I planned on working on Monique's database project all weekend. How did that go, you might ask?
Saturday, we had a long, leisurely breakfast and talked about a fairly complex, scope creeping aspect of the project for a rather long time. Then when we went upstairs to work, I had issues with virtual memory and performance that have been plaguing me for a while. I am in dire need of a new PC. This one is 5 years old now and maxed out on important things like memory. Let's just say the rest of my day went into making my machine work better in the hopes that Sunday it would work better for me.
Chris and Amy asked Monique to watch Elijah Saturday night so they could go out. We decided to just watch a movie after dinner before going back to work. Yeah, that didn't work so well either. We watched 3 movies. Guess how much work got done? However, it was relaxing and a nice change of pace.
Sunday, as we were contemplating getting out of bed to do work, we started talking about Monique's sister Lise, who has been in the hospital for a couple of days up in New London CT, about an hour and a half away. I asked her if we were going to go visit her. It led to a talk of priorities and how ours are a little out of whack, since we've put work over family. Guess where we went? If you guessed the hospital, you're right. We got home right around 6:00. Monique was really tired and laid down for a nap. I decided to read my emails, catch up on LJ, fun stuff like that while she napped. About 7:30, she wasn't awake, I was tired, I went to bed. Guess how much work got done? That's right, essentially none.
However, for some reason, I'm feeling pretty darned refreshed this morning! :-)
