I’m working on the last cheer team photo, which has stymied me for days and required a lot of creativity and finesse for a novice like me. There is a metal fence to remove, and a large woman, and a truck, and a house. Basically 15% of the original photo is usable. But… I have learned an awful lot in the last two weeks.

Today was a LOT better than any day in the last two-plus weeks. I am so relieved. I have no idea what changed. I guess it doesn’t really matter.

My stomach unclenched for the first time in over a week today. It’s the first time I felt hungry since last Monday. It hasn’t been consistent, but it’s the first bit of relief I’ve had in what feels like forever. Also today: I spent 40 minutes in line to pick up a prescription from Walgreen’s. That was time I had been planning to spend outside watching the sun set. Whyyyyyy?

This photo is exactly what it looks like – taking a photo for no other reason than I didn’t want to miss a day. I was literally in bed with the light off when I remembered and just couldn’t find the energy to get up and try to do something even remotely creative. I was so exhausted all day long, it was actually painful.

Trying to conduct business meetings while Michael Kay is talking is harder than you might think.

I turned off my alarm in my sleep this morning, which is really just a lame excuse for not wanting to get up and run on the treadmill. I’m thinking about turning the alarm off tomorrow too. The rest of the day was mildly disappointing, from mediocre writing for my class tomorrow to wasting time doing pointless work at my job to a listless card game with Billy and Christina after dinner. But I did do the dishes, so that’s a plus.

There’s not much to say about today. I’m trying to write where I have very little inspiration and I’m taking photos right before bed just to check the box. There was cavatappi pasta and Sondheim and Webber singing and now I am going to pass out from exhaustion.

Exciting things that happened today: I started a new workout at the gym, I ate a peanut butter sandwich, I finished re-reading The Chamber of Secrets (now to re-watch the movie), I have a church meeting tonight. I can barely contain myself.

I’ve had this string of long, hard days with almost no down time, and it’s wearing me down. Today was gym, writing assignment for Thursday’s worship class, work, pick kids up from school, go back to school for parent night, food shopping, pharmacy to pick up a prescription only to find my insurance won’t cover it for another three weeks for some inexplicable reason, to the restaurant to pick up takeout, more work, put kids to bed, take out garbage, Oak Island, and oh yeah, take a damn photo. I’m too tired for this. Tomorrow has to be easier.

It’s been a long time since I took an actual photograph with an actual camera, let alone in low light. I think it shows.
