November 26, 2012

Today was a really good day, and I feel like I accomplished a whole lot. Of course, considering I got up at 6AM and am going to bed at 11PM and pretty much had no "down time" all day, that's to be expected. I started off by reading the introduction to the Book of Mormon, along with the first 15 pages in 1 Nephi—about 20-25 pages total, taking an hour or so, but I wanted to read the Introduction before starting into the main book. After breakfast, I walked/jogged Becky over to our friend's house, Meagan, which is about 2.3 miles each way, and then I walked home pushing the stroller with the two boys. I also listened to the two doTERRA calls at some point and did my usual oil pulling routing while reading the BofM.

After all of the above, I got started on work, and before sending back a laptop I wanted to do one final round of testing with the latest driver updates. Some of the tests I can start and walk away for a bit, so I did some packing/cleaning of the office while they were running, as well as finding The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People out in our storage shed in a bin. While I continued running tests, I read that for a while—I love multitasking! Besides breaks for dinner and putting the kids to bed at night, work and writing blogs was the order of the day. Only drawback? I'm tired and my back is a bit sore from hauling all the heavy storage bins in from the shed.
