Won't lie. This week has been a challenge. Work has, well been horrific. And then I come home and on top of all the other things that a working parent has to put up with, my eldest has seemingly decided to make it her personal mission to make my life a living hell.

How are you guys doing?

Well it's friday before Halloween and I just finished the jack-o-lantern and the kid's costume isn't even close to done yet. It's a shit show this year. Work has been - I don't want to talk about it. It's been not good. And the rumor is things aren't going to get better there before they get much much worse.

Very much like the environment, things aren't looking good and optimism would be foolhardy; bracing for impact, but honestly know it won't make much difference.

Oh and pouring thousands of dollars into the dog's vet bills has been fun, I can see my meager savings evaporate in realtime. And we still don't know what the fuck is going on.
