What is it with fall coronation that always seems to cause distress and angst. I guess the start of hurricane season is firstly. But on a more personal note it always seems that either I am fedex-ing stuff at the last minute, if I’m not going, or yucky things are happening to people I care about. Fortunately it seems that the only problems are my own lack of planning and not the hospitalization of one or more of my friends. (No lie last 2 times I went to this event I had to visit someone in the hospital or someone who had just gotten out. Hugs and health to both of you.) But as much as I want to see everyone I am glad to have a 3 day weekend to mostly relaxed and collect my thoughts for the upcoming season.
I want to start fencing again. So this weekend I am going to layout a drill workout to get my arm and my speed back. Fortunately I have above average speed such that I can impress a lot of people when I’m out of practice. (If my 2 favorite dons are reading this, yes I know neither of you are these people. You know too much.) Maybe I’ll drill in the driveway and spook the neighbors, always a fun hobby.
The rest of life is going rather well. As of next Wednesday I will have officially been at the ‘new’ job 6 months. They seem to be happy enough with my. And I am slowly increasing my ability to concentrate. It was getting kinda ugly for awhile, I think I had lazy brain syndrome or something.
In other news Steve was promoted to Captain this morning. So a nice rank boost at work, and a equally nice raise to boot. He is schedule to go to intelligence school in February, and until then will be on the job training with the guys at headquarters, or something like that.
work,
