I’ve been a bit slack updating the site for a few days, but not for lack of wanting. I’ve just been really busy with work and trying to get over a lack of sleep last week (average 4 hours/night for most of the week). The house is a mess, the lawns need mowing, the boat is still on the trailer in the back yard from the weekend and the car is still full of sailing gear. I have a few things I’ve been wanting to get off my chest, so hopefully I’ll be able to do so before the weekend.
Apart from the usual busy-ness at work, I’ve had to spend quite a bit of time this week urgently dealing with an application to extend my US work visa. I had to send 14 pages explaining why I’m indespensible to the US economy to my immigration attorney so they could prepare the petition. I should hear by the end of the month whether that’s been successful.
Despite all of that, I did manage to get out and do another run – the first time in a week and a half, and the first time in 3 weeks that I’ve managed a full 6 miles. I was a few minutes off my best time, but I was glad just to make it round the course after struggling so much last time.
Tomorrow I’m heading off to Camp Harvest in Michigan with the singles from Harvest Rolling Meadows to do some fall maintenance. Looking forward to catching up with a number of people.
