I wrote last month that in August, I was probably going to:

Work more, since my clients need extra help: Yup, happened!
Work on project F3, too: Yup, wrapped up
Improve my writing techniques (outlines, snippets, etc.): Nope, focused on working
Celebrate another year, yay: Yup!

Next month, I'm going to:

Do more consulting (big milestone!)
Help with Hacklab move
