A third of the way through. I think previously I might have done quarterly checkpoint, but, for this year, thirds seemed appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, it’s flown by. A lot of it has been due to various medical things, but I’ve also been busier working than I have in an awful long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really can’t, however, still find a time to really get away and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today’s thing was similar to what I had Saturday, but with less time to reflect on it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think, at one time, I would have been more annoyed that I really don’t have a chance to enjoy the fruits of my success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, I really wonder how much time I’d take patting myself on the back for the successes; I’d just do what I normally do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of what I was listening to either today or yesterday was a discussion of delayed gratification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what of when you’ve become so adept at delay that there ultimately isn’t any gratification?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could say something about the futility of the ritualistic habits, but I’m not sure what to say. I just do what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And maybe I’ll always be that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After I finish what I have to do tonight, I should be off for four days without any work to do. Can I figure out how to enjoy that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*looks at the news*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, nothing worth really talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Look at what I wrote one year ago<\/em>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was waiting to meet with a doctor. Go figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Let’s look at five years ago<\/em>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n I actually am not seeing anything for 11\/10\/2016. Interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even more interesting? I probably won’t leave the house, now, until the day after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am okay with this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A third of the way through.
