    NB> Hopefully..  :)   It seems, in any case, that perhaps another visit to   
    NB> the region might be called for, when things are more settled... and then   
    NB> you can make sure the phone's battery is fully charged... or bring a   
    NB> real camera...  ;)   
      
     I agree.  :)  I miss having a 'real' camera.  I mean the ones in cell phones   
   these days are pretty good, but nothing really beats a really good camera.  I   
   actually wouldn't mind getting another film one at some point, too.  I miss   
   having 35mm for the more artsy shots.   
     For now though, I've gone ahead and tried to cement in a large amount of   
   hours at work and been workin' on the good habits that I'm trying to get   
   cemented in place.  :)  Seems to be the best idea.  It's broken up by   
   struggling to find some more interesting things to do with my son...  Today is   
   the day that I play catch 'n release.  Wish me luck on the white knuckles of   
   having my son out and about in this kind of area.  ;)   
      
    NB> Almost more trouble than they were worth...  ;)   
      
     They definitely were, for me.  Though for my son, I think he got a lot more   
   benefit because he's able to deal with those kinds of stressors more easily.    
   So his surplus of benefit kind of pours over and makes me feel that it was a   
   lot more worth it than if it would've just been for me.   
      
    NB> Sounds wise to me.   :)   Find things closer to home and less expensive   
    NB> for now, when you do need to take a break from the routine...  :)  But   
    NB> putting most of the effort into establishing the routines and good   
    NB> habits...  :)   
      
     Absolutely.   
      
    NB> Some things you might be able to pick up along the way, should you see   
    NB> them available at a good deal...  :)   
      
     Well I'm definitely looking for a chance to restock my camping/survival gear,   
   but not necessarily right away.  There's just not enough space with three   
   people in a one bedroom apartment.   
      
    NB> Yeah, you're probably paranoid..  ;)  I wouldn't be surprised if your   
    NB> upbringing hadn't made that so ingrained for you, though...  I wouldn't   
    NB> say flat out that it couldn't happen... there's always the possibility,   
    NB> I just tend to be more optimistic that things will work themselves out..   
    NB> and I know Who really is in control of the mess, and will work things as   
    NB> they should ultimately be...  :)      
      
     Oh I know for a fact that my upbringing made me paranoid.  Then again, my   
   time in the army confirmed a lot of conspiracy crap that'd always run through   
   my head, so I think I get discounted by my crazy upbringing a little bit too   
   easily sometimes.  :)   
      
    NB> Hopefully you succeeded...  :)   More later... from whichever echos...  ;)   
      
     I can't remember if I got past the distraction next to me that day or not.  I   
   do know that we made some hellacious progress on getting out a decent amount of   
   hours this last week, though, and I was pushing hard as much as I could when I   
   wasn't blocked on tickets while my roomie was sick, too.  So despite the bumps,   
   the trajectory is definitely upwards.  I've got one paycheck in the mail and   
   another freshly invoiced; the freshly invoiced one is going to be the best I've   
   made so far, and I'm trying to make that the standard per week.  This summer   
   could be a really good time for digging myself out of the hole that we've ended   
   up in for a bit.
