This weekend

Someone lied when they said last weekend was daylight savings time. THIS weekend is it, which is nice because I'm flying in on Sunday night back from seeing my kid so it will be nice to have an extra hour to sleep in the morning.

I slept TERRIBLE Wednesday going into Thursday. I still think about what you will do with me in those times. I suspect you'll kick me to the couch. No idea why I couldn't sleep.

So yesterday I was exhausted and really needed to go get my nails re-done or they were going to be terrible by the end of next week. Then, trying to be a nice boss I brought pizza to my team that I ASSUMED would be working late given the deadline they are under only to find out there were only three out of nine of them still there.

That's what I get for assuming.

It highlights just how toxic my last role was, that to me it would have been normal under such circumstances to be in the office by seven and not leave until 7-9 in the evening and here, they were flabbergasted that one of the team stayed until 7 the night before.

Don't get me wrong, I know it was unhealthy what I was doing but there are certain times that you just have to do that sort of thing.

So, given I'm in such a seemingly cushy job, I decided to take on another project (or three). I signed a contract to do a business development job for a group I've worked with in the past, putting together a business plan for them. I'm talking to another firm about launching a new service and managing it from afar a few hours a week (I think we're both crazy about that one) and then I have another firm that wants me to be sure and keep my computer active just in case they need me over the next few months...just for a few hours...they promise.

I'm trying to enjoy the calm before the storm!

I'm keeping busy to distract myself from missing you. I do miss you. You've not felt as close this last week, I'm not sure if it's because I've been more inwardly focused or what the deal is. But I still believe in you and I still believe this has brought me closer.
