but I have noticed trends in the LBS's too ... some of us really needed this to become better. ...My priorities were jacked, now .. I shake my head at all the wasted time I spent on things that just never really mattered
Be careful not to think you have it ALL figured out - you'll stop being a learner
That's an amazing insight Cali. You have a good eye

Kidding me? I have figured out how to crack this MLC thing long ago I am just holding out to the highest bidder to make some serious cash ....lol
Naaa funny thing is, I was thinking about it last night after leaving church, I am not sure that after all the changes I've made/am making that it is going to leave room for just arriving at idle .... not sure if I am making sense but part of the change I have made is to consistently strive to improve, I have some simple small goals .. and some larger ones up ahead that I can not quite pull off now, but they are "on my board" .... this has transcended into my work environment as well. Daily I ask myself .. how can I improve today ... maybe its just cleaning out the car, my desk, something simple to be more organized ... maybe its bigger (Currently I have some guys taking an hour a day and we are completely purging/organizing a stock room that has been ignored for the past 4 years). I am almost completed with the church class on Wednesdays, the move will be done in about 2 weeks, I will be near the beach for the summer so I am planning on taking S for bike rides as I jog ... looking to lose those pesky last 5-8 lbs that are clinging onto my ribs like a 4 year old to his mom in a dressing room.
Last night I get S, notice .. crud .. W has all his baseball gear, well no practice for us, we went to my place and spent time watching one of the shows we are into ... little bonus hour. I let W know ... she TM back later telling me traffic was bad and she would meet us at church. She arrives at church and gets out, asks if there was a restroom she could use, I show her the way. Was strange ... for a second it felt like a family, she and S use the facilities and she tells me to enjoy the class .. I walk her and S to the car ... off they go. This morning W TM asking if I have S's vest, I told her I just did all my laundry and do not have it ... she then tells me she found a stash of chocolate next to his toilet, jokes a bit about it ... I joke back telling her that S gets that from "Momma Mouse" (One of the pet names I called her was mouse, she would always sneak nibbles from my food like I would not notice) she replied back joking a bit and I let it go. Was more of a temp check from me to see what she would do when I pulled out a pet name on her, I have not done that for almost 2 years now. Part of me wonders if she is trying to connect a touch, but the other part thinks she is getting what she thinks she wants so she is not on edge. Regardless ... these things are just observations, thankfully I am not moved one way nor the other ... I am pretty focused on the move and these 2 weeks are going to go by very fast. This weekend I am going through the container and will slowly start moving non essential items into the shop as a holding station ... should make the move day somewhat easier. Take S Sunday and shop for our dinning room table ... actually have been looking forward to getting our place set up.
