For some time now, I've been aware that I have a problem staying consistent. This affects several areas of my life and, although not causing me and my family any real degree of pain, it is making the days that go by feel less and less fulfilling. What am I lacking? What do I feel I could be doing better? Where is my time not being optimized? All of these questions (plus others) plague me from time to time. In the context of consistency, I've realized that I'm "floating" through a lot of things in my life. Again, this isn't necessarily a negative thing, but it's also not helping me obtain some goals. And, yeah, I know, this is a retrospective of the year gone by, compiled during the last few days before a new year is upon us. Cliche, but the holidays are one of my most nostalgic times...

Post-Ian, Pre-Dominican Republic
I figured I'd finally post up here to let everyone know we made it through hurricane Ian just fine. Since the storm shifted trajectory at the last minute, we dodged the majority of the winds and water. As a result, there was no damage to the house. The only mishap we had was that several trees in the preserve out back fell over in a domino effect, with the last tree landing in our back yard. Since we have nothing in the backyard, there was no damage to anything. The tree still needs to be removed, but since it originate from off-property, the CDD is expected to remove it. I reached out to them on October 9. I suspect it'll be a little bit before they can make it around. A view from the treeline. The opposite view, from the lanai. The trees covering the walkway in the preserve. Carl...
Life, Work, and Fun
So, a lot has been going on lately. I've been working a decent amount (yeah, big surprise there), but I've also been getting organized in a lot of ways on the personal front too. We went through a new logo redesign for Suncoast Studios a few months ago and recently we've printed up new business cards as a result. The next step is to do a website redesign, which is (kinda) underway right now. Actually, I'm building a development server, which is a first for SCS. Normally I make changes to the live server, but since this is going to be an entire redesign, I didn't want to potentially mess up the live box. The dev environment should be complete this week, and the goal is to have the new site live by November 1. I've also been making headway on app development. I've recently signed up to be an...
Feeling… Eh.
So, lately I've been noticing that I have very little energy. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I've been working non-stop for weeks, haven't been eating right, and my workouts aren't long enough. The workload will taper off very soon, as I'll finish Allie's project in the next few nights. As for eating, well, I need to do better on that (not today though - I just ordered some hot wings). And I intensified my workout tonight to see if that helps. I also stopped off at CVS to pick up some multi-vitamins with lots of B12 and B6 in them. I get home, walk in the door and look at the fish tank and see the two Moneywort plants I bought floating on the surface. What the fuck. These plecostomus' have to go this weekend. I went to Target for a couple...
