necessary repairs have been made to our car. Not only that, but I can write the check without worrying about it tanking our ability to provide the basics for our family. That’s progress in 2 areas.

Getting ready to dive into a new project – this will be easily the largest and most complex project I’ve done yet. Very excited about it. Therefore, my business efforts have made progress.

My office is clean. Well, to be fair, cleaner than it was this morning. I still need to reorganize, and probably reset the whole thing. It gets too messy too quickly, and I think it’s a result of poor workspace management. Besides, reorganizing my workspace is the kind of mindless work you can do to take up time when you’re self-employed.

And I blogged, rather than just Twittered/Pownced/etc. That’s progress as well. I’ll be back in a day or two when the blog theme is complete.
