So excited that I’ll wait

I have all the parts to build my new keyboard. I am on a pseudo-vacation this week. Building and programming the keyboard was one of my intended projects. At the airport, my 12-year-old son asked me not to build it because he wants to help. You can darn well bet that putting that keyboard together can wait a couple more weeks!

I am on a not-a-vacation

I have taken a week off from my day job. Well, next weekend, I will be in training for 3 days so it is not exactly a full week (9 days if you count weekends on either end of a ‘vacation’) and while technically the training is for the Boy Scouts, it is leadership training that is supposed to be on par with Covey Leadership and other corporate training. Plus I have homework to prepare for the weekend of training.

I had really hoped to have this week to work on the house and perhaps travel to visit with relatives or to take Amy somewhere special. Alas, today is Sunday, and while I am very relaxed, I am sitting at the computer to do some work for my day job (the one I am on vacation from) and for my evening and weekend job (my freelancing). Adulting is hard.

Turbulence

It is a beautiful Sunday. I could easily spend it just being outside. Instead, I will be on the computer all day. I am making good progress but want to make better progress. The potential to allow stress to get out of hand is high but I’m staying frosty.
