\"IMG_2579\"<\/a>Over the past few weeks, it seems I’ve been missing in action, both online and in person.<\/p>\n

No fancy dramatic answers here, folks. \u00a0Just busy. \u00a0Very, very busy. \u00a0But I can’t complain.<\/p>\n

Work is awesome, but oh so incredibly busy. \u00a0I don’t talk about my work on my blog, but if you follow me on Twitter, you might get a peek at some of the projects that I have going on. \u00a0It has just meant a lot of extra time in the office. \u00a0Thankfully, I get those hours saved as credit hours to be used later, but then I have to find time to use those hours!<\/p>\n

When not working, I’m probably training or sleeping. \u00a0My 70.3 is getting closer and closer, and since I’m a slower athlete, my workouts take longer than they might take other people. \u00a0(Oh, how jealous I am of those people.) \u00a0Not complaining, just a fact. \u00a0And it’s more proof that I will never do a 140.6. \u00a0I seriously do not think there are enough hours in the day.<\/p>\n

Other than that, I’ve got some projects going on around the house that I’ve been working on, things that have languished a bit too long.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been trying to just chill more. \u00a0Not work on anything and just read a book. \u00a0Frequently, after I’ve gotten everything done that I need to do, the last thing I want to do is sit down at a computer, so I’m trying to take more time for just relaxation. \u00a0The cats are enjoying the extra petting, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

So I’m still here, still kicking, still doing awesome. \u00a0Just… busy. \u00a0Very very busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
