Every day goes pretty much like this for me, it’s just the details that are different.
I went to bed last night with the goal of getting up this morning, publishing a photograph or two, and writing something interesting, at least to me. I probably should have forced myself to do it last night, but the long day I had was wearing me thin and I was already starting to fall asleep. So I just went to bed.
I was wide awake at 3:30am. But, forced myself back to sleep knowing I have an even longer day in front of me. My alarm went off at 4:45am, just like I asked it to. I hit snooze. I thought I hit snooze. At 6:30am I get out of bed.
Knowing that I’ve lost two hours of my morning I can choose between A) being to work much later than I’d intended, B) not publishing anything, or C) just being a little later than planned and publishing something quick and easy. I go for option C. As I start to search for a photo I realize I haven’t done a quick cleanup operation in my photo catalog in quite a while so I kick it off. Of course it gives me trouble. It should take 5 minutes. It’s been running for over 20. And then, the software crashes and the clean up is lost. Of course.
So now I haven’t written anything (except for this). I managed to get the software back up and pulled a photo out of it. Of course, I had to edit it even quicker than usual, which means I’ll probably end up redoing it. If I wait much longer, I’ll be stuck in traffic and end up at work a lot later than I want to be.
Welcome to my life — every day.
Send love, encouragement, excitement, distractions, and anything else you can muster. I’m going to need it today.

“So, Sarah, in return, I have only one favor to ask of you.”
