Ah hell, what's one more blog post?

With so many empty spaces between them, one more surely won't hurt.

It's extremely hot in my office right now. I wish it was cooler, but it's nearly time to go to sleep, so it really doesn't matter all that much.

I'm getting a bit calmer where it comes to my job… perhaps it's just less of a feeling of personal attachment to the work. I've reached the point where I simply am not willing to feel bad when things screw up, and I'm long past the point where I'll accept the blame for things beyond my control.

I don't think everyone's caught on yet. That's one benefit to working so far away from the rest of the office, it makes it more difficult to break into a round of swearing in front of them, and I usually have enough time to calm down before I talk to them next.

I do wonder sometimes how long I can keep this schedule up though. I was working at 7:30 this morning, and it was nearly 7 when I stopped today. It's frustrating to have the whole day go by and be chained into my chair, to try and schedule a morning shower, and to see 1 o'clock come around before it actually happens. To gulp down my food, and never finish a meal with my wife. To never truly be off duty, and to lose the joy of getting some fresh air when the phone rings.

We all make our choices though, and this one was mine. I'm going to have to change things within the next month or two, even I've got a breaking point, and I think I'll be nearer to it if I don't change things to get out of the house a bit more. Hell, even babies can't do more than 9 months in a little space without needing to bust out!

Christina's been wonderful through out this. I can't imagine being sane after 6 months stuck at home by myself!

We've talked to a financial expert this last week, and it's driven home a sad truth, I'm still not making enough money to ever be more than a renter. I'm going to have to earn about 40{99f4aabb8f9a8b7318031e7dd7e1d4d33a10ca1a288a083cef0cdea647a62112} more reliably to be able to afford a house AND food. It's quite an eye opener, but i'm going to keep trying as hard as i can. I know where I want to get to, and if i can drag myself out of the dirt, I can certainly drag myself a little farther.

Dear reader, what were you expecting here? I often wonder who reads this stuff, at best it's overly wordy, and at worst it's pointlessly melancholic. Then again, where else am I going to pour this stuff out? The garden wouldn't like it, and this kind of fertilizer isn't what makes the flowers grow up straight and tall after all.

Tomorrow Christina gets some rather serious dental work done. She's nervous, I'm nervous, and I'm just hoping for it all to go smoothly, and for a speedy recovery. Did i mention I hate problems I can't solve? Do the best I can I guess, and that's all that we can hope for.

Mr. Man heads back to school next week. As one might imagine, he's absolutely thrilled and excited…. nah, I can't even finish that sentence. He's a bundle of nerves, and I'm just waiting for him to shake a patch out of the floor underneath him. New school, new town, new country, new curriculum… I think I can see a few reasons he might be tense, so I'm trying not to make it any worse… damn my tricky sense of humor…..

I'm going to cut this short I think.. i have a little time before bed, time to sink into my book for a little.

If you're actually reading this, as strange as that may be, stay tuned.
