Yikes, only 6 more days in October left. I feel like I've done nothing good this month, and am further behind than when I started the month. Probably due to the two stints of being with the grandkids.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Tombstone Tuesday - Levi Holcomb (1763-1854) in Burnett, Wisconsin.
* Started over with FTM 2012, made several books and wrote Exploring Family Tree Maker 2012 - Post 10: Making an Ancestral Family Book - Part 1. Worked some in RootsMagic 4 also trying to do the same thing there - RM4 is much faster!
* Had lunch, and wrote The Moment I Knew and set it for mid-afternoon. Worked a bit more in FTM2012 and RM4.
* Left at 2:15 for my doctor's appointment. Waited over half an hour to be seen - unusual for this medical group. Took all of 10 minutes to tell me to keep applying the creme...$40 co-pay, $84 cream pack. Sh!t! Home by 3:30 p.m.
* Read everything, then started work - finally! - on my FORUM article due two weeks ago. Matt hasn't complained yet...
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV, read the paper, and eat dinner.
* Back online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and added notes and sources to the database from the Eva Kempton book for two ancestral families.
* Checked Facebook, Twitter and google Plus, answered some email, and wrote this post.
Genealogy today was 9.5 hours.

Genealogy and family research are an obsession for me. Yea, verily, I am a Geneaholic!

My genealogy day - 24 October 2011
This was a really different genealogy day for me...taught my OASIS class, worked in FTM 2012, wrote no blog posts, and not much else. I feel like I wasted the day.
* I tried to print the 10 copies of my OASIS class syllabus last night, and the black ink crapped out after one copy. Nope, none in the drawer. I have the one copy - I'll just take it to the copy shop in the morning.
* Read email and blogs, noted that Amanuensis Monday - Will of Ephraim Hildreth (1654-1731) of Westford, Mass. posted. Packed up the laptop, flash drive and one syllabus copy and was at the copy shop before 9 a.m. They open at 8 a.m.... cool, no problems! Except I forgot to take the receipt with me.
* Got to the OASIS classroom at 9:35 a.m., got set up on their laptop, checked in with the staff, taught my class to 6 receptive students, and met Linda afterwards in the parking lot. She brought In 'n' Out for lunch, so I ate it while she drove to her 1:15 p.m. medical appointment about her soy allergy in Poway. Afterwards, she dropped me at my car, and she went to Costco to get several items, including more computer ink..
* I got home from her appointment at 2:15 p.m., read everything, and noted that Exploring Family Tree Maker 2012 - Post 9: The "Ahnentafel Report" posted. Russ commented on it, and we exchanged emails the rest of the afternoon and evening.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch the World Series game, read the paper, and eat dinner. Back online after 6:30 p.m. to do more emails. Linda brought in the printer ink, and I opened one pack and installed the black. I went to put the rest of the packs in my "printer ink place" and found that I already had some. Drat. I never checked there...only in the drawer. Senior moment again. Drat again. Now I hope that the printer doesn't crap out in the next six months or so!
* worked creating a book in FTM 2012. Had success, but it sure took a long time to get a 10-generation ancestral report done (832 pages), and the Index never finished. Rats - will have to do it all over again, I fear. That wasted a lot of time.
* Went in to watch the end of the baseball and football games, then back online to read, add to the Best Of post, check in on Facebook and Google Plus, and write this post.
Genealogy today was about 9.5 hours. I still have my FORUM column to write, and finally think I have a topic. That's the hardest part - the topic for a column that publishes three months later!

My family history days - 20 and 21 October 2011
These days have not been full genealogy days because the grandgirls came on Thursday at 11 a.m. along with the new grandhound, Spencer. Tami and James are in La Jolla, where Tami has a conference.
Both days have been mainly reading and blogging when I can find a spare 20-30 minutes. We've stayed home and played in the house, in the back yard, and taken walks with Spencer. Spencer is a young basset hound puppy, and is very active. He wants to grab anything that he can get his mouth around and shake it to death, or shreds. Our challenge has been to keep things, or take therm, away from him. We shut the doors to all of the bedrooms and the genea-cave!
The girls have been great, although they don't go to sleep as well as they used to. Lauren has impressed us with her vocabulary and third grade reading left (she's in first grade), and really shares/plays well with Audrey, who is 3. They are really good, sweet, happy, smart little girls - we love them so much!
So you can see - not much genealogy work, but lots of family history! They go home on Sunday.

My genealogy day - 17 October 2011
I'm back in town, and in the swing of things, but got caught up in the FTM 2012 stuff today rather than work on my two imminent projects. Maybe I can finish both on Tuesday!
* Read email and blogs, and wrote Amanuensis Monday - The Will of Thomas King (ca1600-1676) of Marlborough, Mass. Answered several emails.
* Worked in FTM 2012 some more, and posted Exploring Family Tree Maker 2012 - Post 7: More GEDCOM Trials. After lunch, went to the library to return a book, and get another. Added comments to the FTM2012 post, then emailed with Russ until 4 p.m.
* Wrote Guess Who Won the AARP "Discover Your Roots" ePrize? and then Linda needed to work on the computer. Went in and took a nap, then read the paper, finished one book, ate dinner, did some chores, and watched the football game.
* Back online at 7 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, take some phone calls, then worked on File Organization more. Need to go back into the files and use my file naming protocols.
* Wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 12 October 2011
Warmest day of the year in Chula Vista - 99 F. Last time it was this warm, in early September, the power went off for a day.
* Read email and blogs, wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 174: The Four-Mile House in 1930.
* Worked in FTM 2012 for awhile, and wrote Exploring Family Tree Maker 2012 - Post 5: Importing and Exporting Media Files with GEDCOM, and set it for later in the morning.
* Gathered up my Wisconsin research stuff, and headed out for lunch at McDonald's, then to the library.
* Hosted the CVGS Research Group - we had 16. Presented my Lessons Learned vacation talk, and it seemed to be well received. Second hour was sharing by others, then I showed a bit of FTM 2012 to several who were interested. The Syncing worked.
* Home by 2:30 p.m. to read, wrote some blog posts, including CGSSD Mini-Fair on Saturday, 15 October 2011. Answered some email too.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the baseball game, read the paper, eat dinner, take out the trash, and water the front plants. Too hot to mow the front lawn.
* Back online at 6:30 p.m. to read, write more blog posts, answer more email, and started backing up files to the laptop. Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and Google Plus, and wrote this post.
Genealogy today was 9.5 hours.

My genealogy day - 11 October 2011
It was a strange day...but I got a lot done and I'm almost ready to go off to Santa Cruz on Thursday to see the grand-boys.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Tombstone Tuesday - Anna and Torger Leland in Deerfield, Wisconsin.
* Was answering email when the Internet connection went down at 9 a.m., and didn't come back until 11:30 a.m. Laptop didn't work either. Called Cox at 10 a.m. and the message said they were working on it. Called cox again at 11:30 a.m. and the guy said things looked OK. Sure enough, I was back online.
* During the downtime, I sorted my paper piles again (to be entered, to be sourced, and to be filed) - maybe I can keep them straight now. Started on the Lessons Learned pitch for the CVGS Research Group on Wednesday. Got it pretty much done by the time the Internet came back. Scanned some images for inclusion in the presentation.
* Worked in FTM 2012 and wrote Exploring Family Tree Maker 2012 - Post 4: Census Source Citation Comparison for almost two hours.
* Added material to the Lessons Learned presentation, saved it as a PDF, copied it to the USB drive and then to the laptop.
* Worked on the checkbook for over two hours - done and better organized.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch baseball, read the paper and eat dinner.
* Back online at 6:30 p.m. to read, added to the Best Of post, write two posts for the week ahead, and added some content to the RootsMagic database. Checked Facebook and Google Plus, and answered some email. Added to the Family History Mystery Tour Compendium post also.

My genealogy day - 8 October 2011
It was a full day, but it wasn't all genealogy. Some friends made family history.
* Read email and blogs, noted that Surname Saturday - PEIRCE (England > Massachusetts) posted, and then wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Genealogy Database Statistics.
* Packed up the laptop, and went off to the SDGS meeting in San Diego. Met Linda Serna and we chatted for awhile - we exchanged cards. Linda gave two excellent presentations on interesting topics - I loved the record examples she used in her talks. What a wealth of experience and material.
* High-tailed it down the freeway to Bonita for the CVGS Workshop at 1 p.m. Shirley and Gary talked about Windows computer systems, then Gary and I talked about Family Tree Maker. I installed FTM2012 on my laptop and loaded in a recent GEDCOM - it took about 90 minutes to do it.
* Left just before 3, and high-tailed it home. We left at 3:15 for the barbecue restaurant to get food for Linda, then Io Sherry's house for the wedding at 4 p.m. Saw cousin Ken Wing there and we talked some Wing family genealogy.
* Home just after 7 p.m. to watch baseball, then SDSU football game, read the paper, then my book.
* Came in at 9 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook and write this post. SNGF had a great response tonight!
