Back in the Saddle

I am now "Back To Work."

I am ambivalent about it.

Tuesday,  I wrote a 12 page report about our work in Colombia.  Every time I looked up, several hours had passed.

Now that hasn't happened in a long time.  To be so engrossed that time literally flies.
.
That is the good part of working again.  It is fun to be part of something exciting.  And to feel useful once again.

I like that!

However, my idyllic life style has taken a big hit.

No more time for leisurely breakfasts with friends.  Followed by a couple of hours at the spa and gym.  Moseying on to lunch followed by a nap.  Then some guitar practice.  And a heavy evening of TV or movies.

No more.

I do feel the loss.  I don't suppose there is any balance between the two readily available.

I am scheduled to back in Colombia in 10 days for 2 weeks.  I have to admit that being away from home for more than a week is not my cup of tea.

The work is stimulating.  We are at that place it creating a business that is intoxicating.  Full of energy and hopefulness.  Plus, I work with some pretty awesome people.  That always helps.

I sure hope we make some money!

Back to work...
