Timeless...

I was laying in bed last night after I wrote my 1st post and I'll admit that I was so excited about this that I had a hard time getting to sleep, the ideas for all these posts were running rampant but I didn't want to have things pre-written. 1 of the things I find most hard about writing is coming up w/ fresh ideas, there are a lot of spurts of fresh insight but there are also a lot of dry spells.

I work shift work, 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off and to be honest, I spend half my time wondering what time and day it is. The biggest thing that makes me know when it is I'm working is the # of co-workers who are in the office w/ me, if I'm flying solo then chances are it's night or weekends.

This time yesterday I'm just getting ready for bed vs. today I've already slept all night and am now trying to re-orient to days and so far so good, I'm coffee'd and in a pretty decent mood so that's a plus, I thought waking up would be rough but w/ the a/c, slept not too badly.

I bought myself a really good day planner there back in the winter, both the calendar monthly and weekly break downs (which was damn near impossible to find) and every day now as part of my regiment, I'm going to start tallying all the things I want to do every day:

write my blog
write a page or so on my screen play
go for a walk (weather permitting)

It was pretty nice last night being able to be 3/3 and then at the end of the week, do a tally and see what I have to make up for.

So, on that note, time to get my day started, there's some dishes waiting and I don't want to spend all day being domestic.

Kari and I said I'll probably stay on shift for the 1st couple of years we have kids since it'll allow us to hopefully not have to put them in day care and keep them home w/ us and hopefully only need a sitter 1 day a week but my big question today is how long I'll be a shifter...When will we be rich and successful enough that we can both just work from home?

Oh, congrats to a lot of my friends, family, and former co-workers who are all celebrating some timeless events in their lives this year. There were a lot of babies born and made this year and a lot of people moving from the apartment life to home-owner status.
1 of the girls I used to work w/ at the Delta is taking daily pics. of her house being built and I think I'm almost as excited as they are, it's pretty cool watching it go from the ground up.
(Here's the house we're looking at building next year: )

The picture for today is our piece of land we're building on, I don't know if it's coincidence or not but it was taken a year ago yesterday.
