  • A path forward

    I took today off to be at two meetings for Enoch. Each was scheduled for an hour and each took over 2 hours. At the first meeting we went to Matt’s Place and meet with a counselor named Shirlene. I love the fact that she soon identified that what Enoch needed was to have the…

  • Journaling 2018

    51 weeks ago (yesterday) I began journaling again regularly. Of course everything was focused on Laura. Laura tried to kill herself. Laura’s in the ICU. Laura’s in the psych ward. Laura’s at Mom’s house. Laura had a good day. Laura had a bad day. When it no longer seemed compelling to report on Laura daily…

  • Success despite obstacles

    I managed to have a successful day despite everything planned and unplanned that I had to work through. I worked from home to be able to do lunch with Noah and meet with school officials regarding Ezra. That was all fine but we had to throw in Addie getting sick so that she couldn’t come…

  • Interview two (3)

    Today I interviewed with another product owner manager as well as the product owner who I would share responsibility with if I get the job at Willis Towers Watson and leaders of the software development and information technology departments. Because they are looking for someone to take ownership over the IT support group and because…

  • Upheaval

    Suddenly out of nowhere this morning Britni gave her two week’s notice. That left us asking questions of what to do going forward as well as questioning her to get more insight. After a few hours of Laura talking with her she agreed to wait a week before deciding if she should give two week’s…

  • Nanny hopefuls

    After two weeks of looking (10 days of focused looking) we finally have an interview lined up for tomorrow (this is the second interview that we’ve lived up but the first one feel through) and another on Saturday with the more applicants that we are hoping to interview. We may yet have a nanny for…

  • New nanny again

    Right after Noah went to school Laura and I interviewed another prospective nanny named Stephanie. Laura feels like she will be the right one. We’re doing a trial day with her on Monday. The confidence level is such that Laura called to let Chandler know that we are letting her go. Laura did a great…

  • Busy day

    We decided to let Tiesha do a trial day. Laura told me that Chandler had asked for Thursday off so we set the trial day for Thursday. It would be ironic if Chandler asking for a day off opened the door for us to identify her replacement.  I barely got to see Laura on this…

  • A fresh start

    When I woke up today I put on my new running gear and went out in 16° weather to run. I found that the jacket and pants were great. They turned the ridiculously cold weather into a reasonably cold run. I also found that I really wanted a face/mouth covering for such days. After a…
