Recently my four year old talked my wife into going on a scary ride at Disneyland. My wife didn't want to go but i sure wasn't going so off she went, dragged by an excited kid with no fear. When they emerged 45 minutes later, my son was grinning from ear to ear and my wife had a grimace on her face. My son related that my wife spent much of the ride with her hands over her eyes and when they neared the end she wailed, "Is it over yet!?"
That was this week for me. Trying to finish several projects for both school and work, all in time to leave town on Friday night for a trio that never materialized and then the anguish for my dear wife of having to put her mother in a home this Thursday on what may be the long slide towards her final days on this earth. This week left me half dead on the ground bleeding out of my ears.
Nothing is left but to just get up and do it all over again. Just like in business, you;re only defeated if you just lay there. So Monday is another day, and thankfully just a three day work week and I may actually get to do some hunting this weekend. We'll see.
