Day Off

Friday I took the day off. It was glorious. I slept in, lounged around, and took a nap. It's so nice to just stay in bed with warm comfy blankets on a cool fall day. I got a couple calls from work, but I was able to remote-in an fix them pretty easily.

Today I slept in again! It was great. I felt like just lounging around all day, but I thought I'd be happier get a few things done. I was contemplating cleaning up the back porch or going to the temple. I thought the temple was a loftier goal, so I drove downtown and spent a couple hours there (Melinda had gone on Friday morning with her cousin Emily).

Then I got home and rounded-up all the kids and directed them in cleaning up the house. They washed dishes, did the laundry, mopped the floor, and Ian even mowed the lawn. I went out with Ian while he mowed the lawn and ended up getting the back porch all cleaned up like I originally wanted to. I guess if you get your priorities in the right place, you can make room for some of the other things as well.

Friday!

It's Friday and we've made it through another week. I had a big project at work that I had to do after hours. We had to move our Internet router, firewall, and core switch from the networking closet into the server room. I had estimated it would take 4-6 hours, but we actually did in under 2 hours. It's always nice to come in under your estimate, especially when you have to work after hours.

It went remarkably well. I think having it all mapped out and planned well helped a ton. I usually assume that some things will come up and take longer; but remarkable everything went just as planned. Of course, if anyone has any problem at all on Monday, they will of course blame it on this project (they always do).

Anyway, we've had a busy week and are looking forward to this weekend.
