The Nelson Narrative

I've been at my new office for about 2 1/2 months now and I'm loving the 5 minute commute.  I don't know if this is a trend everywhere or just my company or what, but we are transitioning to smaller workstations (can't really call it a cubicle anymore) with new furniture that includes a sit/stand desk. Before:   Standard cubicle w/upper shelves After: New, much smaller workstation Really close to my neighbor The view from my seat turning my head to the right a bit.  I'll take it! The view closer to the window  

So if you recall, this time last year was crazy busy for us.  Olivia had dance on Mondays, gymnastics on Tuesdays and violin on Wednesdays.  Kayley had piano on Tuesdays, and then they both had Girl Scouts just one Wednesday a month.  It was pretty hectic but the dance was only late January through mid May, so the rest of the year wasn't quite as bad. But I'm happy to report that this year is much calmer.  Kayley is doing gymnastics and Olivia is doing dance, and that hasn't even started yet (it starts on the 22nd).  That's it.  Other than Olivia is still doing Girl Scouts which is only once a month and she was doing choir but gave that up after Christmas.  And they were both doing soccer but that ended in November.  As much as I would like them to take some sort of music lessons, I'm definitely enjoying the lighter schedule for now.
