How slack am I?  I haven’t updated for such a long time.  To be honest I’ve had a bad few weeks, my dog passed away about three weeks ago and I was absolutely devastated.  He was only five years old and had no known health issues so it came as a huge shock when he died and it has really unsettled me quite a bit.  I haven’t been very focused on anything, personal or work, so that is one big reason why I haven’t been updating.
