February
Winter is here, and plenty of snow is to be had for all. My mood is pretty light, and it is doing me good. Brainspace is clearing, talking a lot to friends and family and spending quality time with the girlfriends. Even getting myself some new clothes which are not strictly for either larp or work is quite wonderful. Took a first few steps into ( Read more... ) -
Januari
This month is clearly something I needed. It was a slow start to the year, and served as a very relaxed counterbalance to the overly full December. Lies started her new job, and so far it is looking pretty good - and I am feeling it. After a long time feeling constricted, mental space is clearing. It is almost as if I feel my brain speeding up ( Read more... ) -

Enter the fall
October flew by. Lies got a job, and managed to get a year contract with OGD, and my own talk with OGD led to a nicer paycheck. So with that behind me I've been hard at work in seeing what I can still make of this year in terms of house-stuff. And in the meantime I have been enjoying more financial breathing room ( Read more... ) -
So it goes.
Busy, busy weeks. My other collegue is departing for a new job, so I am happy for him. Does mean that I am now the lone sysadmin here at work. It all sounds horribly familiar, but I have drawn my line in the sand. I hope I don't have to defend it too long or this is one fight that I will walk away from. I choose my battles. The busy week and a ( Read more... ) -
