My life is the art of busy-ness. Being sick sucks. It started with exhaustion on Friday. My night consisted of less than 4 hours of sleep because of a gassy baby and continued into a head cold and nasal congestion that took me out on Sunday and Monday. I'm still getting over it.
This past week probably wouldn't have been so stressful if I wasn't sick. That didn't stop the spiders from coming out. I've killed five this week. And one beetle. I hate spiders. I was traumatized by them when I had a hobo crawling around in my hair when I was a child. It's enough to freak a person out. The response now when a spider appears is grab tissue, beat repeatedly until it's dead, squash it another few times, and then toss it in the trash, think twice and then flush it down the toilet, just so that it can't crawl back out if it miraculously recovered. My sister-in-law likes spiders and protests when I kill them. They aren't paying rent so they better stay out of my house, dag nabbit! Enter at your own risk.
Not only are the spiders stressing me out, but then there's work. SharePoint on panic mode. Everything has been crammed into the final two weeks. It's not that I can't handle it, but it's a lot to handle. I wouldn't call myself the best SharePoint developer. In fact, by industry standards, I wouldn't call myself a SharePoint developer at all. I can read C# code. I've never written in the language. Like many others, I think first in the methods that I know and progress to learning something new. I can build something in my mind and make it functional, but there was probably a better way to do it for SharePoint. I never took the time to learn how to properly create web parts because self-learning is tough and the turn around time for such a venture would have been too long. It's my hope that they find a developer that is better qualified than I was to build their tools for them the right way.
Being sick throws a wrench in my productivity. I haven't written at all this week and I've only worked out once. I did, however, watch the full series of The Guild. That was entertaining, having a background in World of Warcraft. Though the show focuses on extreme case scenarios, I couldn't help but fear Clara, the mother of 3 who ignores her children because the game ranks of higher importance. It's a comedic representation, but terribly true that a child really inconveniences one's game life and priorities really come to light. I don't play WoW anymore.
On top of all my daily activities, I've got planning for a bachelorette party always on the mind. My best friend is getting married on Monday and I'm the matron of honor. Busy weekend. Party on Saturday, rehearsal on Sunday, wedding on Monday, new job Tuesday. I've got the limo, dinner, hunt, and games planned for a confirmed party of 3 so far. *sigh*
All in all, I'll be happy when things calm down and I can focus on one thing, learning to be fantastic in Java Programming. That and health. And fitness. And writing. And all my other goals. Time to play with Kimi now.
