truly obsessed

[doc]

try getting text messages that say " the birds are going nuts, fish are busting"...or "there is an epic blitz going on"...only trouble is that i am about to go into a procedure on a patient...now that takes all the concentration in the world to keep that out of my mind...i just fish as much as i can when i am not in work...keep my pager under my waders....and sometimes things can get so crazy where i have even resorted to taking the kids (ages 3 and 6), as ross can attest to, with me to one of these epic fall blitzes (they actually had a blast)...now, my wife on the other hand couldnt have winter come faster...

but i think if one were to look up the definition of obsess "to haunt or excessively preoccupy the mind"...we are all clearly obsessed!!!!!

We can only relate here, we have no answers , only the same obsessions so we can only offer support.

Pursue what you love and the rest will work itself out ... granted, life always looks greener when someone else is going through the pains of sleepless nights and struggling through work ... we all face it, so just accept it and do what you love, as much as possible.

Do what you can to take advantage of it at every moment ... just try to keep the wife happy as best you can.

Cheers

Sat night I paid a little extra attention to the wifey, if you know what I mean......Sunday afternoon 3 hours to myself rock hopping trying to find anything. Plus I got an hour long nap in before the Pats game! Unheard of! Skunked but I'll take the alone time anytime. Not to rob the thread but man it seemed over to me where I am fishing from. I may need to make a visit to my RI relatives!

To ALL

Thanks very much for the "support". I needed to read how others deal with this problem we all have

Last night was one of those nights that, if it were last year, I would have just said f this, I'm too freakin' tired. A long night with the wifey before made for a sleepy Monday morning. Then a tough day at work. THEN it took forever to get the boys to bed (how many times can a 5 year old have to pee?) Anyway, I'm lying on the couch in the family room, wanting to go fishing but at the same time I am WIPED OUT from the day with all the insanity. So, my wife says, "I thought you were going fishing?" to which I reply "Nah, I really do wanna go but I'm beat". She then says "Just get up and go! Don't over-analyze it! Just get up. What, you have to just throw waders, a bag, belt, hat and rod in the car, right? How long could that take"? I was amazed ! So, I got off my sorry arse, went to the camper and grabbed my gear, loaded it into my "sneak car" (didn't need a truck last night) and just went. In minutes after leaving home I felt refreshed and alert. I arrived at my spot feeling good that I went. The fishing wasn't that great (only 3 shorts) but it beat sitting at home feeling sorry for myself!

my last job... had a back river right behind it. i would bring my gear to work.. and when i went out for a "smoke break" i would be back there fishing till i finished my smoke.. took a lot of smoke breaks at high tide.. if i was workin alone on a slow night i could manage to fish between costumers, cause i could cast from about 15 ft back and still the front of the store..

what a gig that was..
