Work.

My boss was fired a couple of weeks ago. Since I generally work alone, that hasn't been a big impact on my work. But I set up a meeting with the VP and Director of the Sales department, and we had a heart-to-heart about my role/job at my company. They agree that what I am currently doing is not the best use of my time or skills, and that the company is moving in a new direction. We came up with some plans for how better to make use of me and my talents, and I'm pretty excited with the changes. Probably next month, I'm guessing.

Personal.

I'm all out of spoons. While I don't have a disability or disease, I am fully depleted on the social and ego level. Not sure how to refresh these things, since I have always been a social butterfly. My wife went out of town last weekend, so I went for a long motorcycle ride one afternoon (331 miles). But then she decided to come back early, so I had to turn around and come back, too. She's gone again this weekend, and I think I'm just going to stay home and work on the motorcycle's compression problem. See if I can make progress with that. And maybe recharge my spoon drawer.

Diet.

Last weekend I went way off the rails on my Keto-friendly eating plan, and ate ALL THE SUGAR AND CARBS. And I am pretty damn sure that is why I am useless this week... too laden with garbage food... so I got back on the fresh food wagon yesterday, and am going to continue through this week to get myself back on track. (I expect this will also help my limited-spoons problem, as well.)
