Yesterday I slept in because I didn’t need to be into work early. I gave a presentation to students at a high school tech conference. I think I was a little stressed out because I did’t really start writing out my slides until the train ride home from work, then I met with a couple of developers who wanted to help out on EnvelopeBudget.com. So, I didn’t actually finish my slides until about 10:30 at night, then I never really practiced presenting.

Despite all of that, I think it went really well. The students seemed very interested in what I was saying and asked a number of questions afterwards. As I was packing up to leave they asked if I could stay and present again. I was surprised. I guess that was the plan, I just didn’t know about it. Overall I would say it was a success and I enjoyed it. I want to become a better public speaker and presenter so I did this for practice and I feel it was worth it.

As far as pain progress, two nights ago I went to bed with a sore right knee as the worst pain. When I woke up yesterday my knee was still sore, but not as bad, my back was sore, and the bottom of my left foot has been hurting for a  few days. Also, I noticed that my right wrist was starting to hurt. By afternoon I didn’t really notice any of those pains.

This morning when I woke up, my back was a little sore and the bottom of my left foot still hurts. That is about it though. Nether is hurt too bad.

Our living room paining job is still not quite complete. Yesterday he put in all the lights and sanded & repainted the railing. I think it is VERY close now. There are a few touch-ups that need to be done, but I suspect today they will be finished. I have to admit that it is a big improvement. If I had the money, I would start working on our kitchen as it is the last room on the main floor that hasn’t been painted now.

As far as thinking about what could be causing me internal rage, in my current situation and circumstances, I think the biggest stress right now is that I haven’t done anything to submit taxes yet. Generally I have them done in February. I haven’t even started looking at them. I told myself I would this week as the painting project was supposed to be done last week. Everything from my office is packed away in the spare bedroom in the basement so I haven’t been able to do anything. But since they will likely be done today, we can put the office back together tonight and I can work on taxes this weekend. I want to spend Saturday morning getting them done.

Work is going well. I gave an estimate of completion as 3 weeks. It has been a week and half since I said that. I think I’m on schedule. Getting the live server took a little longer that I expected and I seem to be having some issues with scheduled tasks running regularly. Hopefully I can get that figured out because this project relies on it.

We also interviewed a front-end developer that I reached out to on Twitter. Initially he said “no thanks” but then circumstanced changed with his current employer so he reached out to me. Our interview went very well and I suspect he will be join in us in about 3 weeks to work on our big new project. That is exciting. I think we will make a great team.
