It’s always something, isn’t it?

I guess I shouldn’t really complain, and it’s not so much of a complaint as it is an annoyance. I’ve been working on various things all evening without issue. But I want to do something as simple as make a post here and then the Internet connection starts to go flaky on me. Ah well. It could be worse, I guess. Better than having the satellite service decommissioned because of a clerical error unrelated to anything in my control (that resulted in my spending over eight hours on the phone in one day)…but that’s a different subject entirely.

So I took some time tonight to make ‘Birthing Tunes, volume 1.’ This is the CD that Beth wanted me to make (containing tracks of various pleasant-sounding natures). I believe I’ll be making volume 2 at some point in time (unless the baby decides to come before I take the time). There are some items I’d like to include just for the sake of the nurse midwife. 🙂

I also finally got Very Pregnant Pictures(tm) of Beth tonight. In fact, that was mere minutes ago. Out of respect for my own life, I’m afraid nobody will be seeing those via the public Internet. But, as I told her, ‘one day she’ll thank me’ for taking those. 🙂 Actually, it should be a good reminiscing moment when the time comes…

I had another fairly productive day at work today. Not exactly in the way I wanted, but I did get a few things taken care of that I wanted to get done prior to the birth. I’m whittling away at loose ends so that my workload will be more manageable when the time comes to not be in the office every day for a while. I believe I will be successful in this endeavor. That would clearly be a Good Thing.

While I was waiting for the day to be over (so to speak) — that time of the day when I’m winding down at work but don’t want to start anything really new — I took the time to go through all of my other work-related bookmarks and do the del.icio.us thing. I still have more links to go through at work, but the bookmark folders themselves have been managed. This may come in handy during my time off (when I’m at home working rather than at the office). So I did a bunch of that stuff which is likely why my little del.icio.us linkroll in the sidebar likely looks uninteresting (if you view this within about 24 hours of when I made those additions).

And speaking of sidebar material, I took some time last night to configure the links and miscellaneous sections. I don’t know that I like all the stuff there, but it’s relevant — at least to me. And it’s my blog, so deal with it. 🙂

That’s really all I’ve got to say, aside from the fact it occurred to me that the title of this post should really be the title of a new, unwritten country song. Perhaps I’ll work on that sometime…

Until then…
