Since I work 3 days a week right now, I typically refill the queue for my design blog on the weekend, which is not usually hard because 4 days in a row off!

But this weekend (+Monday and Tuesday) I started adding songwriter and date and context information to all my Great American Songbook/female vocal jazz music, which is only about ~350 tracks. And I got so involved in it that I completely ran out of time to do that other stuff (although we did clean the kitchen, bake new zucchini bread and go walking together a couple of times, so the weekend didn't SUCK). I got songwriter information for almost all the songs, and original date (of the song's publishing or recording, whichever came first) for all the songs that I like, but it's missing from about 20-40 still. (And then I need to get some more albums, although I do think going into Turku to visit the jazz record store would probably be more effective in general... although there are some that I can buy online.)

I also didn't knit this weekend. And I was going to knit myself an ear saver because my ears were hurting when I left work two afternoons last week! But I forgot that too.

Wax has her vacation right now - the second half of her summer vacation, I mean. The first half was in July, and it was too hot to do anything really, so we didn't. But now there's like two weeks, total, and a list two miles long of things in the house that we have to finish, and basically it's just so overwhelming that we have to sit down and rest after the stress of thinking about it. It remains to be seen whether we will actually accomplish any of it.
