Good morning, world.

It's late, so late. And, of late, as with most of my life, this is my time. These last couple of weeks, however, it's for different reasons than usual. I've actually been applying myself at home, which I've never really been one for. I took 4 days of my 20 annual leave days to get some work done at home, after finding out that Kerri was in serious stress mode about whether Emily -- who gets back from London in.. far too few hours now -- would have a place to sleep, due to the current disarray of our house. I was shocked into action by the emotional stress that Kerri was under, and it put me on notice: I just don't do enough around the house. I'm a very lazy person in most endeavors; as anyone who knows me will tell you. I work hard at work when there's something serious on, otherwise I'm usually found in my own pursuits (such as.. getting my new wordpress site tweaked out just how I want it... or writing some script in an arcane language/fashion for my own gratification). Basically, I'm just selfish. I apply effort when I absolutely have to, or when I'm getting some immediate benefit from it, but otherwise I'll do as little as I can.
