    First thing in the morning I went to check on Coconut and found that she had escaped. Since it was her first night she has no connection to our house so there was no way to expect that she was bound to return. When I got home from work she was still gone with no…

    With a conversation that started in 2016, Laura and I finally invited people to a small get-together on the 31st. It started as a celebration of our combined 40-ness but, realizing that neither of us are big-group people, morphed into the first of a series of smaller gathering to enjoy time with God friends. With…

    I noticed that after about a week nobody else was keeping up with tracking what they were doing for the happiness challenge except me and my motivation was waning. I got a message this morning that Tevya posted explaining that some outside factors (sick if I recall) had hampered him but that he was now…

    I’m grateful that my kids have friends and that my little boys can entertain themselves outside for long stretches (that bodes well for future emotional development). I’m also grateful to learn that Chris Bradshaw got surgery on his noise and throat which is relieving his sleep apnea. I hope as that physical challenge is diminished…

    We had a nice day today. I am still spiritually depleted but I know I will eventually be replenished. Scott Bleak spoke about Elder Holland’s Laborers in the Vineyard talk in sacrament meeting. I wish I had been able to hear more of it rather than chasing the boys because it really gets to the…

    Towards the end of my scripture study Laura showed me a blood clot and asked if we should call Nancy. We decided to wait until a more reasonable hour (it was 6:30). 15 minutes later after I was done with scriptures and towards the end of studying Elder Bednar’s conference talk Laura came out and…

    I have been having a discussion about what a legislator should be like, what qualifications and skills they need and how they should operate their campaign (I’ll be talking about their office soon) on my site and I think from the comments that I have at least one person who would vote for me, no…

    I’m dragging today – physically not in peak form and emotionally worn out as well. I think that Monday is catching up with me on both fronts – I detailed the emotional weight of the day in that journal entry, but I failed to mention that on top of all that I built two new…

    We had a successful upgrade to Kronos 6.1 at work today. We even got all the reports working for the new version which was a huge load off of my mind (since I was largely in charge of that portion of the upgrade). I have come to the conclusion that I need to make better…
