Ham-less breakfast...
Sep. 7th, 2012 10:12 pmFor the first time in a while, I ate Friday breakfast by myself (albeit in the company of Shiloh and Thumper, who sat obediently nearby, waiting for something to fall off my plate).
I tried to take something upstairs every time I had a need to go upstairs, and generally succeeded. (I lost my fitbit a while ago, else it would probably report pretty impressive stair-climbing over the past 10 days or so.)
I translated about 3,400 words of the top priority item, which leaves just under 5,000 words in the assignment, which I hope to finish by mid-day tomorrow. I did a chunk of it using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which encouraged me (because if I don't overload my machine's memory with miscellaneous applications, it actually does a pretty good job of recognizing what I'm saying) and scared me ("pretty good" means the transcription requires review, which means a particularly careful reading once I'm done with my draft translation).
Time to get to sleep. There's something I need to do tomorrow morning before I settle down to do another chunk of work.
Cheers...
