Wow, look at that thing spin...

In theory, the earth revolves on it's axis once every 24 hours. I'm not so sure. Perhaps, it's a super hero flying around the earth to speed up time, perhaps it's some sort of terrorist plot that causes our clocks to creep ever faster, I'd even be willing to consider that Al Gore is conspiring with said terrorist so he could finally support his climate change nonsense. [side note: feel free to post your favorite Al Gore jokes in the comments section. I can't get enough of them.]

Point is, seems like time is just trickling away. We all have so much to do in so little time. "Time management" tend to become "free-time allocation" "OK, so why is Tony feeding me this crap?"

Simple. Our family has had an amazing weekend. First, We have scheduled surgery to remove the legion for 2/19/2010. How 'bout that? Second, and also huge, I just accepted a job(BRG Inc. Bloomington, IN) that will start on 1/4/2010. OK now, things are looking up, huh.

So, that being said, the two biggest unknowns in our life, just became known. But for whatever reason, all of these other questions seem to pop out of the wood-work. How long should I commute to B-town? Where will we live down there? Will we Rent/Buy?
Schools? Network of friends/fam.? How about the strain of 2+ hrs on the road leaving Amanda to handle Ella by herself? When you look at these things, they all pale in comparison to what we've been through. But, we've got new challenges ahead now.

This initial period of commuting while we live, and Amanda works, in Indy will be tough but, I could emerge on the other side of this next hospital stay, as the bright, intelligent man that Amanda now wishes she'd married. I keep running into Ps. 18 type of verses. (my rock, my shield, my protector, scatters my enemies type of stuff.) So I guess I sayin', even though we worry, and life is still well outside the range of "normal", it is certainly looking up and we know we'll be fine.

And now to complete the circle, yet another prayer request, STRENGTH & CLARITY.
Amanda and I are going into a whirlwind of craziness, getting the house ready to sell, preparing for the next Clev. run, looking into homes, schools, etc. and still having the regular responsibility at home. I have a tendency to "hit a wall" and crash and that doesn't help Amanda at all. We need to not manage, but multiply our time. So, Strength, & Clarity, to know what is important & when, and have the strength and energy to accomplish it while still having time as a family.

There you go, another post that was suppose to be about 1.5 paragraphs. sorry.

Happy Christmas,
Tony
