Working Nights & Weekends

Moments In Between Work – “work hard, break hard. that’s how it goes right?” – Joshua Davis

Resisting the urge to work nights or weekends has been a challenge since starting my new job with Sprint back in September. Having a big high visibility project, that is all new, hasn’t helped matters. This article from DZone says a lot to why I need to put my boundaries back in place.

I know things aren’t at a good place when my wife says “you’ve been working a lot lately, when will things get back to normal”. Major red flag indeed. So looking forward to the next few months as we’ll be moving into a new house, and my wife plans a trip to Africa, I’ll need to think long and hard before I pickup the work computer during my nights and weekends.

Cool Morning Interval Run Focusing On My Family

ByTim Nolte August 30, 2018

Decided to “follow” the #Endomondo training plan today to get a longer interval run in. So far I’ve been doing some mix of the #HWI training plan and the Endomondo one. We’ll see how well that works out for me. It was a very cool morning for a run, I was pretty surprised when I stepped out the door. It made for great weather for a run. While I listened to a #worship running mix I focused on praying for my wife and kids. Life has been challenging recently with the kids. I’m glad they are back in school but that is presenting it’s own challenges as well. #GRMarathon #Run4Water

We decided with the hot weather today and in the forecast there was no better time to get the pool put up for the summer. The kids were all about getting in the pool to cool off.

Game Time, Wahoo Marbles

ByTim Nolte November 26, 2017November 26, 2017

Love playing games with my kids. We want to start doing a family game night once a week. Jacob enjoyed beating me at marbles. Then we had fun playing Rush Hour, and Jacob wanted to keep playing instead of having snack.

Odd Holiday Week, Real Healthy Living Test

ByTim Nolte January 1, 2017January 1, 2017

This was a strange Holiday season with the timing of how Christmas and New Years fell, day-of-the-week wise. We had to celebrate our own Christmas a couple of days early and then traveled over the Holidays. Neither Christmas or New Years has felt like it was actually happening. We’ll still be celebrating Christmas with my in-laws in the next week. I’m not sure how next year so play out but I think we’re going to be taking breaks from traveling to Minnesota for Christmas, and go only every other year. It has been interesting trying to celebrate the Holidays and manage a healthy lifestyle. I will say that my wife and I together have done about as best as can be expected. We’ve both made…
