Up, up.

I am up, finishing a newsletter. On the cusp of another week, looking out into that vast field of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and so on. I ended up working all day Saturday for a rogue freelance rate. Sunday was a baby shower full of oohs and ahhs and nostalgia, then more work now. As I gaze onto the horizon, projecting forth out into the week, it is a long road ahead. Meetings as far as the eye can see, days filled with adrenaline and wonder and a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants dread. Coffee daydreams followed by after work naps. (By the way, if one does not have a husband to nap on after work, I highly recommend getting one for this purpose alone. Alternately, I'm willing to rent mine out for $5 an hour--$15 if he has to be quiet and still.)

To be blunt, it's a hell of a lot of work. I'm already feeling restless being in town, I want to travel. I'm already feeling homesick in anticipation of travel--I want to be home. I fly out on Saturday. I get home in March. I crave being in over my head as I crave having a period of rest. Tonight, I am paradoxical.

But for all this, I do not envision any more half-assed metaphors, so for now, I sleep.

Dork. *smirk*

Hey - how was the shower? I didn't know about it . . . I'll have to send something.

Oh, it wasn't for Denise or anything--it was for an old from-high-school friend. She's due almost the same time as Denise though.

Ah! In't it scary seeing all the people we went to school with having babies?! Anyway, how was it?

I mean, that's not to say that you can't send Nikki something as well. :D She's "Stars Echos" on my LJ f-list.

But you bring up a good point. . . hmm...baby shower for Denise. . .

Hmm...
