My brain feels completely scattered lately. I wasn't even going to post this and then I remembered my first bullet point under "biznass" and I still wanted to brag about it, sooo...
The Wins!
Biznass
- Months after finishing the project and getting paid for it, a client was finally ready to put her website up online! Naturally the deployment wasn't as smooth as it should have been so I spent a few days troubleshooting and now it is up and beautiful!
- Followed up with some clients about invoicing. I absolutely hate doing this so the victory here is following through instead of just taking the loss since the invoices aren't all that expensive.
- Finished my FB ad campaign (got 16 new "likes" on my page, decided I'm not sure that quantifies as any great success, and probably won't pay more money for that unless those 16 people end up being very engaged and interested fans), and started a Google ad campaign (we'll see how it goes!).
Health
- After a slow start to the week, got some good workouts in! A good mix of biking, (light) strength training, and yoga.
- Did I already tell you guys how amazing my pregnancy workout leggings are? They're amazing. The most comfortable things I have ever put on my body. I wish I never had to leave the house.
- Have some (very modest) meal plans for this week. Back to healthier eating! (until Christmas, because Christmas!!!)
Happiness Project
- Still deciding what to do about this. I should be switching from "self actualization" to "fun" but I really didn't do self actualization at all and I feel too mentally cluttered to be all, "la la la, let's ignore life and plan fun activities instead." Maybe I'll do a "get all the shit done before the year ends" month so I can relax a little in January.
Personal
- Survived a birthing class! I know, this does not bode well for the actual birth, but oh my goodness. Do you know how big 10cm is? Have you seen a demo of an epidural or a c-section??? For the c-section, they cut open the first layer of skin, part the muscles with their hand, and then cut open the uterus. Watching (even in cartoony simulation form) made me wince. I know too much!
- Instigated the next brunch group meetup for later in December. I'm just barely getting to know these ladies, but we had a ball last time, talking creative topics (and movies and pets).
- Was frustrated with a couple conversations I'd had with people, realized I was doing my usual "bottle it up and avoid that person until I feel better" BS, and decided to just be straightfoward and tell them what was bugging me. One didn't respond and one responded much more positively than I anticipated and wasn't awkward about it later. So overall it's probably a healthier way to deal with conflict than to go hide or fume or pout.
Thoughts and Plans for Next Week (aka This Week)
- Erm... I'll let you know when it's over.
What victories did you have last week? What's in the works for the upcoming week?
