I barely find time to surf by your blogs before it&#8217;s time for another walkie or play session.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure is on at work with just a few weeks left in my training period. I&#8217;ve three tests ahead of me in the next two weeks and then a final week of waiting to hear if they&#8217;ve decided to keep me on in this new job. The world won&#8217;t end if I have to go back to the old one &#8211; I&#8217;ve come to that conclusion here lately.  There&#8217;s something to be said for the comfort of the familiar, be it the *old* job or the old dog content to sleep at your feet.<\/p>\n<p>So, in an effort to get caught up with all of you and maintain my sanity (and friendships) I&#8217;ll be taking something of a summer vacation from blogging everyday. Please don&#8217;t think me disinterested for not having been in touch lately. When I&#8217;ve found a minute to appreciate the wonder of something, I&#8217;ll be sure to share it. Please be here with me when I do.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything seems to be taking twice as long to accomplish these days.
