so much to do, so little time to think

School has been keeping me busy lately, with the first Java class winding down to it's final week soon and projects to complete in order to make the grade. Work has been busier than I have been use to with little time to work on much of anything personal except at lunch and my evenings have been spent finishing homework that normally would be done at work. The newB is learning, and has figured out how to stay out of my office for most of the day, unless he has a question which is understandable ... has resulted in much lower stress levels for me during the day.

The weekend was spent north ... it went ... it was loud ... Genna was a blast most of the weekend and even Maddalynn had her moments. Poor Margurite is cutting teeth and has a double ear infection so not much sleep was to be had Saturday night though she was content most of the day time hours and is just about old enough to actually play with. She's just under 8 months old so though she can sit up on her own she tends to lean over in one direction or another and winds up falling down. By Thanksgiving she should be ready.

The bike is parked for the winter, except taking care of the fuel tank since I was an idiot and left the ignition key at home and couldn't run the lines dry or open the gas cap. The seat is off, it's parked out of the way, and the gear is packed away for the most part. Even my boots went north to spend the winter with my jacket and helmet, don't have much call for them around here with nothing to ride.

The highlight of the weekend ... about an hour and a half Monday morning spent with Jack. I'm still digesting that conversation and will talk about it eventually ... for now I am just content knowing I managed to talk to him openly for the first time in my life. It took most of the summer to get to the point where I could speak what has been running through my head, but I did it and I think we both have a little better understanding of where we're each coming from. And, for the first time in my life, if I never got the chance to talk to him again, I could be at peace with that.

It's late, I need sleep, I'm off to bed before today turns into tomorrow.
