Well, Taryn is back in South Africa for a month and I’m on my own again.  I am not a fan of this, but I can’t help but be happy for her to be with her Dad and Gran.  I know how much it means to her, and that makes me happy.  Then again, she’s not here to share things with, or joke with, or just sleep next to her.  Missing her makes me sad, but I’ll live.  Lucky for me, there is a ton of work on deck, so I’m going to keep super busy.  Lots of consulting, photography, and house work will get done during this month.  At least that’s the plan.

Lots has been going on in the past few weeks, including my departure from a full-time position with my last employer. I’m now doing some pharma consulting on the side as I continue to build my photography client base. We’re also preparing for Taryn’s trip back to South Africa for a few weeks, which leaves me home alone for a while. I don’t like it, but I’m treating it as a working vacation. Lots of projects to work on, so I’m hoping to impress her with my productivity when she returns. And it’s birthday season too: Dad turned 69 yesterday, Taryn’s Gran turns 80 next month, and I’ll be 40 in May. That wheel keeps on turnin’.
