My apologies for not being more frequent in my posting. So many things I have missed, like New York 23, and the Governorships of both New Jersey and Virginia. I have not been on top of things, and that is only because of my extreme professional and personal busyness.

I have actually taken the past week off, PTO pr Paid Time Off as they say in my company, in an effort not to lose the time before the end of the year. I will have to take another week off around Christmas to make sure that I am under the carry-over limit.

Anyway, when I first became ill, and moved out of our foreclosed home, everything that wasn’t essential in the new home was put into storage. About 2 weeks ago, I took a Saturday and moved everything out of the storage facility and into my garage. I have spent the past week going through all of it, tossing most of it as outdated toys, non-fitting musty and moldy clothes, and just the flotsam and jetsam of a tragedy.

I made my way through about 50% of it this week, throwing out most of it. Some things were treasures and others surprises. I have saved about 20% of what has gone through my hands this week. I have found things like some of my old original Battletech miniatures, some 1st edition Warhammer 40k miniatures and my scuba diving books and mask.

Each item has brought up both good and bad memories.  Memories of good times long past, and the hurt of my illness upon myself and my family. But enough of that.

I have also caught up on many other things as well, most of them private. Some of them I may tell you about one day.

I didn’t want you to think that I have lost interest in this blog. I have not. It’s just that between my day job, my night job and my personal life, it seems that I have very little time for myself. Certainly not the time that I need to thoroughly research what I post about.

Today is chocked full of things to do, that I have not gotten done in the past four days. I’m getting a physical this morning, a movie with a friend this afternoon, and something else with another friend tonight. Tomorrow is an Uncharted Seas tournament at the Depot, and Sunday is more sorting and football. Monday is back to work and more detritus to dispose of.

See you again soon.
