three more days to go. one hour to go before this days winds down. my colleagues are writing and behaving. we've done nearly everything they've asked us to do. the other ones we won't be able to finish are due to technical problems we couldn't avoid. i hope they're happy. because, surprisingly, i am.

i cannot believe how much he's grown in just over two months. i feel both sad and proud every time i watch this video. sad that i am not with him every day to hug and kiss him and tell him how much i love him. and proud of his growth, that he is growing up to be a smart and happy child. my husband tells me jaden frequently looks for me and wonders why i don't come home anymore. knowing that just breaks my heart.

i keep counting the days and nights until i see him and my loving husband again.

meanwhile, life goes on. our manager goes on vacation tomorrow and by virtue of my being the oldest here i am going to be in charge for the next four working days. and that scares the s**t out of me. we start working on a new project tomorrow and will inevitably be adjusting to the new requirements. the company is concerned about the team's productivity already and having to adjust means well, not being as productive as i think they expect us to be. next week, they tell us how we're going to be evaluated. oh.sweet.lord.have.mercy. anyway, my biggest fear is disappointing them, those-who-put-me-in-charge. i only hope i live up to their expectations and not be a bitch to my wonderful colleagues in the process.

mantra: this is a challenge i will overcome...this is a challenge i will overcome....
