Hump day. The district’s closed today because of snow drifts. I was up at 3:00 AM and drove up-and-down Mae Valley, Dune Lakes and around town. I’ve never lived anyplace that gets the constant wind that Moses Lake gets and I encountered drifts 5′ high in some areas.
The nice thing about snow days is that it’s generally quiet at work since there’s only a couple staff here. It’s a good time for me to get caught up on work and I can also leave work early and go do other things.
I was able to leave work at 2 and go to the gym and get in a good workout. I thought there would be a spike in patrons, it being New Year’s and all, but there were only a handful of people there. Today was back and triceps. I’m seeing slow gains, but I think that’s the best way to go – slow and steady.
Today I also finished Lynda.com’s WordPress Essential Training. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get a grasp on WordPress. I’m in the process of watching Lynda.com’s WordPress Themes. Keeping a WordPress blog is helping me become familiar with the WP environment and I’m enjoying getting my feet wet.
I’ve been playing around with my logo and have a few ideas where I want to go. I really like the simplicity of my original logo and think that’s the one I’ll use for my day-to-day blog, but I always wanted to incorporate the design with other elements and textures. I used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo and I also used a “scratchy”vector graphic overlay to give my design a “worn”effect.
Here’s the original design:
Here’s the same design with a “scratchy” vector overlay:
It’s a silly design, but I like it (and that’s all that matters). 😉
Okay, I better get to studying Statistics and Probability. YUCK!
