    I got a haircut and learned a lot about the particulars of my hair so that I can be confident in my style. I also applied for two jobs at Willis Towers Watson. Laura and I set up a schedule of chores etc. for each day so we feel good about or direction going forward.…

    Today was a long day to manage a kayaking trip. Suffice it to say that it was a very good day and I am completely exhausted. Let me also add that I managed to basically finish the changes to my resume in the early hours of the day.

    Visiting Dr Goldstein’s office today we found that their conclusions confirmed what we had already been learning about Isaac and Alyssa. At work I was able to clear a couple of important tickets so that I now have less than 10 in my queue again. In the evening I got my new Chromebook and made…

    I woke up at 1:00 AM (Mountain Time) to a text from Alyssa which began my morning of monitoring her chances at getting the flight. About an hour before the flight was to leave I determined that she was very unlikely to get a seat. I immediately began searching for a flight to buy a…

    It amazes me how fast time can pass. When I went to cook breakfast this morning I found it was nearly 10:00 before I finished making the food. Later I was amazed to find that it was approaching 3:00 on my way back from Lowe’s while trying to fix the bathtub handle. Throughout the day…

    I continued to cop away at work while looking forward to my long weekend. I enjoyed starting that weekend with an evening at the splash pad with Bill and call and our families. A little taking and a lot of playing with the kids was good for all of us.

    It feels like I have gained some small foothold in my emotional stability – especially as related to work. I’ve been able to get a few things done and feel like there’s a bit of a rhythm although I know a part of that is my anticipation that it won’t last for more than a…

    I had to confront the reality that I will likely have to wait until the end of August to learn if a severance package will be a possibility. I counted up to realize that even the very end of August is only 65 days from now. I created a countdown to help me manage my…

    I managed to be somewhat productive today although I’m not looking forward to the long week ahead. At work I go on call tomorrow and much of the week I’ll be essentially alone. At home Savannah is leaving tomorrow so we will only have Mariah for any possibility of reliable help. Even if she is…

    My time has been consumed and extra energy expended these last few days with the Flow-Cal Users Group conference. Tuesday that included extra hours but yesterday was normal although my night was later due to a later appointment with Dr. Empey. After three days of the conference I feel better generally – more enthusiastic about…
