September Week 1 Progress Report

Fitness: I've run six miles of my 37 for September. Here's the boring deets, if you're into that kind of thing. It will be a busy week at work so I'll have to make sure I get my runs done in the AM. I won't feel like doing it at home. Also, I'm adding another run in during the week. I'm basically pre-training to get myself in shape to jump into a training plan. (Hal Higdon is usually my go-to for race training.) I didn't get all my strength training last week so I need to make sure I do that this week.

Career: I worked so hard on a draft of the workplan this week. At one point I had to escape for a latte and a cookie (I almost never do that.) and at another point I texted "Ack, ack, ack" to Tim. It drove me crazy but I'm really happy with where it is at. I emailed it off to my Advisory Committee yesterday. We'll have a conference call next week to set priorities and then I'll have less than a day to finalize some of the budget numbers and take it to the Board for their approval. Then I'll FINALLY have a workplan done before the end of the federal fiscal year!! Also just one more week until conference!

Finance: I got a part-time job. Technically, I'm an intern and Liz is my boss. I'm pretty stoked about being able to help her with some museum education projects and to have a real good reason to try to understand Common Core. I'm also stoked that it is a paid gig! Thanks, Liz! The number two thing that is happening is that we're contemplating having some comics graded. Tim got the comics free and went through them to see if they were worth anything. Some of them are, if they're graded, but it's tricky to try to figure out if the cost of grading will be worth it. It might be a big upfront investment for an uncertain return. If people aren't buying comics, we could be sitting on some pieces of paper that we paid to find out are "worth" a lot of money. 

Adultiness:

• I took some magazine clutter to the Lake with me and I actually read them! I put those magazines down in our garage sale stash and pulled out two more to take to Mom & Dad's with me this weekend.
• I knitted some on my scarf this week but not enough to hit the goal. I'm taking it to Mom & Dad's this weekend as well so I can get some more of it done. 
• And that's about it. I actually kind of forgot that I had more adultiness goals for the month. I'm going to put them in my phone to remind myself to do them.
