Well it finally happened.  I don't have any pending articles (aside from the twice monthly column), my chapters on Professional VB.NET 2005 are in and I'm not late on any assignments at work.  The San Diego .NET User Group event was yesterday and my presentation was fine (although the event had 'issues').   

I've been trying to wrap things up and get my tasks under control and for the first time in... well lets just say a long time, I actually feel like I've managed to catch up.  I'm not really caught up after all its a Sunday and I'm still planning to work, but it's a state of mind. 

It's a state I intend to stay in through the holidays as I spend some time with a little less stress.
