This was the view as I drove home from work and proof that the spring is coming. The sunset is rapidly getting later in the evening now and while it is 830pm, I have only been home a touch over an hour. Long days.
I am singing my daughter to sleep at the moment, even though she asked me not to sing. She does that when she doesn't want to calm down but she will fall asleep quite quickly I think.
The last month has been the busiest so far for me, as traveling internationally takes what I consider precious time away from other things that have to be worked on also. There were 45+ hours of extra travel time in the last 4 weeks and work doesn't stop while comuting via planes, trains and automobiles.
What people find amusing in life can vary a lot but, I am more the curious type so Steem has plenty on offer to play with for someone like me. I question why some people are here if they do not enjoy themselves and the answer is likely money for most. As I said in the morning post, many claim not to care about earnings but a lot of their content and comments centers around just that.
I care about earnings too but it is future value that is the important aspect for me and, that is because of what I want to do in my future. Having more resources means that I am able to work on more than I do now as I won't have to waste my time on daily tasks in the same way. For example, the reason I was so late at work was because I was doing my end of month hour and expense reporting, which is complicated due to the travel. It took almost 4 hours.
I will get faster at that as I learn to better know the systems but, it will always take a fair bit of time. Often times people look to improve where they are already proficient because it is more enjoyable but the biggest areas to save time address improving where one is not strong, that is paperwork for me. I have always hated it.
She is asleep now, the serenade can end.
This weekend I have a lot of things to do and as always, the days will be taken up with time spent with my daughter. I really enjoy the weekends with her and while we are together, I am as present as I can be.
I think I will leave her to dream and move to the laptop on the kitchen table to get writing for the night. I am not sure about what yet but I generally have several ideas knocking around at any one time that I process in spare moments. I find it amusing that people so often struggle with content topics when love is so full of interesting things to think about.
Tonight I think I may stay on the Steem topic a little though as at the moment, it is interesting for me and with so much changing and potential to come, it is worth thinking more upon.
Who knows, I could write a poem instead.
Or, maybe both.
