Hi All,

Just a quick heads-up that I need to cancel the Paw-Post for this week because I have had no time at all to work at it in the last week, or on the weekend.

This, unfortunately, it becoming a growing problem on two fronts. At home, I was not getting a lot of sleep. I aimed for 7 hours a night, but maaaaaybe once every week or two I'd actually manage that. Most nights were only 6 hours. That's not healthy - especially with more and more studies proving how crucial sleep is ( there is an excellent TED talk on that, by the way: https://www.ted.com/talks/matt_walk.....our_superpower). Anyway, I decided to up it to 8 hours a night, and be a lot more strict about adhering to it. That means though that I had 1 to 2 hours less a day for things.

At work, the university is adopting a lot more change-management, ticketing systems and time-tracking, which is making it a lot more difficult to squeeze in furry stuff without my hours starting to look like there is too much "unplanned" time usage, so between those two big changes, it's becoming a real struggle some weeks to find the time needed to do the Paw-Post. More of the work is shifting to the weekends, and sometimes, a weekend is booked with other stuff like friends and family events, like this last one was for me, and then I don't have any time left to work on things.

So that said, I hope to return again next week, but it is starting to look like I may have to rethink how I am doing the Paw-Post, and/or, what it offers all of you. I may create a poll on that subject in the near future to get an idea of what people think about stuff.

Hopefully back to normal by next week. Ciao!
