Motivation

I worked most of the weekend, so spent some time over the past two days running errands, keeping appointments and putting aside items for recycling, donation or a future yard sale.
Last night was our User Group January meeting, and it included a visit from one of our New England Developer Evangelists, which is kind of a big deal.
Fortunately, we had a good turnout, good enough that our DE’s guest, another speaker, volunteered to come back to do a presentation in April.
Best of all, at least from my perspective as the person who picked the date and the place, the weather held for us, making it an easy back and forth commute for everyone.
I’d been nervous because there were predictions for snow showers last evening and clear skies today.
As it turned out, though, even though it’s a bright, sunny morning, it’s colder than a well-digger’s rear, and temps are expected to be in the single digits tonight. I suspect that would have demotivated all but the hardiest and it would have been unpleasant in any event, so the meeting date turned out to be okay after all.
The bad news is that I really want to do a transfer station run today, the last stage of my clean-up efforts, and the prospect isn’t doing much for me.
Onward, ever onward.
