Progress

Well, I had decided there's something to this mix n match approach of other bloggers - it's MUCH easier. No separating subjects (much like life). So I was going to blog about something that caught my interest lately (a TED Talk), but when I looked at the blog, I realized that I have left it in a very sorry state indeed. Blogger's default template "Simple" is a good starting point, but in no way is the representation I want presented to the world. So while the brain-feed of TED inspires and moves me, and that's what I want to write about, I am reminded that there are some other things that need to get done too. My days the last several months are hogged up by working 9 hour shifts, and while the commute is short (15 min), everything else is crammed into the 5 or 6 hours I give myself for husband, kids, cleaning, and the whole of my life. It's not nearly enough, and while I'm maybe more fortunate than most (between me and part-time DH we're doing ok), I am not used to the demanding schedule. It's all a balancing act, and frankly designing has fallen much further down the priority list. It's disappointing, but necessary for now. How many others out there face the same or worse challenges, but now I can definitely Appreciate it. So TTFN, maybe next time we visit there'll be something nicer to look at...
