Episode 18 – On the Plateau

by The Shrinking Man April 20, 2011 Check In

Another week of speaking from the plateau. It has been a frustrating time, but I believe that I will be able to endeavor through. I just don’t know how long it might take. Other than being stuck, things seem to be going rather well, but it is hard to take joy in it when my […]

Episode 17 – Take Your Time

by The Shrinking Man April 13, 2011 Check In

This last week wasn’t bad… it just seemed like nothing quite worked out the way I expected. Yes, that’s the way things usually work out in the world, it’s just that this week there seemed to be more of it than usual. I survived, and I live to podcast another day. And of course, no […]

Another week has gone by, and it is time for another check in. I’ve spent the last week getting things done and out of the way. I’m still not caught up, but I’ve managed to get some long-standing things off of my plate, and figure out how I can manage to get other things done […]

Episode 12 – Reboot

by The Shrinking Man March 9, 2011 Check In

This week we’re starting over. Trying to get back to the beginning and set out on the right foot, bringing things in one by one as I can. The hospital saga has been left behind, I’m feeling better, but I can’t just drop back into the same old routine. So it is back to the […]

Last week started off in control, on target, and right on schedule… and then it exploded into chaos. The wheels came off in just about every sense except the literal one this week. This week’s check in is a study in what stress will do to you. This episode is kind of its own thing. […]

After last week’s long episode, we have a very short one this week. Just a basic check in. This hasn’t been a very eventful week, given that I’ve been nursing a bad back for several days. I am feeling better now, and my wife and I celebrated our Valentine’s Day a little early. This week’s […]
