So close...

11 pm the night before the big deadline day. Wrapping up the work for today and heading for some sleep before the frenzy which will be tomorrow.


Been trying to be present wherever I happen to be at the moment these past few weeks and I've been a lot of places. It's kind of amazing how much can get done and be appreciated when I just focus, really focus on whatever is in front of me. I wasn't always succesful and R. can attest to some grumpy, snappy moments, but I was trying. Looking forward to sitting down and sharing some of it real soon after I do some laundry, clean out out the frig, get my haircut, and basically just tend to my life outside of my work pod. Priority number one - sit outside with a wide brimmed hat on and soak up some of this beautiful sun.


Last night I was in a friend's beautiful backyard being celebrated with some other July birthdays. Walked to work in my crown today, next to my boyfriend Max (read R.) in his crown, trying to stretch the celebration a little further before he hugged me goodbye outside this old, beautiful brick building.

Grateful that I have a job, grateful for my paycheck and health insurance, my co-workers, my boss that was here all weekend with me, all my friends in that backyard last night, Sue and Sarah doing all the behind the scenes work to make last evening possible, my sweet ass boyfriend doing a load of my laundry for me so I could have clean underwear this week, for my health and fully functioning body, that Lord willing I'll see my mom, stepdad, and sister pretty damn soon, that deadlines come and go, and the list goes on and on.

Good night, everyone. Sweet dreams.
