1. Personal update

disclaimer: OMG, the whole two weeks have passed, and I haven't even started to blog!
Damn, that business eats quite a lot of my time! ;)

Ok, let's get started.
The first and most important news in the field of my personal life is, of course, my wife Nadya being pregnant. Doctors say it will be a September girlie. :)
So, for the last couple of months I'm feeding her with melons, bananas, cherries and the whole bunch of other fruits, vegetables and berries. Not that I'm so generous and thankful to my wife - I just want my child to be healthy and strong. :P
My mother-in-law gave us some child dresses and stuff. So Nadya put the most part of it into the washing machine to make it clean. It was really fascinating feeling when I came home one day, and saw small dresses, trouses and other small things hanging from the balcony, drying. Just like there's some small human being waiting for me at home.. sweet feeling, I must say. :)

As a side note - my mom will soon be a granny, har-har-har! :D

As for other personal news - well, I've got some morning headache. I suppose it's some kind of in-head pressure (don't know the English medical term, so please suit yourself with this stupid "in-head-pressure" thing). My medical friend tells, however, that it may have another roots, and suggest going to a doctor and making some throughout analysis.
Guess what? I never came to that damned doctor. And if it won't progress - I hope I'll never have to. Hate'em! Aaargh!
No, really, the health-care side of our lives here is not very comforting. When you came to a hospital and wait for a couple of hours, sitting near a bunch of sick people - you're not going to get through it all unaffected. Some shit will surely stick to you, and then.. then **you**will**know**what**PAIN**means** !!
Huh, I must be really pissed off by our hospitals.. :P

Aside from the headache (which doesn't really bother me anyway) my health is in good condition, and I hope it will progress to exellent. I drink less, eat less, and sleep as long as I need, often coming at work late. Not too good for my business, but very good for my health, so in a long run it pays off.

Yes, about my sleep. I've got sleeplessness (I thought there's some medical term for this one, so I used translate.ru - and I'm not satisfied with the result. Heck, I could thought out something like that myself!)
Sometimes when I go to bed, I'm sleepless for an hour or even longer. Thinking about what should I do tomorrow, how should I deal with that lazy employee, what should I tell to my client, how can I beat the money out of another not-willing-to-pay client, etc. etc.
It seems like I have so much to do throughout the day so that I don't have time to just sit and think the things over. Or I am so busy doing nothing. Or I am so careless about all this. Anyway, it seems like the only time I really think about current problems is when I go to sleep. And I get up late because of it. And my business suffers because of it.

So, as I am aware of the problem now, I'm going to get it solved.
Perhaps I have to put some "thinking hours" in my schedule, or do something else - well, I'll make it work one way or another.

Well, that's all for now. I hope I will get back to blog in a couple of.. days? weeks? How do I know?? :)
Cya!

On updates

Well, it's certainly been a long time since my last update.. huh, as if I ever wrote them often.. (^_^)
Anyway, I think it's time now to describe the whole lot of things happened/happening/going to happen here.
I realize a single post won't accomodate everything, neither will I be able to write it all out at once. So I'll split it all in a few posts, each describing some different area.
For starters, the list would be like this:
1. Personal update - like about myself and my going-to-grow family
2. Business update - in whole
3. Education update - personal development, education in business etc.
4. Staff update - some stuff about staff ;)
5. Don't know yet :)

Hopefully, I'll make it all in a week or two. It all depends on the level of my tiredness at the end of the day. :)

As for now - see ya, I'm going to d/l some music and play some pc games, eating the melon at the same time (har-har-har, you nothern swine don't have it yet, do you? >:-D )
