- This week is hard; having a four day weekend where we were busy and having fun has made it so I feel like I don’t want to be at work, nor do I have the wherewithal to make myself put effort in. This is in part due to leaving for a vacation soon. A real one, longer than a couple days off.
- In fact, it’s most of what’s taking up space in my brain right now; thinking about flying (fear!), being in Chicago (nice weather and family!), and then the other various aspects (Ohio, then King’s Island). I just really look forward to it, more than any trip before maybe. Well, perhaps not true. Last summer I needed vacation as a break from the money stress. This year my mindset is that it’s the last big getaway before drafting/editing season, leading up to next Session.
- I wanted to get tickets to see the Eagles on their last tour but WOW, the prices! I was in the presale queue and even then, the 160 dollars ones were sold out in a second. Then everything else was 350+. No thanks; I saw the Eagles in 2002 already but I wanted to see Steely Dan. Guess that just isn’t happening.
- I’ve really come to appreciate Mondays. I eat keto and Ash and I usually take a pretty long walk. Though it’s warm now, between 7 and 8 it’s not too awful. I like the feel of summer, honestly. Love the late evening sounds, the glow of the sun. I know most people hate being hot but it doesn’t bother me all that much.
- I also feel like I am trying to be more in the moment and thankful for where I am, knowing that Fall will be upon us soon enough. We’ll be starting school again, celebrating two kids’ birthdays, my son will get his driver’s license, cross country and soccer will begin, and before I know it, I’ll be deep in to that editing time. The last four months of the year go pretty quickly too.
- As always, Tuesday is moving slow. I thought about knocking off early later so I can catch up on stuff but I am also trying to save all my leave. Depends on how the afternoon goes, I guess.
- This round of training has been a little less stressful. I was maybe over-thinking. If I miss some stuff, then I’ll learn from it. I guess I was just nervous that they’d think I wasn’t figuring this out if I missed too much. But this job is such a hands-on thing; you edit like crazy for only a few months out of the year then don’t do anything for a bit so it’s difficult to keep up.
- Well, that’s about all the random I have for you. I’m going to do a little work on this draft that’s due tomorrow and then waste some time until maybe 3 and high-tail it home!
