My Genealogy Sunday and Monday - 7-8 December 2014

We got home from our genealogy cruise with Heritage Books on Saturday afternoon.  I spent the afternoon and evening reading over 1000 emails and started on the 2200 blog posts in Feedly.  Gave up after reading about 600.  Marked the remainder as "read."  Did put together a Sunday Best Of post.

1)  Sunday, 7 December:

*  Read email and blogs early, finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 30 November to 6 December 2014 post.  

*  We went off to church at 9:30 a.m., went to the store afterwards, and got home at 12:30 p.m.  Read, checked Facebook, and sorted saved emails into folders.  Answered a bunch of them.

*  Finished up the CVGS Newsletter and emailed it to the members.  Worked on the two surveys.

*  Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Chargers/Patriots game.  We were ahead for three quarters, and lost 23-14.  Good defensive game - one mistake.  It was a winnable game.

*  Linda had bad headache and chills this evening. Finally asleep at 9:30 p.m.

*  Wrote a post for Monday morning.  Genealogy this day was 5.0 hours.

2)  Monday, 8 December 2014:  Linda was better today.

*  Read email and blogs, and noted that New or Updated Ancestry.com Databases - 29 November to 6 December 2014 posted.  Wrote Ancestry.com Publishes "Ancestry Global Family History Report"and set it for late morning.

*  Joined the Mondays With Myrt Hangout on air and contributed a bit, including a cruise summary.  

*  Wrote More on RootsMagic and MyHeritage Links and set it for early afternoon. 

*  Printed off the CVGS Newsletter masters and the postal mail list, and went to the UPS Store and published it.  Needed new ink cartridges to do it, both color and back.

*  Home by 2:15 p.m. to wait for Linda to read her email and Facebook.  Agony...watched TV news.

*  Finally online at 3:45 p.m. to read, then wrote New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - November 30 to December 6, 2014.

*  Checked Facebook, added to the new Best Of post.  Printed off the Christmas letter mailing list.  Need to work on the Christmas letter - we're late with that this year.  Got the photos into file folders too.

*  Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, read the paper, wash the dishes.

*  Online to work a bit in the database - sort of randomly.  Added some Seaver folks found in 1940 census.  Uploaded some photos from the cruise to Facebook.  Need to do blog posts too.

*  Wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.
