some joy and some sorrows

Let’s just get the complaining out of the way at first. I’ve been sick for the last two weeks. The first week was the sore throat and some congestion, the second was just sinus pressure and more pressure. I didn’t feel congested like normal, just the pressure that almost caused headaches a couple times. I think I was mostly well today, but then I had to go and work from 7 till 10. That’s not conducive to staying well. Right now, I’ve got a splitting headache and I hope it goes away soon.

Now that that’s over with. Last week was spent in the office. First we rearranged the office so I have my own sweet space. I say sweet because it’s a corner with a huge L shape desk and white boards. (The white boards are quite useful when brainstorming a programming project.) By the way, I am very excited about having my own spot. It’s been two weeks and just thinking about it still makes me happy. Weird, huh? The rest of last week was spent catching up on CD sales orders, mastering CDs, and programming. Oh yeah, I also started playing Settlers of Catan. (Board game that’s addicting and a lot of fun.)

This week … well … I’m back in Yountville, CA mostly finishing their sound system … finally. Tonight was their Christmas music program and the first program to run through their brand new sound system. Yes. We finally finished it enough to use it. Let me tell you. I am very very very pleased that it’s not hanging over my head as another unfinished project. I guess I can’t see we are “finished”, but it’s close enough. It’s runs and they can use it. In my book, that’s most of the project done. This project has been very frustrating at times and that’s putting it mildly. So relief is the current feeling, well, it would be except for the headache. We got quite a few compliments on sound tonight and I am very happy with the way it sounds. I’m quite picky and have become even more so since I’ve been spoiled with an awesome system for our live shows. So, to make me very happy with it, means, “It rocks!”

Well, that’s enough to help you get caught up on my life short-term. Briefly, I spent most of November in Arroyo Grande, CA installing a new system there. Also, my original “home” church and I spent Thanksgiving down at my Grandma’s place in Loma Linda and actually got to briefly visit my other grandparents since they were down there with some cousins.
