I don't know how it's possible that I got sick. No one else appears to be sick. Sure, I splashed around in icy water for hours digging trenches so that the water drains from the driveway so that the garage door can close and the kids can bike again and no one will slip and fall on the ice, but nothing that could have gotten me sick, right?
(it wasn't that bad, I just got wet boots)
We have a new addition to the family: a pick axe ⛏️. I'm calling him Mr. Pickles (yay helpful person on twitter). Super, super useful for digging trenches in the ice to get the water to drain. Much nicer for blunt force ice damage than my straight edge shovel for the short ice breaker which is designed to send shock waves directly up your wrists into your arms.
Other than that not too much new.
I'm still stressing about if I want to move on from work. It... it doesn't feel good at work. It just makes me sad. Sure, it could be we're near the end of the winter and I haven't exercised at all, but... but it's not just me. Ah well. Meeting tomorrow.

Thinking about work
Work is work. But lately it's been stressful with the feeling of making very little progress. I feel that everyone has been stretched too thin, pulled in too many directions. No one is happy and it kind of sucks. My buddy Andrew that I have worked with for like 15 years has taken a 1 year leave and gone to the private sector. Other talented people I know have as well. People keep on asking me if I will leave as well.
Will I? I don't know. I'm worried about a work life balance. I've enjoyed having a super flexibility schedule to be able to drop everything and leave if I need to do something for the kids.
I enjoy helping the people at work. I enjoy feeling like I know the answers right away. Is it a good thing to not really be challenged? My biggest challenge lately seems to be finding someone to go for coffee. Sure, there's a ton of work with impossible deadlines, but I feel impossible deadlines are a failure of project management not my work. Deadlines and goals are supposed to be attainable.
Honestly the best thing about work is the people. I really like the people that are there and if I move on, that would be a hard thing to leave.
This is going to take up a lot of my brain space in the next while I think.
