Well it is a Friday off from work today.  One of the aspects that I do enjoy about my job is that there are some nice benefits around time off and such.  But typically the day is filled with the little things that need to be done.  Really they are not too time consuming.  I typically grumble but end up doing them, really just a good reason not to stay in bed.

We have been moving along on the reno's in the house, to our credit that would be the people doing the reno's we are making progress.  Not overworking ourselves but really just putting in time when we can on the project.  It is very therapeutic in some forms but I will admit my neck is a mess after putting  the ceiling up the other day.

What I am thinking about mostly this past couple of weeks is where my time is not being spent, with my camera in hand or in my digital darkroom.  Sadly they are typically used together so when time is not spent on one it is not spent on the other.  I have a wonderful software called Topaz Labs which I am very happy with.  They released a new update this week, I am quite interested in going ahead with the update but the posts on the Topaz site are not all that positive a lot of challenges for some who have updated.  I am thinking maybe wait a bit for some of the issues to be addressed.

We are talking a lot with our wonderful daughter she is moving closer to grad and to moving on to other things in life.  I am sure that as that time comes closer it will be something that we are all going to need help with.

With that the week is done, time to get ready for a hockey and then on with the weekend and oh yeah somebody turns 17 wow where did that go.
