I have had a much busier summer than I had expected. We recently passed the half-way point of my break, and I can't help but think of all the things that I haven't managed to accomplish. This seems like a good place to take stock of what I've done and not done as I only have a little over a month before my life goes at break-neck speed again.
I finished (although I haven't polished) the Rosary section on this website. Considering that I had been planning on doing this for a number of years now, I'm really glad that I got it up and running.
We cleaned out the garage from the garage sale and can now park our cars in it again. Honestly, it had been long enough that I had trouble parking in the garage again.
I've been writing in this blog nearly every day. Only on days like yesterday, where we end up busy until later than I expect, have I had to postpone writing the blog. Still, I've managed to have a blog for every day since I've started.
I fixed and updated the character spreadsheets that I use for D&D (both 3.5 and my home-brewed 3.6), and made them available on Google Docs.
I've been playing tennis at least twice a week with my father.
I even fixed the slide and swing set at my parents' house, as well as set up the beginnings of a play area on the willow tree in their back yard.
And I've seen a lot more of my friends this summer than I have for the last several years. While the lack of down-time is frustrating my wife a bit, I've been having a blast.
That said, there's still a lot on my list: repair the drain field (in progress), get a cover picture for Dragon Hunter and get the book e-published, write a new story (Vali's Tale), take a load or two to the dump and metal recycler, clean up the basement, go on a trip (currently planned), get Pool of Radiance stuff on this web site, finish converting DQ7 into a D&D adventure, and other things that aren't coming to mind. I am avoiding working on school stuff even if the dreams have already started. There will be time enough for that later.
At least I've been getting some stuff done. This has already been a more productive summer than most of my previous one. Still, I have some catching up to do.
