The Weekly Wrap-Up: August 21-25, 2023

I need to stop getting into Internet arguments. 

Thankfully, there are plenty of other things to do. Tamil, for one. Yes, it's still ongoing. I'm making progress, but I get sidetracked by other things. This week it was a power outage, a bout with vertigo, and some proofreading of the next issue of Outreach. It's going to be a good one!

Honestly, the heat this week has kinda sapped most of my energy, and there isn't much more to talk about. I do like the heat more than I like the cold, but either extreme makes life difficult. I hope you are keeping cool and taking the opportunities for some relief. 

Bye!

The Weekly Wrap-Up: August 14-18, 2023

Friends!

I trust you are well. It has been a decent week for me, though I am struggling with some side effects from a new medication. It has forced me to adjust my daily schedule a bit as I am most effected in the mornings. But I tend to be a night owl anyway, so I make it work. 

I'm still working on Tamil, though that project is close to being finished. I've been adding more and more things to my queue, so I'm feeling the pressure to complete them quickly. Tamil is an interesting language because the spacing can be problematic. We decided to left justify everything, and my brain doesn't like having incomplete lines everywhere. But it works for the client, so I will live with it. 

I'm also working on scheduling social media posts, which takes a surprising amount of time. You have to make it interesting and visually appealing, which is not always easy. I don't spend a lot of time on social media myself, so I'm not really up on the latest trends. I don't really want to be, either. 

We had a team meeting this week, which I always enjoy. You can pray for Eliana, who will be traveling with her husband to visit family in the UK. Pray for Veronica to find a suitable new home in Scotland. Pray for BJ as he navigates healthcare for his mom. Pray for Brian as he works on prioritizing projects. Pray for Lynae to have good news about her knee. Pray for Naomi to have good news from her own doctor's visit. Pray for Donna (my mom) as she navigates a situation at her church. 

I hope you have a great weekend. Treat yourself. 

Bye!

The Weekly Wrap-Up: August 7-11, 2023

Did anyone else get a ton of rain this week? I thought I might have to swim home a couple of days. 

It has been a pretty good week. I was pretty tired after last weekend. My mom, my sister, and I headed over to the 127 Yard Sale on Friday and Saturday. It was a fascinating experience, but it was also very tiring. I'm looking forward to sleeping a bit more this weekend. 

I'm continuing on with Tamil. I'm looking forward to being done with it and starting the next big project in my queue. 

I also worked on Family Fun Night stuff this week. I have a great team helping me, and we were able to set the dates and themes for the '23-'24 season. Hooray! I'm hoping it will be a much less stressful experience this year. 

Also, Facebook is annoying. I've been scheduling posts for the T&M page, but then I realized I only have partial access. There's another person who actually started the page who also has partial access. But neither of us actually owns the page, and the FB support system is sorely lacking. I finally found a place to actually send a description of my issue, but I feel like I won't get anywhere until I can actually speak to someone. And we all know the likelihood of that happening. But I have to try because this is causing me consternation. 

Other than that, things are good, and life progresses on much as it has this century. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Bye!
