The fact that we are jumping into May seems unfathomable to me. January was two minutes ago. I started a new job, everything was new, and there was so much to do. There’s still so much to do–that hasn’t changed. Progress is being made on all fronts. I can see that, but it’s never enough. Two steps forward, three steps back, falling backwards, getting up again, sprinting to catch up, and repeat. It might sound like I’m tried of it. Right now, yes–but it’s late. Ask me again tomorrow and I’ll probably be too busy doing work.
