It's been ages...

It's been years ... I kept thinking about this forum but with work and family duties it gets hard.

I hope everyone's been well. I think last time I was here my kid was not yet born or still very young, now she's in school ... how time flies (and how quickly I get old).

Take care all.

It's usually fairly quiet around here, but it's good to see you again, Sammy. I hope things have been going well.
Your kid is already in school. Time does fly. How has that been?

Thanks Furen, hope you have been well too.

Time does fly, and now I feel old(er). Like whenever I have to stoop down to pull out weeds in the yard, my back complains to me the next day. It's possibly a side effect of not doing enough / any exercise. LOL.

There was a time when I'd go to the gym regularly, but man, after my daughter was born, it was work, housework, school stuff, etc. I am fortunate my wife and I can tag team the school drop offs and pick ups, so that on the days she does the pick ups I stay back late at work to make up for extra hours (which also partially explains why I have no time for the gym).

And to be truthful, I've just been kinda lazy. Like after doing all of the admin tasks and errands for the day, I realised the time was close to 11pm already.

I am hoping to make some small but important changes - like doing 5 - 10 minutes of intensive exercise a day and seeing if that makes any difference (I do spend around 30-40 minutes a day walking as part of my commute to and from work, but walking isn't "intensive" enough for me).

Then whenever I get some spare time I go online and read about toys and action figures (it helps me "de-stress").

Good to see you again; glad to hear things are (mostly) well with you and your family.
