Ever get that feeling that you’re on the treadmill of life, and it’s set just a little too high for you to be comfortable? That you’re always sliding backwards? I finally have the feeling that I’m caught up again, and it came from the weirdest place. Normally, I post pictures to my photoblog in advance, keeping me from having to scramble at night to get any image up, just to have one for the next day. I just finished uploading the picture that will post on November 13th, which is almost 6 weeks away. I realized that I can now spend the next month looking for things I want to shoot, and spend the time to get it right, and not have to scramble to get something up for awhile. (Of course, the cost of this is my stock of ‘almost’ ready pictures has been totally depleted.)

It also made me think about other things. I’m actually in a really good place in regards to my projects at work – people seem to understand what I’m working on and more importantly, think it’s worthy of time and attention. It’s always good to feel appreciated, and it is comforting to know that I’m free to work on the jetpacks and moving sidewalks for the next phase of the project.

Further down the path of feeling good about life – things with Charlotte and Qais are wonderful. I can’t imagine being happier with my home situation than I am now. I’m sure there are small things that we would all like to change – most notably Q’s sleep schedule – but honestly, I’m really happy where we are and with the direction life seems to be leading us in. In all, I’m just happy with progress. It feels like we are making some.
