I found myself in this situation this week. We had workmen at our house installing insulation in the attic. Because my husband\/tech advisor stayed home for this fun event, we ended up working on various other home improvement projects together as the men sweated in the attic. I spent my scarce genealogy time working on small tasks and loose ends.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I finished up my album of cemetery marker photos. I created a decorative cover and added divider sheets between the surnames found in the album.\n<\/li>\n<li>On Monday night, after the workmen had gone home for the day, we attended the monthly Computer Interest Group (CIG) meeting. There we listened to a presentation on basic computer skills\u2014operating systems, malware, creating files and folders. The speaker offered some helpful tricks and tips. We left early when a Microsoft Office tutorial began. I used to teach this stuff myself.\n<\/li>\n<li>This week I received word that my cousin has a new great-grandson. He has a very unusual name, Atom. Yes, Atom. I added him to my database.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not a lot of progress, but sometimes other things demand attention. Next week? Well, as much as I would like to prioritize genealogy, I do have an inspection of this week&#8217;s work scheduled for next Thursday. There goes another morning. Perhaps I can find yet another small genealogy task for that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you do genealogy when you have only short snatches of time available?
