Yeah it was ROUGH, at least one of the tests anyway. I wish I would have had more time to study for the World Civ test, I didn't put much into it. But at least it is over now, and I can move on to the work.
I'm also hitting the gym 5 days a week now, and watching my eating strictly. I was starting to get pretty damn fat... still am... and it was just adding to my depression. So I decided to use that old therapy that got me through the Iraq cruise... working out.
I'm feeling a lot better now, much more healthy and a bit more upbeat. I think that this new attitude will help me get through this backlog and back to a more sane life. Once I have that achieved, I will be able to at least do a few small projects. I know that I plan on doing this on a smaller level from now on, not let it get too big for me to handle anymore.
I am looking at October for everything to be normalized in my life again. Hopefully my Wife and I will at that point have a baby on the way... I will be done with my backlog, and back down to 175 lbs... It's a good plan, and having that goal in sight has really helped keep me afloat these past few weeks. I'm hoping that it will give me back my drive and my spirit.
