It’s been over a month since my last blog post. During that time I’d been working on a post that, while started with good intentions, got too buried within its own subject matter. Work and family was more of the focus over the last five weeks, and some personal issues kept shattering my focus on the material I had set out to create. In the end, I decided to table the post and just write something here more “stream of consciousness”.
Lately, it’s been one day at a time for me. Life got quite a bit smaller after losing both my cat and my girlfriend of 2 ½ years simultaneously. Other issues happened at about the same time both personally and professionally that, all taken together, knocked me down several rungs of the ladder. If I truly believed in luck, I would have concluded that I’ve had nothing but a bad run of it since New Year’s Day. So I make it through each day by sticking with my recently developed routines and dealing with each day’s challenges as they come.
