The Longest Week of Work

So I have to admit, as much as I would like to be focusing on all things date related, I’m definitely having a much more difficult time this week with so much over time at work. Planning dates is not easy, which is exactly why I've set out to make it easier for everyone else. I have put in about 60 hours at work this week. Something I never thought I would do...ever! And the fact that I have now found myself in this position, I am realizing just how much I hate money! Sure, it is nice to have nice things, but I would much rather do nice things.

Date #5

The next couple of weeks will probably have pretty basic posts. Overtime is killing me, and I just don't have the mental stamina to put much more into it right now. So sorry for that.

Moving Targets

One of the most difficult parts about my work, software development, is making a plan to have something completed by a specific date, then learning that if you stay on your current course, you’re going to miss your mark entirely.  It is for that very reason that I’m having to put in extra hours this week.

Planning: Give a Little

Christmas is my favorite!

I love the snow, I love the lights, I even love the cold!...and I love that gingerbread house!  

This time of year has a natural ability to bring people closer together...which likely has something to do with the cold. Sometimes I get desires to go out and sing carols on a busy corner. Or go volunteer my time at a homeless shelter.

Lessons From November

So I’m halfway through Phase 1, and I must say that I am pleased with the results so far.  My wife and I are growing closer and communication has been opening up as well.  I am impressed with how quickly I am noticing a difference.

While my writing and blogging skills are likely still in need of lots of work, I am noticing some improvement there as well. Hopefully you are too.

Post-Op: Home For Christmas

Based on some feedback, which I suspected anyway, I've decided to forego telling post-ops in story format.  As was mentioned, the story just isn't interesting enough to be entertaining.  Not to mention how much I was struggling to both provide details that may or may not have existed and keep from running too long.  Strangely, the latter was the bigger problem.  Don’t worry, if there is anyone who actually liked the stories, once I am comfortable enough to start sharing stories from my past, those should fill that void.

Traces of Tryptophan

So I opened up my posting schedule to find that I had failed to assign a topic to today’s post. I've spent some time trying to think of a few things to post on without having to rearrange the rest of my schedule, but the truth on the matter is that all of my thoughts so far sound like more work than I’m willing to give right now.  This is mostly due to the fact that I have been reveling in my time off over the weekend.   A lazy attitude augmented by the fact that I start overtime hours at work tomorrow.  While I may not be as busy as most mothers out there, it doesn't mean I have to be excited about a packed schedule.
