Recess finally!!!

Life sure gets hectic at times, to the extent that important things get shelved and just maybe the urgent can be given their due attention. The thanksgiving weekend just drained me dry, every ounce of energy spent by Sunday, contrary to my expectations. I was hoping for a quiet holiday for me and my family but then ended up running from one party to the next...in between doing my best at entertaining friends who were coming over to visit with us. All the work I was hoping to get done was still left pending and I am just getting to settle down now. Anyway, I have no regrets...a man deserves to indulge himself every once in a while, and I am no exception. I am glad though that I seem to be getting things under control and at least one of my grant applications has come back positive. I hope the rest get approved, I can do with some more money to get my project to work, and I need my trip to California funded too. In the mean time there are tons to do and I sure hope I can get my house in order. It's nice to think that the year is coming to an end and though I haven't achieved everything I had hoped for, (and likely will not) I am glad that I have a few things sorted and some positives to end the year on a good note. I can't wait to start on a clean slate soon...there is nothing as great as getting another chance!
