A week full of happenings

It's been a long week and a half. Last week went by quickly, but I was half sick all week and just felt drained. I've been dealing with a slight bit of depression from daylight savings time - it's always difficult to have to drive home in the dark every night. Somehow walking out the door to darkness makes me feel tired as if I've pulled a really long day and am just getting off at 11:00 or something. I got some excellent news on Friday morning, but can't share the details of it just yet. Hopefully if things work out well I'll have some great news to share within a week. Friday was a long day given that I had a meeting in the morning, then after work had to come home and pack for my business trip over the weekend. I really wish that I could have more freetime of late. I've been so busy running around dealing with things, and being sick that I have not had as much time as I would like to myself, or to devote to my hobbies - photography in particular.

On Saturday I headed over to Eastern Washington to see my family, and be ready for a business meeting I had in Walla Walla on Monday. It was good to see my family and to catch up on what's been going on in Walla Walla. I also got to hang out with my good friend Tye and catch up on what has been going on in his life. We spent an evening playing with Photoshop CS and were both quite impressed with the new features that they have introduced.

Come Monday I woke up early and had a nice breakfast with my Mom and Merchants before my meeting. The meeting was fairly short, but it was a positive meeting and left me in a good mood for my long drive back. I managed to make it in pretty much one long haul and made it back to Seattle in time to get in most of the afternoon dealing with my e-mail from the weekend. The pass was very clear, and traffic was great given that it was a Monday morning headed West.

Tuesday was a bit of a wash for me. I have not been feeling too well and I was completely drained from my weekend. I ended up going home early and spent most of my day asleep. Today is a much better day health wise, but is being stressfull in other areas. I got a call from my parents this morning - my Grandma is very sick again and got taken to the hospital for heart problems this morning. We don't know much about what is happening, but my parents are both driving up to Canada to be with them. As soon as they get there hopefully I will have some more information about exactingly what is going on. More to come on this as information comes in.
