Back in the Saddle Again

This past week, I started a new class. I realized I was in a slump. It is called “The Artist’s Way”. I need to get my boots on again. 

 I know it has been a while since I posted and there are many reasons why, but now, I am taking the steps forward to reclaim myself. Over the next 12 weeks, I am going to share with you what I am doing. 

When you are a web designer and you don’t want to spend time on a computer, something needs to be fixed. I am going to work on it like I did with Crossfit. It may be fill with complaints, but that is part of the process.

The New Year

It is time to renew. Try to forget those impact moments from the past year and make new ones. This year, I will reflect on the past year, especially those things that bothered me to this day. I will then get over it and move on. Maybe it won't bother me as much.

I am a positive person. I always, to a fault, look for the good in people. I hope this doesn't change.

To the new year and new challenges.

Happy New Year

What a day

As my ankle continues to heal, it has been a couple of weeks now that I haven't exercised.Work has kept me busy though, so at least I am moving at a fast pace most days.

My day started with not wanting to get up.

This particular morning...the bed felt so perfect. You know what I am talking about. When the temperature is just right, my position was just right, and all the pillows were in the right place. I was in heaven and could close my eyes and just dream away.

It was 6:23am.

I sat there.

And I continued to sit there not wanting it to end.

Ok

Time to get up.

I am so glad I did. I didn't give in to that wonderful comfy placec of relaxation. I had the best day ahead, that I didn't know until it unfolded.

I went to church, albeit a couple of minutes late *see above*

It was a beautiful service and a great parable talked about in the sermon that I could relate to in my life right now.

Usually, church is a date with my mother. I cherish that and look forward to ceremony and being around an amazing woman. This morning Papa joined us.

We had a very nice lunch, and I took Papa home while Mom went to the grocery. I got to spend an hour or so talking with Papa, uninterrupted about quite a few things.

On the way home, I asked his opinion on the upcoming election and the candidates. And that set the tone. I got to talk, engage, and be with my Dad. It was amazing.

Like I said, What a day!

One Year

It has been a year since I started this blog. For the past few months, I have not been posting. Main reason, a long distance move and schedule adjustments.

Starting next week, though. I will be back. Let the adventures begin!

Programming Isn't Manual Labor, But It Still Sucks

But, for the sake of the argument, can we agree that stress and insanity are bad things? Awesome. Welcome to programming.
