Last night the temperature dipped into the forties. Further North, some people experienced their first frost. This morning it was a cold ride into town. I need to finish up the hard top for the jeep if I want to continue driving it. I even considered writing this posting from the warmth of the coffee shop but instead opted to take my usual seat outside.
B and I walked A for the first time since she had surgery. It is nice to get back to our old routine. He is pretty stressed out with homework. I need to find something fun for us to do in between wakeboarding and snowboarding.
I am starting to sacrifice family time for work. It pains me to do this but we really need the money. However, I have been taking time off to go to B's x-country meets which helps to balance my time between work and home.
Last night I went to my second drill at the cadet unit. It was uneventful and I helped out where I could. I seem to make the 1st Sgt nervous. I need to spend some time with him so he is more comfortable around me.
When I am this busy I don't seem to have time for depression or concerns about spending too much time in Clickerville. Lately I watch very little TV. D remarked yesterday that she never sees me. I reminded her that I could be sitting at home, depressed, spending all my time in Clickerville. "I need to live life" I said to her. She understands and we agreed to go kayaking this weekend.
I am so incredibly fortunate that D is so tolerant of my needs and habits. I must work more diligently to return the courtesy.

It's getting into the 40s here at night too. Chilly nights, warm days.
The flowers are starting to show the cold and we've brought some in to try to keep for winter.
You know, about a week ago, it started to get a bit chilly here in the city, but then today, it's like BAM! and it's 90 degrees again and the humidity is like at 100%. I guess summer is not quite over yet.
I can relate to your situation about sacrificing family time with work. I work about 80 hours/week, although it has slowed down a bit, but I often get depressed when I think of how much time I've lost with my baby growing up. But can we do if we need the money, right? It's a Catch 22.
