morning would

i can’t decide if this day is going fast or slow. it’s almost surprising it’s thursday already, but there’s still a whole day left until the weekend. i’m fairly sure it’s exacerbated by the upcoming vacation and good-plans. i marked up my calendar with all the vacation i’ve booked and there’s a splotch of vacation-y orange in every month! it’s costing me for some of those days, but mental health trumps financial gain every time.
i’m starting to be wary of the continuing sunshine. like nature is going to pull the rug out from under us just as soon as we start taking the lack of rain and gloom for granted. I’M NOT TAKING IT FOR GRANTED, GAIA! i’ve finished four rolls of film and there are three more cameras with shots left to take. i’m hoping some of the good weather sticks around for the weekend so i can shoot them, but it’d be expected if the rain came back just as i have time out of the office.
christopher came over the other night, took one look at the jigsaw puzzle on the table and commented that i hadn’t made any more progress on it. that got me to thinking about the amount of time and energy i have outside of work and how i have to carefully ration them to accomplish both the things which i want to do and those i have to do. usually, the wants (Wii, puzzles, socializing) suffer for the needs (chores, errands, sleep) and i don’t know if everyone understands those compromises i make. it’s entirely my fault for having such ridiculous domestic standards, though; but, to paraphrase myself: mental health trumps Wii-playing every time. it sometimes sucks, but it’s still true.
addendum: hot dogs + the incredibles = good night.
