Nope, I&#8217;ve just been very busy with work and with home as well.  <\/p>\n<p>The biggest news is that I&#8217;m moving &#8211; or  rather, nearly done moving.  Got a new place with a garage, and a new room-mate.  So, I&#8217;ve been working on moving all my stuff to the new place day by day &#8211; though we&#8217;ve made a few trips in a borrowed van as well.  It&#8217;s been tiring and I feel like I&#8217;ve been moving forever, but I think I&#8217;m in the home stretch.  Just a few more items, then some clean-up and I&#8217;ll be done.   And then I have to start on sorting out the cardboard disaster in the basement &#8211; it&#8217;s been the dumping ground for all the boxes that we don&#8217;t know what to do with.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been keeping up with my swimming, bumping up to 7 laps a couple of times.  The other day, the hot water was out in the pool building &#8211; which made for a very cold shower.  My stamina is improving and I think I&#8217;m getting a stronger so once things are settled in my new place I think I may start using the bowflex again.<\/p>\n<p>Work has been busy, doing a lot more with graphics and some programming.  Trying to learn more about CSS &#8211; I think I may end up redoing my site again in that format.<\/p>\n<p>Along those lines, one of my colleagues looked though my site and said that he was surprised at how candid I was and that I must be pretty secure here.   Which struck me as a little odd since I thought I tended to be circumspect and not use names + keeping things a little vague.   I think my boss has seen this and since he hasn&#8217;t said anything about it, I guess I&#8217;m in the clear.<\/p>\n<p>Also in work news&#8230;I conducted a really good training session yesterday for a student group.  Seemed like they understood what I was talking about and they laughed at my jokes &#8211; so, it was cool, though my voice started to fade out.  I also trained some folks with the board of trustees and got some really nice compliments.<\/p>\n<p>Went and saw Kathy Griffin last night &#8211; freaking hillarious.  She was on fire from the moment she walked on the stage and didn&#8217;t let up.  Great stories, a lot of swearing, totally funny.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I&#8217;m heading down to visit my folks for my sister&#8217;s birthday.  Should be a fun trip and I&#8217;m really looking forward to cake and some time in the hot-tub.  Though not at the same time.  I&#8217;ve been tired and sore from the cold and the move &#8211; and I&#8217;ve already got my suit packed.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s about it for now &#8211; time to get back to work&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-1196721505264047650?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I blogged, though it&#8217;s not for lack of news.
