Keeping my head down

I’m glad it’s Friday. I had a pretty good birthday yesterday. Unfortunately I was just slammed at work and running on fumes most of the day. Sophia and I were able to go out to a nice dinner at Ernest while one of my friends watched Colin. I was really grateful for the opportunity to go out to dinner again, but I was half asleep pretty much the entire night.

The transition to crazy work schedule with a newborn hasn’t been easy. The work stays the same and I have less hours to get it done. My days are longer now to accommodate the schedule, but there’s still less hours than I had to focus on work. It’ll continue to be a challenge and I really need to make sure to use my weekends to rest and spend time with Colin as much as possible nowadays.

On another note, everything just feels crazy right now. Trump and his administration are following through on their tariff strategy which is causing a lot of uncertainty in the markets. There’ll be a lot of short term pain unfortunately. One of which is a possible delay in the IPO window. That is frustrating to say the least for all of us in the startup world.

The uncertainty is causing a lot of confusion and volatility. No one really knows how this will all end. I’m vowing to try to stay away from reading every news headline out there right now. It’s not good for my mental health. I need to keep my head down and stay focused on the goals and what we can control.
