This is the first time I\u2019ve had the availability to any sort of writing since the birth of #2, and it\u2019s solely based on the fact that I\u2019m back to work, sequestered in my office, and where my kids are being cared for by mythical wife and our nanny.\u00a0 In the downtime between periodic work emails where things are on fire, and the lulls throughout the day, I\u2019m finding myself actually capable of finding a little bit of time to write something, and now that I do, I don\u2019t even know where to start.<\/span><\/p>\n Over the last three weeks, I\u2019ve jotted down notes and blurbs of things that I\u2019d like to touch on, but never having the time and capacity to do so, they\u2019ve just been amassing in a draft document and I\u2019m debating on whether or not it\u2019s worth trying to revisit some things but I think we all know that I probably will because I have a hard time letting go of things and ideas that were thought of, going unused.\u00a0 Including the topic of having no time itself on account of welcoming a second child into the world.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see how my writing habits become in coming weeks and months, because as I\u2019ve stated countless times, my brog is basically my lifeblood of hobbies, and no matter the circumstances it\u2019s something I\u2019ll never let go of.<\/span><\/p>\n Also over the last three weeks, I\u2019ve gone through the a vast gamut of emotions, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s a surprise.\u00a0 Sleep deprivation has a tendency to alter mood and emotions like that, and regardless of knowing why and reminding myself to exhibit patience, it\u2019s still been very challenging at times to not just feel fried and angry and frustrated with things, which then leads to guilt, inadequacies and an overall shitty feeling, but three weeks in now, I think we\u2019re kind of, hopefully, finding some modicum of rhythm, and once #2\u2019s sleep cycles start to stabilize, or at least she manages to chain at least one sleep cycle to another, then mythical wife and I might gain some free time, which in turns would mean gaining a little bit of sanity back.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, this post serves really no other purpose than to break the streak of brog silence that would ordinarily have me losing my shit to have let a week, much less three, go by without any sort of post.\u00a0 Having kids seems like as justifiable reason as any to warrant it, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that I tend to get angsty when I don\u2019t write for too long, which didn\u2019t help feed the more negative emotions that have crept into my head over the last few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n In a perfect<\/span> more ideal world, I\u2019ll comb through my notes and topics and try and write out some coherent and tangible stories and posts about the journeys of a second-time father and a dad of two under two years old, as well as catch up some of the other few topics that piqued my interest over the span and try to play some catch-up.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the first time I\u2019ve had the availability to any sort of writing since the birth of #2, and it\u2019s solely
