Catching back up
Sep. 7th, 2016 09:52 pmIn theory I work 20 hours a week. In practice that number tends to vary with the season. I started the summer totally caught up on hours, but went home early often enough over summer, when there was little that needed doing at work, and much to do at home, that I got rather behind again. However, I knew that wouldn't be a problem this autumn, as there would be more that needs doing than 20 hours a week would cover.
Sure enough, I put in 8 hours today and seven yesterday, and well more than five hours most days recently. This pattern will continue till we finish and upload the grant application in progress.
I am pleased with how it is coming along, the feedback I got from Grants Office was really helpful. We may not get funded (this type of grant usually has a 11% success rate), but I am learning a lot in the process, and much of what we have written will be usable in other applications if this one fails.
When not working I have been busy with typical distractions. On the weekend we did some home improvement projects. Monday we had some friends over to play Nyckelharpa (and I played Dulcimer). Tuesday was choir. Tomorrow night is Frostheim, and Friday we head south for the Uma XXV Höstdansen Delux SCA event. (I may be bringing the computer to keep working if it isn't done yet.)
