Very little happened yesterday as the roads were snowy and icy. Seattle doesn&#8217;t get much snow, so it&#8217;s pretty slow to react to these situations.

As it is, I&#8217;ve been pretty busy. My cast is off and I&#8217;m down to using a brace sometimes. Most things wrist related are back to normal so I&#8217;ve been resolving being stir crazy and been out again more.<\/p>\n<p>I got myself into a bit of relationship mess about a month ago and I suppose I&#8217;m still settling from that. Sitting here thinking, I probably haven&#8217;t backpeddled as much as I should and I definitely haven&#8217;t thought (written) enough in the aftermath. But the anxiety is mostly gone, I bought myself a used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/btmspox\/3091728355\/\">Bianchi Volpe<\/a>, did some &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/btmspox\/sets\/72157610901930814\/\">charity<\/a>&#8221; work and some &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.loftninjas.org\/\">work work<\/a>&#8220;. I need to do <a href=\"http:\/\/xkcd.com\/519\/\">more of the latter<\/a> I think in my off time. I&#8217;m not entirely sure when that is. I leave Sunday for the better part of a week in Maine to see the family.<\/p>\n<p>I had a bit of a conversation with Eric this morning upon getting into the office about people getting uptight and stressed out about the weather. I&#8217;m fortunate that nobody gives me a hard time if I come into the office late. Although part of that is from the type of work I do, and part is from having a boss that understands that, a lot of it is because I do work hard and do get work done.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a reminder to not let life get too complicated. I last thought about this while reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldchanging.com\/archives\/009061.html\">The Last Viridian Note<\/a>. Which is&#8230; important&#8230;. Which is why I feel at the moment I need to find some more time to not do anything. But when? Not now. Got to get some work done before vacation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter Storm 2008 here in Seattle. It started in the early morn with something called Thundersnow.
