March 2019 Recap

I saw "The Play that Goes Wrong" which was hilarious and the amazing stage tech they displayed was perfectly used! This month I also dealt with a variety of health issues. Nothing like calling emergency services in a snowstorm and being told, yes you really should come in, but no sorry, you'll have to make your own way there. The state I was in meant I couldn't drive in, so I spent a lovely blizzardly day feeling like I was dying.

This month I dealt with some really bad Carpal Tunnel symptoms. I decided to get an expensive keyboard and mouse and that helped a lot. I also started to create Travel Scrapbooks with all of the stuff I've collected from my trips. Many, many, trips to the stationery stores and I finally had all the supplies to start the project. Lastly, this is my birthday month! So I decided to go to the Denver Aquarium for the day!

January was a busy work month. I spent part of it working from home, recovering from my sprained ankle that happened in December. Then we had a huge team in the office for Sales Kickoff, which had a 70's theme night.

December 2018 Recap

This was a weird month. I didn't feel very Christmasy even though I did a lot of Holiday things. I think it was the weather. We didn't get snow until December 31st. Rocker Santa Isaac Joe Dave This month I went to a The Fray concert. I went alone for the first time, but still managed to get front row, but a little left than center that I would normally get. I had so much fun! Sadly didn't score a setlist this time. Tessa turned 10 years old! How is that possible!
