This was a long, dragging week, but I’m also somehow struggling to remember much of anything specific. sigh

I had kinda lost track of how load-bearing my typical Sunday afternoon at the local is — I do a good chunk of “weekly review” type stuff, cleaning out my email inbox, closing down open tabs, reviewing stuff in OmniFocus, etc etc. This Sunday I blew that off to meet up with a HS buddy and his family up in Portland, and holy crap I was just totally off-kilter in my personal life for a solid chunk of the week. Lesson learned, I guess…

Another week of fingers-crossed hoping for no production outages, along with a few new work project aimed at making the environment more resilient (and no, of course we’re not pausing anything we were already doing, don’t be silly…)

As I mentioned in last week’s note, I got paged out on the evening of the 4th and ended up staying up until around 4am Sunday morning. The whole rest of the working week pretty much felt like recovering from the hangover of that production incident. I think we’ve got things into a better place, but a whole lot of the week was just periodically watching logs and holding my breath waiting for things to fall apart again.

Thursday we got up kinda early and took Mx19 up to the airport so they could fly back to school in New York. They’re still on crutches, and their suitcase weighed in at 47 pounds, and to say TheWife and I were a little apprehensive about them doing this by themselves would be a colossal understatement — but in the end, they got back to their dorm without incident (or, at least, without any incidents they wanted to share with us…) So now we’re back to just me, TheWife, Ms23, and of course, Sammy. So it goes.
