…is so cool! It makes blogging super easy. It’s basically one click blogging. I open Windows Live Writer (WLW) and I see a page that looks just like my blog text area. Then I type up what I want and click publish, and voila. No logging in, no checking HTML, no nothing. I highly recommend it :) Perhaps I’ll be blogging more often :) I think I could even blog offline if I wanted to.

 

Tonight I went to a concert. It was the band that I’ve joined! Unfortunately their bass player got sick right before the concert and went home. I almost offered to play, but I thought maybe it would be too last minute or something. And I also thought they all knew I played bass, so I figured they would say something if they wanted me to. But they didn’t know, and it would have been so perfect if I had just said something!! (To be fair, though, it was in the middle of the concert that I discovered that she wasn’t there because she was sick, so I would have had to interrupt the concert.) But anyway.

I’m really looking forward to playing with them. Our first concert together is Thanksgiving weekend at the Holiday Market at the fairgrounds in town. I have their list of songs now, so I will be practicing!

It is the weekend!! I am so happy to be sitting at home for once. When I was sitting at home all the time it wasn’t quite as enjoyable. But now I’m really digging it :)

I cleaned five houses in 25 hours in four days this week. Seems like way too much time on each house – *but* that includes a few houses where I do the dishes, do the laundry, straighten  the childrens’ rooms, shampoo/trim the dog, etc. I guess this was my first full week of work, then, since I also did fifteen hours of work at Harbor Freight Tools. What I need to do is continue keeping records of how long it takes me to clean each house and always try to beat my numbers, and then either up rates or charge by the job. I like the idea of being more efficient.

One thing that has been bugging me is getting gigantically distracted and not able to focus anymore. When I first start to work I generally think about something that is making me excited or happy – if I can. But then after the half way point, I sometimes think too much and then I can’t concentrate or focus as well. Maybe it’s just a natural slump of energy in the afternoon, but it’s so annoying. It slows me down!

I need to get more sleep. A few months ago, I was thinking “Oh well, it doesn’t matter if I don’t sleep enough tonight, I can make it up other nights.” But the thing is, I *don’t.* I’m always thinking that I will certainly be good and go to sleep at a decent hour other nights.
