Rainy Week-end | November 1, 2009

It’s been great to have some time this week-end to take a breath.  The apartment is now in good shape after an expensive trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond, The Container Store, and the grocery store.  My 250-pound air shipment arrived on Wednesday so I have all my clothes and even pictures of the family and art up on the walls to make it feel a little more like home-away-from-home.  After a packed schedule of classes and first-post research during week one of A-100, it was great to have drinks with some of the class at a Friday night happy hour.  I’m looking forward to getting to know people through more of those informal get-togethers.

The weather has not been great this week-end, so I’ve been holed up, knocking down some of the key items on my task list:

– Reading for next week’s class

– Researching various posts on our bid list

– Preparing my first reimbursement voucher

– Set up the home office with a new printer/scanner

– Laundry / Clean the apartment

–Misc. Paperwork

I also actually got my lazy butt to the gym which is all the way downstairs.  No excuses left to avoid a regular gym routine.
