Information Technology?

Apparently it only took me three days to putter out of writing on the new blog.

I simply don't write if I have nothing to say. Some people should expand on that motto.

In job-ly news: we're implementing the new computer system this weekend. Friday and Saturday. They better be done by Sunday because I have plans to hike Rip Rap Hollow with a friend coming in from out of town. I sure do hope they're done on Saturday.

I cannot wait for IT to be less of my life.

Lots to do at work. Being gone at a conference for a week did not help my workload, no matter how much prepping I did. I feel behind.

It'll get better.

It's a (little) miracle!

Yesterday, for the first time in too long, I did a real, honest to goodness lunge. Yes, I'm talking about the workout move that is the bane of most everyone's existence. For the past couple of years it has been the bane of my left knee. After last summer's muscle-sciatic attack and corresponding physical therapy, I couldn't do much more than a 2 inch range of motion in my lunges on either leg because of my left knee. Well, I have broken through the wall. It may have taken months longer than my PT thought to strengthen my knee appropriately to accommodate a wider range of motion (before PT I didn't have access to the last 10% in the range of motion of my knee; I was unable to fully straighten my leg) but I have done it!

It's the little things in life really bring out the true joy in people. It's also the little things that remind us how thankful we should be that we can walk, talk, move on our own, etc. I'm going to try harder to find more little things to be thankful for and focus on them being little miracles. It may have taken almost a week, but I finally know what I should be focusing on this Lenten season.

Score one for the miracles.

Being a young "Millenial"

If only our legislators could admit that they do not know what it's like being young in America right now.

A Door Closes, A Window Opens

You know that old saying: when one door closes a window opens.

That's the new life beginning I'm working with.

Did not get into grad school. Applying to new jobs.

My life will go on and it'll be new and radically different (while also being strangely familiar).

Happy Daylight Savings Time. It's as good a time as any to start a new blog.

So out with the old and in with the new.

I'm working on finding my window.
