So I seem to be in a bit of a funk lately. It seems to be happening with some frequency, and I don't like it. The gist of it is that I feel kind of stuck, and stuck in a place that I'm just not really thrilled with. A big part of it is career and gender identity related, but some of it is family too.

So Ceri is finally home from Saudi. That was an interesting week - she was there for work, leaving me as single dad for a week.
