Doing something nice!

So the Project Manager and I have a new project, and that's fun! We are focused on the fun, and the joy, and the HOORAY of it all.

And some folk are NOT FOCUSED ON FUN.

They are focused on "what kind of fun will it be, will it be the right kind of fun?"

So being conservative is a good thing; you ask probing questions that challenge progressive assumptions, and that's a good process to go through.

But being a reactionary means that everything new is bad, even with answers from progressives to the valid questions.

Conservatism is caution, reactionary is angry.

Pushing on through pushing on through

A few more days, and then there's a bit of a break!

But hooo boy it's been a grind a bit.

Work is madness, the house is more or less a disaster, but hey.. . at least we're getting through the summer camps madness!

Peanut #1 is in one million day camps and is having an hilarious time and sleeping great, and Peanut #2 is getting ready for kindergarten.  We haven't actually done any work to GET her ready, but.. you know.. s'all good.  I think.

Energy

I am tired!

And behind on everything.

So it's hard to get started. But I gots ta. Maybe next week?

Another trigger for grumpy daddy... slamming doors

It occurred to me that I need a whole new skillset here, because I suspect that the slamming doors phase of our lives is juuuuuuuuuuust getting started...

I worry, genuinely, about my ability to handle it.

Busy!

I am crashing through work today, trying to get as much done as possible.

I am pushing hard on this, and there' smore to do at home, so it's all poewr to the forward thrusters.

One goal for today: take things OFF my plate at work. Like, STOP doing things.

Self-care coming along!

I am getting better!

Less smokey, more runny, and MORE BIKEY!!!

We are back into our bike routine, which is so awesome...

Also we had to put 2K into the car this week for new struts, so, ouch.  But that's ok, the car is 15 years old and owes us nothing, so it's an okay thing to spend on as it will likely get us another couple of years of driving out of it.

Work is overwhelming at this point, with HR BS to deal with and trying to keep the ship upright in the face of budget pressure, work pressure, and some very serious imminent risk that we don't have enough power to resolve.

I find I"m getting angrier at work, all the time, and I need to practice the NOT ANGRY parts of my personality at work before I flame out.  Is burn out symptomed by being super testy and volatile? probably.

oof,

I'm DEEPLY out of my fitness regime, and this needs to get fixed fast... or should that be fixed "fat"?

My self-care routine is totally shot, BUT.... at least I wrote it down so that I know what I'm supposed to be achieving, so there's that.
