Life this week has been consumed by my day job, the general requirements of life, and "preparing for Myschievia":http://revjim.net/2006/10/05/myschievia-portrait-studio-when-plans-crumble/.
I started out with a long work day (from home, thank god) mostly spent defending myself, my team, and our efforts from one person who went into panic mode when he realized he hadn't been paying attention and passed that panic on to his boss. I did what I could to convince them that I'm not trying to single handedly take over our department and then called it a day.
I managed to edit quite a few photographs. Including the one of the sunset I "mentioned yesterday":http://revjim.net/2006/10/03/freedom-costs-a-buck-ofive/. If you weren't one of the few people that mentioned wanted to see it, then just don't look.
Next I headed out for shopping and planning for the "Myschievia Portrait Studio":http://revjim.net/2006/10/05/myschievia-portrait-studio-when-plans-crumble/. Unfortunately, all four hours spent doing so were utterly fruitless.
After getting home, Jess and I had a quick dinner and then headed to Rob's house to pick up the supplies he was lending us. He went over a lot of things with us and I'm very grateful for his support and advice. I feel 100 times better about what I'm doing having spoken to him.
After we left Rob's place we went to a WalMart which didn't have what we wanted, and then on to another WalMart which did. After much shopping and a lot of planning on the drive home, we unloaded the truck and fell into bed just after midnight.
I should have taken today off too, but I didn't. So, I'm at work today. I've got some shopping to do on my lunch break and then I'm going to try to get home as early as possible. Then tonight will consist of eating pizza, drinking whiskey, sewing curtains, gathering supplies, packing bags, doing a trial build of the the camp, taking photos in it, and then tearing it all down. You're welcome to come if you'd like to join us.
