*Taking a breather and catching up on all the thises and thats that have piled up over the last couple of months.*
|
||
|
||
It was a boring week, and I mean that in the best way. Routine has been a rarity around here lately, so a week full of ordinary tasks felt almost luxurious. Juniper has a few weeks of school left and it's coming down to the wire, so we're helping her push through to the end. I also got current on some at-home medical treatments I'd been deferring, the kind that eat two or three hours of an evening a few times a week. Knocking those out, along with the housework and the rest of the to-do list, was plenty.

## Shipped
|
||
|
||
Most of the week went to odd jobs around the house. I switched the 3D printer over to laser burner mode and finally cut the faceplates for the trophies from the CONpossible costume contest back in February. I printed and assembled the blue-ribbon certificates for the winners too, and got everything into the mail. That one had been looming over me for months, so clearing it off the list felt good.
|
||
|
||
I also kept chipping away at LocallyGrown.net. The bug fixes are getting rarer these days, so lately the work is mostly quality-of-life features and better documentation.

## Read
|
||
|
||
Not much reading this week. But I've been enjoying the new seasons of Taskmaster (such a good show for the soul), For All Mankind, and Star Trek: Academy.

||
## What's Next
|
||
|
||
The Athens Stomp Fest is next weekend, an annual free day-long surf music festival. Tiki Taco Tuesday started back up this week and runs weekly through August; I missed this first one thanks to a last-minute work conflict, but we plan to make every one we can after that. And the next production rollout at work got pushed back a few weeks, so I'm thinking about heading back to Austin on my own to take advantage of some face-to-face time with people there while the window's open.
