Random Realizations (A week in review)

So lots happened this week:

• Participated in a hackathon (& lost)
• Met many great new people
• Saw Kevin Spacey deliver a great speech.
• Set a high bar for the remainder of the year
• Returned home to a few nice surprises from my husband
• Did many hours of client work while in Vegas and back at home
• Ordered equipment for one of my personal projects
• Said equipment arrived the next day (Thanks Amazon!)
• Continued to do some investigations for another project
• Took care of some issues with one of our cars
• Unpacked my luggage the day I came home
• Followed up with new contacts
• Bought Josh’s birthday gift (his birthday is in June, so I’m way ahead of the game here).

Although many of these things might seem pretty trivial, I don’t usually accomplish so much during the week. I continue to pile things on my plate, not because I like to keep busy, but because it’s an act of balancing everything and seeing where I can fit things in given 5 minutes here or there. There are some opportunities that I have taken a pass on or said no to, and that’s alright.

There are a few ‘family & friends’ tasks that I need to do some catching up on and the following weeks will be good times to catch up on those.

It’s a challenging balancing act, but one I am looking forward to conquering.
