I've been really sick again over the past few days, being stuck in bed for the past 2 of them. I've been getting a little concerned, 'cause I rarely get sick, and now I've been sick almost regularly, for the past few months. I think it's associated with some stress I'm involved in.
Deidre's been having a few complications at work which have been greatly stressing her out. Each night Deidre's been coming home, expressing more and more of her daily stress. She's been exceptionally happy that I've been her 'rock', the person that supports her, that she can lean on when she needs to, that provides stability in her life.

Thanks to Not PC for inspiring me to show this cute little tool that shows how much your blog is worth. Here's mine:
Not bad… A few weeks ago I checked and it was only about $5,000 worth, so the value, nicely enough, is going up.

I've discovered something called lifehacks, and decided to create a site for it, as it's a concept I like and feel can be applied to so many things that I'm interested in: personal development, relationship development, spiritual development, and general tips about life. Here's my description of it, as taken from the site I created for it.
What is life hacking exactly?
Life hacking was a term created by Danny O'Brien in 2004, with a seminar entitled 'Life Hacks: Tech Secrets of Overprolific Alpha Geeks'. His focus was for geeks, bringing together the small things that they do to make things easier for themselves, and sharing that knowledge out to others.

I thought I'd just give an example of a typical week day for me. Just for the fun of it. Maybe it'll help you get to know me a bit more. If you want to, that is. If you don't, then just don't click to read any more. 
My cellphone alarm buzzes quietly at me at 5:50am. I wake up, snooze it and then cuddle Deidre for a while. At 6am it buzzes again, and I kiss Deidre good morning as I get up and leave her to her sleep. I go into the lounge room and read any email that might have come in overnight. This will include any notifications of comments left on my site, which I will try to respond to if anything comes to mind.
