I don't even know what day it is.

Yeah, it's been over a week since I posted. I do appreciate the nudges I've received from Rich, even though I haven't responded.

This is definitely not going to be a long post - just a couple updates.

I exercised more this week, and eating less. Was asked last weekend if I had lost weight. I doubt it, but I don't know for sure. Need to get to the gym and weigh myself (the work-outs I've done were at home, using my Biggest Loser DVD).

I actually did get some time to review my July 12 talk last weekend. This post ends here, because I'm going to do more review right now.

Day 19

I know, I know. I haven't forgotten, but I have had other things take up space in my brain...

Mostly, the problem is just me. But I'm doing other things, too, like take care of my sweet Annalise (11 months old and this close to walking more than a few steps by herself).

I'm gearing up for another long weekend - the final weekend! - of our Kingdom Hall remodel project. I don't foresee it happening, but I'd like to hopefully get to review some of my research material for my July 12 talk while I'm there. We'll see.

That talk is the big thing I've got to do, but the part that's weighing on my brain even more is my newsletter. I actually did the interview with Rich Hopkins that I wanted to do, but I just haven't started writing. Once I start writing, I'm sure I can plug in his quotes and whatnot. But I gotta start. And on that note, here's a factor for why I haven't started:

I've noticed being way sleepier in the evenings lately. Until recently, I could easily stay up till midnight or 1am (sometimes later) and work on various things (talks, newsletter, etc). But as of late I've been feeling exhausted and sleepy by 10 or 10:30. Which cuts out several hours of time that at least had the possibility of being productive. I don't know what exactly has triggered it, but of course there are several likely candidates: full time baby care, stress of not having a job, stress of working on remodel project for long days without seeing Steph or Annalise until late in the evening (if even then). At least one will get resolved soon.

So. My highest priorities over the next few days are to review research material for my talk, and do some writing for my newsletter. If you aren't subscribed, but would like to see what I come up with, click here.
