I wish I had a more time to post something to the blog but I haven’t and again and I think it’s the to diffusion of attention from many different things. Things that I should be paying attention to, family and things like that, and things that I shouldn’t pay so much attention to * Ahem* Internet *Ahem*.

And so I am about halfway through the year. Last term I was stressed about teaching and doing everything. I don’t think my class turned out as good as it could of. This term I’m teaching a class, but this time I don’t feel stressed about it. Possibly because I have taught this a lot before.

What I’m really focusing on now is balance. Not worrying about getting everything administratively because it will get done. Focusing on being at home when I am at home (keeping my head from drifting to work issues) On the weekend I’m not going to check email that might be work email, just doesn’t get checked and that is ok.

We also have a kid sick at home, like Arden is tonight, it is keeping us awake a little and bites into your available time don’t you know.

I have been wishing I had a little time to do with the fun things that I want work on. But I guess I got to do the unfun things first, like the administrative emails and such before I get to do fun stuff like design things and making things.

Speaking of making things, having a a 3d printer at home has been really interesting for a person that makes digital designs. I’ll try out an idea for something on the computer, and then get printing on the 3d printer and see how it works. It is really something to see, watching that object being built up layer by layer. The only problem is that I have a misprint ever 3rd time still. Being a kit I made myself and comparing the cost to other 3d printers I can’t complain.
