Tired, like whoa.

We have a rental inspection in the morning and I'm feeling less motivated than I really should to ensure everything is ship shape. We're not really sure what the owners immediate intentions are for the future. A month ago they had the house valued, and now that our contract has expired we're not sure what's going to happen. They rang last week...

Today has been great. Got lots of work done, and I just received a call from the cattle stud clients - They're wrapped with the site proposal. They think it's fantastic. What's even better is that she is gripped by Laryngitis and can hardly speak, and yet she still felt the need to call and tell me personally. I like validation

The eldest boy had...

Sunday night - I've just emailed off a proof of concept design for a cattle stud website. Hopefully the client gets back to me early tomorrow with few changes being needed. The site needs to be live by very early in November which doesn't leave me much time to share between all the other sites I'm working on. I swear this business is feast or...

I'm such a mess. Sometimes something just comes out of nowhere and catches you completely unaware. Fucking Kryptonite. Superficial perfection and a handful of the right words. Fuck :/

I'm getting used to things not going as planned.

I'd wanted, and planned, to have yesterday and today as study days. I made a point of going to bed early the night before to ensure some extra rest. What I didn't count on was our 18 month old sleeping right through the night. He's being night weened at the moment so the early mornings have...

Today felt epic, for none of the right reasons. Distraction, procrastination, indecision, and a myriad of external emotions from the other members of my household help fuel a less than satisfying day.

My highlights were:
- Bacon for brunch
- Making a reasonable dent in the ADC presentation
- Seeing an episode of King of The Hill that I'd never seen before.
- Taking a...

Today did not go as planned. I'd expected to get a metric fuck-tonne of work done today. Instead, I achieved very little. It was a very lazy day, which could be argued is something I've needed for a while now.

After a night on the booze and being a social drunkard in Facebook I finally went to bed around 3AM. My eldest son came into...

After a stressful, and somewhat overwhelming, week I decided to chill the fuck out and kick back tonight with some music videos and whisky. It's very much what the doctor ordered.

Today I found myself on the brink of an epic meltdown. I had another job come in which could be quite a lucrative, and time consuming, project. I should be happy. The problem is...

Lovely. Just watched two men get suited up in hazmat gear in front of our house just after midnight. It turns out our neighbours had a meth lab set up. They're both currently in custody.

It's just after one and it sounds like they're tearing the walls apart. My kids room is maybe 8' from where all the noise is. Thankfully he hasn't been woken...

For a while there I thought I might actually update everyday. As it turns out, I took a few days off from social networking and the world is still spinning correctly on its axis. That takes the pressure off a little.

The weekend was pretty good. Did some stuff around the house on Saturday, then played trains with the boys in the afternoon up until...

It's Friday night and I'm done. It's been a long couple of days and I feel a little burnt out. That being said, I feel really happy with how much work I go done on the BAA project this week. Go me. Mentally, I'm torched. I'm most certainly done for the night. It's just turned midnight and my motivation is tapped. Hopefully sleep will come...
