Spring!

I'm lame and haven't gone out and taken pictures of the beautiful flowering trees near my apartment (and I unfortunately can't capture the smell), so here's a picture of flowering cherry trees from last year in Chemainus, British Columbia. I also posted another picture of a private garden.

I've not been writing much here this month, and hardly posting any photographs at all. There are a few reasons for that, but mostly it's because all of my brain has gone into writing strategy documents for work, and the bit of free time I've had had gone into re-establishing a reading habit and playing some video games. I also let my schedule get a bit out of control, which made for some late nights and then cramped days. Last weekend, I ended up not having the energy to do much of anything, which didn't help.

I think I'm now starting to pull out of that. I've gotten to bed at midnight the last couple of nights and at reasonably good times most of this week. I've been waking up around 9:00 or 9:30, which means I'm recovering from a sleep deficit, but which is in the right ballpark. Now I just need to stick with that schedule and get used to it, and then I should have more control over my schedule.

The tricky part will be some early Saturday morning AFS work for the next few weeks, but I can normally work around that.

This weekend, I have to do taxes, but hopefully I can get that over with on Saturday and still get a few other things done. Sunday is tentatively reserved for playing video games at the moment.

Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, I'll be able to catch up on pending software releases soon.
