I want my old life back

I really don’t know what has changed but I liked my old life.

I would get up in the morning, see the kids of to school, get the laptop out and do a bit of dropping, some reading and then spend the rest of the day coding. I loved it, coding was my passion and I enjoyed it.

Recently things have changed, I’ve spent lots of time in the garden, which I am loving. Yes it has been warm over the last week but this has been going on longer, I’ve built some decking which took me forever, we’ve started cutting down tree’s (got to figure out the roots) so we can extend the drive for the motor home, and this afternoon we have a French exchange student arriving for a week.  The worse part is I am not missing sitting at the keyboard.

Part of me feels I have let people down, I stated I hoped to have my EC style site completed within a month, well more than a month on and to be honest it is not going to reach completion any time soon (Sorry).  I have another project which I dropped to do the EC style site, again this should be complete by now but it’s not.

Is this the signs of getting Old, the kids in our house say yes, ‘Dad you are an old man’, but heck I would like to think I am only half way through my life, sure that means I am not Old just yet.

I know that I will get coding again, heck I have to but I want it to be because I want to and not because I have to, I know once I get started in the morning I will get into it, love what I am doing and get some work done.
