I feel like time is flying by but that some sort of finish line is just around the corner. It's not the finish, of course... it's just a pit stop somewhere. I know it's coming. Happily I've been eating really well and focusing on what I'm eating. Maybe obsessing a bit about it actually. With few exceptions, I've been eating a mostly raw diet. I've discovered I really do have an easier time with a bit of cooked food here or there. Today I had a handful of really delicious grilled shrimp (grilled in lemon juice and garlic) with my big fat salad. I am completely off of all caffeine which feels so very good and, with one exception, dessert has consisted of blueberries, strawberrys and a banana covered with nut granola and coconut flakes.

I finished my long trip to Seattle for the conference. I'm starting to get the groove of my job now and feeling much more stable in ability to do it well. I'm crazy busy at work but unlike my most recent jobs, or, really any of my jobs that included project deliverables, when I'm done with work, I'm actually done with work. It's sorta cool and something I demanded of myself but something to work on as well for me.

I asked The Kids what they wanted to give TWBD for Valentine's Day. They wanted to get him a skateboard and they had apparently listened really well to his interaction with a guy at a shop the other day. We got him the whole shebang and it was the first time in the 15 or so years I've known TWBD *really* like a gift. It was nice to give.
