No coding or posting for over a week isn’t good

I feel so bad, I have not done any coding, or even posting here for well over a week. That isn’t good.

I am working on a coding project which really should be completed by now but  there has been so many interuptions it is getting impossible to do anything.

I had our loft space converted about 18 months ago and worked up there every day, this was great as I was away from all of the activity and distractions around the house but it gets cold up there in the winter and running an electric heater all day was expensive so I have been working downstairs on my laptop, big mistake as this means that Tracey asks me to do things around the house all the time rather than wait for me to come down for a break or something.

This has meant the remodelling of the  bathroom is now complete after months but that doesn’t earn us any cash.

To add to that, the kids have been off school this past week and are for the next week, this is a distraction in itself but they want to do things with me during the day and as I am sat in the same room as them find it hard to comprehend that I am working.

On Monday we then had a scare, Tracey’s Grandfather was rushed into hospital, both of  Tracey’s parents where out at work, neither having their own transport available to get home or to the hospital so I volenteered to go to the hospital to see what the situation was until they could get back, I have absolutely no problem doing this and would do it again tomorrow if needed.  Thankfully it looks as if Tracey’s Grandfather is going to be OK.

My parents came up from down south later in the week for a couple of days which meant that there was no time to get my hands near the computer long enough to do anything worthwhile in the way of coding. I love to see my parents, we don’t see enough of them to be honest and we had planned to visit them while the kids are not at school .

I love my kids and spending time with them, I love getting the DIY done around the house, I would always drop anything I am doing if any member of the family is taken ill and things need to be done, and off course I love seeing my parents but it why is it when I need to get work done everything happens offline, when I don’t have much work on nothing appears to happen offline.
