Catching... My... Breath...

I'm starting to notice an increase in pressure for the month of November, and we're only a few days into it. Work, school, cadets - I'm quickly seeing free days struck from my calendar as a plague of responsibilty and taskings take over the little blocks that represent those units of time we call a 'day'.

I find myself having to sit back and focus. I feel quite vulnerable to stress right now. Maybe it's more that I'm fearful I will drop the ball? After Remembrance Day, I'll feel better. And after this course. And the field exercise.

I'll have an intense, yet oddly relaxed time for work next week. Attending a certification course on packaging. Everything I do in the office will be taken care of - which is nice - so I get to go downtown and get fed breakfast and lunch everyday and play student. All in all, not a bad deal, but it is fourteen days of material stuffed into four. And I know I'll be exhausted after Friday. Remind me not to go to the Legion after for beverages.

Not really much else to talk about. Morgan bought some espresso when we were grocery shopping, so I've rediscovered my love of our espresso machine. And I had my first Starbucks coffee in recent memory last night. We acutally sat in for awhile. It was nice. And the coffee was amazing.

Keeping focused, keeping organized, keeping on task... so I guess I should go do that. Have a great Friday, everyone. Marc, Megs - see you at 1930h. Keg-a-rific!
