35 days and nights

By the end of this week, I will have worked 35 days and nights without a day off. Probably a third of those days have seen me working until 2 and 3 in the morning. And, no, I'm not building an ark. Rather, I'm helping launch a new initiative at Binary Pulse (get it, ark...launch?). And while the work is grueling, it is a labor of love.

However, I am looking forward to this coming weekend like the desert to rain. The thought of NOT working a weekend actually seems alien to me now. To just lay back and read all weekend or actually interact for extended periods of time with my ladies will be so welcome.

Aside from mowing the lawn yesterday, I sat at my computer all weekend yet again, watching the days break and nights fall with time-lapse celerity. I'm sure I look like Boo Radley staring out at the street from the office window...all pale and sunken-eyed in the milky glow of the iMac. At least the work I'm doing can be done from home. Always nice.

I managed to allow myself to finish the last 20 pages of The Dreaming Void on Saturday morning. Awesome book. I found myself consciously delaying finishing it while I await the arrival of the second book in the trilogy from the Science Fiction Book Club. Hopefully The Temporal Void arrives in the next day or two, because I'm already starting the Jonesin' shakes.

So, off to bed I go. Just trying to keep this reignited blogging push fueled.
