What are your goals for the week? #115

It's the last week of February. Hopefully Spring weather gets here soon. Last week was cold and snowy.

Schools were only open two days last week. Closed President's Day, Open Tuesday, closed for snow Wednesday, still closed Thursday. It was single digits during school commute time, roads were still icy in spots. Supposedly only one district in the state was open Thursday. My son's school reopened Friday but the more rural areas were still closed. It was still cold.

Watched two virtual conventions during the snow but didn't bother to blog on them. I will do better this week for Axe-Con.

What are your goals for the week?

  • What are you building?
  • What are you working on this week?
  • Are you attending any events this week?
