Okay, okay, so it's just a four-day weekend. That's still plenty to be gleeful about.
The HOA has not called or emailed back, not even to say they got the email and are discussing it. This is okay. It is now too late to schedule for tomorrow; Friday wasn't an option, since we'll be at the coast. This weekend or later, then. With luck.
I got a little stationary mini-bike thing, the kind you can fit under your desk. Why? Because I know I should exercise more, and it's not the exercise that stops me, it's the fact that you can't do anything while doing most exercise. Walking works, until you know the area too well as I now do this one - it's boring. And even then, a lot of weather is bad for it. The fitness room kinda works - I can kinda read while I exercise - but kinda not. This will work nicely, though. Pleased. Very pleased.
Work today was proof that people who judge individual days by productivity have it wrong. Yesterday was one thing after another that did NOT get done. Over and over and over. I didn't have the responses I needed to work on some things. I got others done but couldn't put the code in, because the tester went home sick (and he needed to - he was feeling really lousy). I had to work on something at a client site, but had to coordinate with the client, and they simply were not available. Each time, I took the task as far as I could, packaged it up, and set it aside. And that was most of my day yesterday.
And today I came in, picked up the packaged bits, and put them back in place. And one after another, completed them. Nothing I started yesterday is undone that I can think of; two major tasks that could not be started yesterday got done along with all of yesterday's tasks.
Tracking individual days does not always work. But if it did - today I rocked the world. Only because yesterday, I took all the setbacks and made them set-ups, of course.
I am pleased with myself.
