In a week where I have essentially worked 10 and 11 hour days each day, I have mostly been in a daze the whole week. When I get home, my brain is already used up from staring at code for far too long, and I haven’t been able to much other than sit on the couch and zone out. All sorts of things have happened around me, but I’ve been too numb to react. The whole week seems like one long smudge on my calendar.

Well, the time for that has come and gone. I can’t afford to sit on the couch and let the television suck my brain out one more day. It’s time to address the world that’s proceeded without me. There is a house to be cleaned. There is a trail waiting to be run on again. A yard to be landscaped. Plans to be made for upcoming events. Business to be taken care of. A wife’s feet to be swept off the ground.

The time for slumber has come and gone. The morning has come and there is work to do.
