Day in review May 26, 2015
I came to work today feeling the psychlogical weight of all the work I had to do. I had a list (overly ambitious) of a few that I wanted ot knock off over the weekend. I figured that a weekend at my mom’s house would have enough down time. If not that, then the holiday would give me the room I needed. But it didn’t. I was tired the whole weekend.

I have my goals laid out for this year and once the review is done, then they will be solid. At that point I can start blocking out my time in terms of what I need to get done in a given month.…

I…
