Day 236, the nightowl

Despite the awkward blurriness of this picture, I wasn't drunk when I took it. Just tired. Like, real tired. I'm still adjusting to my new schedule, mainly re-learning how to plan out my work for the day so I don't end up awake at 3am designing. Which sounds fun, but is much less fun at 9am the next morning when my alarm goes off. H'anyway, this is the alley that runs behind my apartment. It's really not this creepy, it's actually one of my favorite little things. I'll try to take a daytime picture so you can see how cool it really is.

Day 164 has a good feeling about all this

I'm pretty sure I've done more traveling these past 3 months than I've done in the past few years of my life. I just spent 60 or so hours in Chicago, my soon to be new city. I slept maybe 10 hours total the past 3 days and am looking forward to catching up on some much needed zzzz's tonight. But before I get settled into bed - this is a shot from my lovely ride along Lake Shore Drive this morning as I headed to my first appointment of the day. The weather was divine, the city was gorgeous and the coffee was delicious. So it was all, ya know, kinda perfect.

Day 159 has it in the bag

I put in a nearly fourteen hour day today at a work seminar. I am beat! Here's a little glimpse into the contents of my purse (moleskin notebook, petty cash envelope, bra, keys...). It's maybe not the most organized I've ever been, but I sure was prepared!

Day 110 takes the long way home

Oh hey, friends. Have I mentioned yet how tired I (still) am? Cause it's true. I saw a fun show tonight at the 5th Ave theater and my post-theater high was quickly killed by the treacherous commute I had home. The commute is actually easy, it's the fact that buses/trains come about 3 times an hour that makes it a pain in the ass. Plus it was about 36º tonight (wtf Seattle). A temperature I was certainly not properly dressed for. All these things together = cranky and tired me. wah wah! Okay, I'm done complaining now. Just had to get that off my chest. :)

Workin' late on Day 6

I put in a pretty rough 14 hours of work today. Rough for me at least. I definitely have friends and family who work this kind of day on the regular, but not me. My body and my eyes were not prepared for such a thing. Around 6pm I was struck with a hunger that would have caused me to do crazy, crazy things if it went on much longer. Thankfully, chinese food for the "sleepover" team arrived just in time and I was saved from taking a trip to "omg, feed me now before i eat this keyboard" land. Around 8pm my eyes stopped being able to focus and there was definitely some blurry vision involved. By 9:45 I knew it was time to go home or I wouldn't be able to drive without being a danger to myself and others. A shower, some egg rolls and really comfy pajamas capped off this long day. And now... my very cozy bed awaits! Holla, Day 6!!
