Vaca Part II

Today I am meeting a friend for coffee. He is recently married with a new child and reminds me of myself when I was in my twenties. A few years back I got him out of the trades and into IT support. Unfortunately, he has not progressed any further than help desk support. It will be difficult to support a family on what he makes. I have tried to coach him career-wise over the years, but he is not real motivated.

We leave for vacation part II tomorrow. The boat is done and I am excited to get out wakeboarding

Yesterday I took J to Concord for his DMV hearing. The prosecutor recommended a 3 to 4 years loss of license with an additional two years suspended with good behavior. However, the Hearing Officer deferred his decision and we will not know the results for 10 – 15 days.

Emotionally, I am feeling a little better today. I have not taken any meds but I am excited about heading up to the lake. J is only staying with us Saturday and Sunday so things should be calm from Monday on.

I went from office management to IT support. Interesting field and now it seems I am finally adding other things to my resume.

I hope you have a good time wakeboarding.

You can't "fix" someone who doesn't want to "fix" themselves.

I hope you're enjoying your vacation! Hopefully it will help to lift up your spirits.
