Yikes. A Whole Month.

I hate for a blog to me the proverbial monkey on my back, because then it sorta defeats the purpose. But it kinda got that way. It's a guilt thing. I drive around and think of things to write, but think, "Sheesh. It's been so long since I've written anything, why bother?"

Then later, I'll admonish myself for the self-defeating banter from earlier. This goes in circles.

So to beat the voices in my head, I find myself here typing.

So - I did obtain my CCNA cert. I'm happy about that.

Work has been busier than shit, which is good and bad.

The weather's starting to improve here in the northwest, and it's starting to stay light into the 6 o'clock hour.

I haven't been playing enough music lately - not by my own choice. It's really bumming me out though, as it's really my primary mental catharsis.

My four-year-old is learning to read, and it's really exciting. Her desire to learn is crazy. I come in the door from work and the FIRST thing out of her mouth is, "I want to play the word game, daddy!" Word game is what she calls sitting down with me and having me write out words for her to practice reading. Tonight I changed it up though and had her write the words I said to her. Dr. Seuss type words: pop, mop, hop, fox, dad, mom, dog, cat, etc... she's getting good though.

That's all. Over the hump. Back on the horse. Sent the monkey packing.
