Last week in my blog I mentioned how calm I have been on this new client project. I had attributed it to emotional growth, but then those voices I have in my head started again to tell me I am not clever enough, educated enough, young enough.......just not enough. Those voices reminded me that I …

One
I have only one more day on my current project and I am so glad it is almost over but it makes me sad that we did not finish developing the entire solution. I loved the work, I enjoyed working with my client as I appreciate that he is as passionate as I am about …
Relatable
This has been such a stressful week at work. Usually when a Data Quality system is being developed a client will hire both myself and a developer to design and build the system and reports. My current contract obligation was primarily to document the metadata for a new data lake analysis environment being built and …
Enough is Enough
My work week started pretty much on the same note as it ended on last week. My PC was still with the technician when I got in on Monday morning and finally at midday my client said I may as well go home. On my way I popped in to the shop and got steaks …
A Smile A Day
Every day we see some new bit of progress with Panda's development. If you compare his progress from my last blog to this one it is amazing! I usually write a few notes each day in my blog and then connect the dots and tie it all together when I'm ready to post but I …
Patience and Protection
Since Panda became ill the scope of our lives has become quite narrow. Panda is at the center of everything we do and so we spend most of our time at home. Yesterday we broke out of that pattern for a bit. In the morning Norm got up to let Navajo and Pixie out for …
Conspiracies and Spirits

They touched on Flat Earthers and the people who are convinced the Moon Landing was faked. Then the conversation drifted over to the …
Hope and Comfort
After I posted my last blog about my friend Jay who passed away, my friend Chris messaged me to say he had also experienced the same light show I had written about! Chris was also at school with us and he said that Jay had sent him this image as a GIF: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzINXMeJV7i/ However IG …
Rain Angels
We have had quite a bit of rain this week. It rained lots on both Tuesday and Wednesday. My rain fairies were looking out for me. When I left home on Tuesday it was raining quite a bit and it was really dark so I struggled to see to navigate on my drive in. When …
Fire and Rock
In a recent blog I mentioned the two old farts who sit near me at my current client who were reminiscing over 'the good old days' and now I am starting to be aware of all of their ridiculous conversations. It doesn't help that Old Fart #1 has a voice identical to Kermit the Frog. …
