Updates

Yeah, yeah... I've been slack in posting to my blog. To say that I've been busy would be a GROSS understatement!

I usually tell folks, "I'm busy, but it's all good." Truth is, it hasn't been ALL good. Dealing with the poor health of a loved one can be very taxing. Realizing that you have over-committed yourself to a worthy cause can be downright exhausting. Trying to deal with natural disasters and your own personal procrastination can be nerve racking. Doing it all while working 50+ hours a week is next to impossible. But having a supportive and loving significant other, a strong network of friends, and a great family can help pull you through.

Last week, I had my quarterly visit to my doctor to check on my health conditions. Because I'm an engineer (left-brained and all that), I have - from day 1 - kept all of my records in Excel, and give my doctor nice, colorful graphs of my daily measurements since the last visit. It was interesting to look at the results from the past quarter and see that the really bad measurements completely coincided with external influences. I've already made some changes to my schedule and commitments, so hopefully things will improve.

In the mean time, I hope to get back into blogging. Maybe I can do better!
