Sweltering Celt

A lot is going on all of a sudden.

My new term in school started yesterday, and as a result I am already cowering under the insane pressures of a senior year in college.  I am better prepared, however, to pay the attention to this blog that I want to this year.  My priorities have shifted somewhat, and while I may not be writing every single day I am writing again.  I have realized that in order to be fair and true to myself I cannot allow myself to be swamped by schoolwork without any other outlet, particularly a creative outlet.  I struggle sometimes to decide what to write about, but I’m working on that too – I’ve taken to carrying around a small notebook and when a topic strikes me, I can jot it down for later recollection.

Doc recently was given a promotion, and he starts his new job on Monday.  This is both a blessing and a curse.  While the whole family will benefit from the increase in pay, along with it comes an increase in responsibilities and hours at work.  Doc’s free time will decrease significantly, and combined with  my reduced free time as a college senior with a senior project we are both concerned about getting any time together, much less enough time together.  I will see him today, since we’re donating blood, but I fear that the time hanging out in the Red Cross center will be the only time I get with him this week.  We’re hoping for a little bit more than just that today, but we never know what we’ll actually get.

Finally, the blog is getting closer to its fifth anniversary and a contest and complete redesign is in the works.  I look forward to showing you all what is going on behind the scenes, and especially I look forward to being able to celebrate five years of baring my soul publicly.  It’s been a great run, and one that I hope doesn’t end anytime soon.  Keep your eyes peeled for a contest to be announced in the next few weeks – the winner, announced on the anniversary November 4th, will win a nice little package that I am currently trying to round up prizes for.  That, and the redesign, is taking a lot of my time as well.

Between two major changes, it can be frustrating trying to find time as a family and separately.  All I can hope for right now is that we navigate them as seamlessly as possible and adapt quickly.  This is just another of many trials for our little family.  We will prevail.  We always do.  It just sucks in the meantime.
