Busy day at work today, one of those days where time flies by virtually unnoticed. I got fed up with a project that seemed to have lost all forward momentum and so I took charge today, and I felt good about that. I think things will start moving again. After work, Kelly went to the gym…
Today is the official halfway point of Kelly’s pregnancy. Exactly 20 weeks. Assuming the baby will be around 6 pounds (96 ounces) when he’s born, he will increase in mass nearly ten-fold over the next 20 weeks, which is remarkable when you think about it. Very icy this morning. There was a layer half an…
Another long workday. My hours are going to increase for a while until we get over the hump, which will hopefully be sometime in mid-March. In the meantime, I expect longer days. More than likely I’ll start getting up earlier, working from home until Kelly is up and ready to go and then head into…
I was busy most of the day today–another cold day here in the metro DC area–and even as the day ended there was no relief in sight. I managed to talk my way into a meeting that I thought started at 2 PM, and did start at 2 PM, only in the wrong time zone. So I rushed home…
I had to work today and I was back in the office despite the fact that nearly all of America gets Martin Luther King, Jr. day off. Today was one of those focused, "programmer mode" days. I was working on data imports and worked steadily for eight hours, finally hitting a good stopping point just before…
Yup, one of those days. I was up at 6 AM, headed downstairs to feed the cats and pack my lunch. Strangely, when I was done packing my lunch, I still didn’t hear the shower going. Kelly was still asleep. I got her up and then came back down to eat breakfast. A little while later…
The holidays are over and it was back to work today. Kelly and I overslept slightly (10 or 15 minutes) but we heading into work and got started with the day. I set out 4 goals for myself to get done at work today. I got three of the four things done. The last one got a…
I was surprised how many people were actually in the office today, considering it was Friday and everyone had yesterday off. Still, it was a pretty quiet day, overall. The predicted snow never manifested. Chalk another one up to the weather department. We spent a quiet evening at home. Our stroller arrived at the concierge,…
Productive work day today. It was one of those days where I told myself that I was going to solve a particular problem before I left the office, and sure enough, shortly after lunch, I had the problem solved. I was pleased with that. I had leftovers for dinner and steamed some broccoli for Kelly to go along with…

I’ve spent hours this evening doing more research and outlining for the story–which still does not have a name. I’ve got my timeline down pretty good, and now I’m filling in details that will help the plot move along. I think I’ll be ready to actually start writing the prologue of the story tomorrow. Stressful…
Me, this morning, trying to make sense of it all. Posted via LiveJournal.app.
