Thanksgiving weekend
Nov. 23rd, 2018 11:05 pmFor Thanksgiving we did the usual dinner with my mom and my sister's family, but we took Richie along (the guy who was staying with us a couple of months ago). He doesn't have any family in town. I ate too much, of course. It's tough. Every time I take smaller ans smaller portions, but there are so many dishes. They're all good, too. I skipped lunch, though, so I should be OK, having eaten twice as much as I should have. After dinner we played Pounce. That's a card game of speed, that we used to play a lot when I was younger. My sister, of course, won the most.
Today I was going to go into work for a couple of hours, then Cindy and I would go for a walk. The couple of hours turned into 3-1/2, so we did a less ambitious walk, ending as it was starting to get dark. Then supper.
Tomorrow we might try another walk, but Cyn's knee started bothering her on tonight's walk. And I need to go back in to work.
We have a huge project that needs to get done by the end of next week, and I'm worried it won't. It's basically my project, so I'm the one who needs to put in all the extra time to make sure it gets done right. We're getting a new system, and migrating our data from the old system. We have something like 60,000 lines in Excel that need updating. The project is for the department, but I'm in charge and I want it to end up as close to perfect as possible. Right now I'm trying to figure out what corners we can cut if we don't get it all done. I'd rather do the overtime than cut corners. Not only that, I'm twice as fast as anyone else. Anyway, I had originally planned to do an hour or so today, and five or six tomorrow. But after today's 3.5, I think I'll try to keep it to four.
