This morning I am checking in on 2025.
*******
January.
Okay, January was a two headed coin.
On the one side I was on month 2 of being in England and thoroughly loving my life being in England.
On the other side, however, I picked up a coughing cold/flu (I don’t know the difference anymore) that emptied the medicine cabinet of paracetamol and lozenges and took most of January to get past, which was followed by 3 weeks more to recover from two pulled sore sides.
So, boo and yay to January.
*******
February.
Without worth of a lie, I thought we had half of February to go. That was until yesterday evening when I was informed that there is a week left.
Argh!
What’s the deal?
Well, we have a website deployment tentatively scheduled for the first week of April.
Not just a few new features, this new application is going to replace an existing application that has been in use for, no kidding, 15 years.
I know, right?
15 years is downright nutty. What makes this even nuttier is that I am one who designed it 15 years ago. But, that is for another post.
Anyway, now I am very very very behind getting users up to speed about this impending work world change.
Whoops!
So, this morning I am calmly freaking out about February.
*******
With those things, I am thrilled to report that also in 2025 I am moving in April.
To recap, I am where I am because where I was had a no-fault electrical fire on March 17th 2024, which forced me out. Oh, I took the best thing I could find, but I simply do not align with this area’s politics or it’s excessive leaf blowing addictions.
So, I’ve been looking for over 6 months, and finally settled on a top floor flat, with windows and a balcony that frame the river and downtown area across the way, and has a planetary sphere direct view to the stars above.
Super cool.
In full disclosure, however, down below past the manicured green lawn looks a lot like New Jersey near Giants’ Stadium. It’s an oversized large dirt field/pseudo parking area for scattered white work vehicles and a few work trailers.
Yeah, it’s definitely a Sopranos-esque abandoned wasteland.
No matter. I’m not a big fan of looking down anyway. Both metaphorically and literally.
*******
So, that’s that … and March wasn’t even mentioned.
And with that … I’ve got to get myself out of here and back to work so I can, er, fix the glitch having to with that shhhhhhhhhhhhh thing I mentioned earlier.
Then I have a date with a jeep, some tunes, and the sunshine.
Happy Saturday.
