What a Week! Thank Goodness I'm on "VK"!

It was an incredibly busy week, considering all the time I had on my hands, but I got a lot done, and accomplished most of my goals.

I had several rehearsals for choir and singing, and performed on Friday night at the Aurora Seniors' Centre with my choir buddy, Bill.  It was a great night, everyone was very friendly and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.  I certainly did!  I also rehearsed with Heather for our duet for the Winter Concert - that one is going to turn out really well, based on our early efforts!  We had a really nice evening too, lots of talking and sharing.

Progress is being made on the choir's singalong booklets, I'm hoping to have that done very soon.  I also started working on the choir's scarves, had to run some tests to see what the best settings would be on my machine to  hem them, they're going to look great.  They have to be done before Nov 12, which is our next performance, so I've got to get smokin' on them!

A friend saw my blog last week and offered to give me a bit of help with the website and logo - her initial efforts were impressive, it's amazing what a fresh eye can do to improve something you're too close too! I was really touched by her offer to help, as well.

The draft proofing on the house is mostly done, and the garage is all cleaned out and fits my car!  RT thought it would be a good idea - it never occurred to me (duh!) And both cars have been cleaned out, and the windows cleaned, etc.  I've got to get my snow tires put on this week, and get an oil change, too!

I've started a new needle-painting project - quite an ambitious one, if I do say so - I'll post pics once it's complete.

My office space has been reorganized, cleaned and re imagined.  All the files have been organized, purged and the old contents shredded and recycled.

I've set up accounts on Workopolis and Monster, and queries on some local job searches, and sent out a few resumes to specific positions.  I have an agreement with LWM for an initial analysis of their customer base, I'll send out the contract and confid agreements to them this week. I had coffee with another colleague and got some great advice and encouragement from her.

RT is finished afternoons for a couple of weeks, that's a relief, but we still managed to find time to spend together, and relax. He's been a wonderful support during this transition and he's so much fun.
