So I have lost a pound each week in the first two weeks but didn't lose a pound this week, however it wasn't a weight gain which is all good and my BMI actually went down, so in my eyes that is still a victory!
That kit I was working on is pretty much completed and has been for a while, and on top of my wunderlist right now is to get the TOU written, split the kit between Hanson crowd & everyday crowd, zip, upload & link up :) I thank you all for your patience & understanding as things have been busy & hectic as usual! On top of my main worries I have my mobile contract expiring soon & I need to cancel within the next 2 days, trying to adjust to new glasses but having issues with them and I had my eye test in tesco & glasses made in Boots so a headache of going between the 2 to sort out what the problem actually is, the weather is picking up now so chores are extending out into the garden where we have a flower border that is positively awful, constantly growing weeds and we have some things we'd like to plant. I've weeded a bunch already but still have a lot left to do. Oy.
I also need to sit down and sort out my domain, the current sites on it & how best to present & manage them as I still haven't even got to finishing off my Hanson crafts site since Hanson.net cut their hosting and I've had to just sort of upload what I had over to my domain & figure "I'll sort it out later as I have more important things to do right now".
I did thoroughly enjoy my week of free Lynda .com training though. I did a refresher on web design fundamentals, did a website from photoshop to dreamweaver course & something that really took my fancy: hands on magazine workshop, doing a magazine spread in InDesign. I was positively giddy with learning & taking some time to sit & watch the videos. I vow to save up some money and take a month to learn some cool new things. Not at all career related but for me. I won't need to learn how to do a logo (I have played around and made my own in the past!) but I think it's a cool skill to have, and making book covers in InDesign ready for the next installment of our trip report but of course ;) and I want to brush up on my HTML skills. I remember back in the good old days when I spent entire Sundays coding my website locked away in my bedroom and running it through the validator to check that it was good coding! Ah, the days back when we had Greymatter blogs and numerous "skins" that we coded in php so that the visitors could choose their favourite. I do miss those days, especially as I lost touch with it all and that's a bad thing in an ever changing environment.
Well, many other things calling my name that needs to be done. People waiting on me to do my turn on Draw Something as well. All being well I hope to be back on Sunday with a little something for you all for being such superstars!
