Hopefully, you all haven’t noticed, but over the last few weeks, I have been out of my normal routine due to some medical issues with multiple family members. Don’t worry everyone is now fine, or well on the way to fine. While my wife doesn’t actually read this blog I still want to call her out for being amazing. She is one of the family members who had an issue and I took some time off to take care of our son while she was recovering and her job is so much harder than what I do every day.
Back to blog related items. The reason you all haven’t noticed that I haven’t been around is that I keep about 4 posts ahead. This is a rule I set for myself years ago. If you are running a blog where you are trying to post on a schedule I highly recommend that you get ahead of your schedule. Getting ahead of my schedule is the only way that I have kept my stress level low enough to continue the blog at all. Since I have been out for a while my number of posts ready to go has gotten way too low and I have been struggling to get back into my normal routine.
I know this post isn’t going to be interesting to most people, but this is going to be a small win that gets things flowing again. Thank you for sticking with me and stay tuned the normal post will return next week.

Great strategy keeping 4 posts ahead.
Glad to hear your family is bouncing back to good health.
Thank you, Glen!
Hi Eric,
I have been a silent reader most of the times since I started reading your blog. I am writing this to appreciate your efforts, and wish your loved ones a speedy recovery and healthy life.
Stay blessed
Thank you, Zeshan!
The tenacity to keep a blog going under “normal” conditions is a feat in itself.
Glad to hear things are back on an upward trajectory.
Thank you, Daniel-san!
