This week I&#8217;ll try taking a few minutes at the end of work each day to plan my evening and decide what I&#8217;m going to leave out so I can get to sleep on time.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Housekeeping<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; I didn&#8217;t end up spending much time on this, but I did make progress on the biggest nuisances, so I&#8217;ll consider that a win.

When I make my Christmas list, I&#8217;m basically planning for several future projects at once and filtering it all on its funness rating, and it gets tiring. It has, however, gotten me thinking about a topic that&#8217;s near and dear to me, a loose collection of book genres I&#8217;m calling <a href=\"\/wiki\/Superbooks\">superbooks<\/a>, and I figured it was time I posted my wiki seed article on it, which I&#8217;ll fill out as time goes on, probably even this week. It&#8217;s also gotten me thinking about some of my creative projects, such as writing, which I bought another book for, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Writers-Idea-Book-10th-Anniversary\/dp\/1599633868\"><i>The Writer&#8217;s Idea Book<\/i><\/a>&#8211;a set of writing prompts, something that&#8217;s been lacking in my collection&#8211;so maybe I&#8217;ll work on that and some other creative projects soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>TV<\/strong> &#8211; Netflix released <i>Luke Cage<\/i> on Friday, the latest in Marvel&#8217;s street-level superhero shows, so I&#8217;m pausing my other shows while I watch through that. I&#8217;ve seen two episodes, and I&#8217;m enjoying it pretty well so far, especially Alfre Woodard, who I&#8217;ve liked ever since I was introduced to her in <i>Star Trek: First Contact<\/i>. It&#8217;s interesting to get another glimpse into (a Hollywood version of) a community that&#8217;s so different from mine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Math relearning<\/strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to keep delaying this project, so I&#8217;m back to math programming this week. My goal is to get through most of the basic supporting code (setup script, test script, and user interface).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Life updates<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Church<\/strong> &#8211; We celebrated our merged church&#8217;s one-year anniversary Sunday along with the 5-, 10-, and 50-year anniversaries of our component congregations. I ended up skipping the morning service because I got up late, but I made myself go to the special afternoon service, which was 45 minutes too long for me, but I did feel kind of inspired by some of it, and our old pastor spoke, which made me miss him a bit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project updates Life maintenance Diet &#8211; I got my blood drawn at the lab for my lipid panel, so now I&#8217;m waiting.
