Right now, I find Sundays to be my most productive work day. I can wrap up and write and photo-edit and clear my inbox like it's my job on Sundays. It sets the tone for the next four days. And then Thursday afternoon I sort of coast into my version of the weekend. This will be changing when Paul gets home. I'll match his schedule so we can enjoy as much time as possible together.
Right now, I am celebrating living in this new house for eight weeks. I drove up PCH eight Thursdays ago with a smile on my face. It's unreal how simultaneously slow and quick time passes. It makes me feel old.
Right now, I am finishing up two projects. One custom invitation job for a friend and one mini-album for a fun blog.
Right now, I have a really great feeling about February. Thanks to a bad habit, I have already flipped all my calendars. It's going to be adventure-filled, for sure. I'll be up in Sacramento for a while and then I have friends coming for a long weekend. There is a parade of birthdays to be celebrated in February, including my own.
Right now, I love that I can see from my office window when the mailman arrives.
Right now, I think about Paul coming home and I start to cry. I imagine texting our friends and family while I wait in anxious excitement for him to get off the plane. I imagine seeing him in real life and getting butterflies in my stomach. I remember getting the same butterflies when I worked in Georgetown and knew he was coming to pick me up to go to dinner. I would be in the middle of helping a customer and he'd come in un-noticed. Then I'd catch his eye and my stomach would flip. And that was after we'd spent only nine hours apart.
Right now, I fall asleep thinking about my morning coffee. I think that might be considered an addiction.
Right now, I am a fan of Once Upon a Time. It's a pretty rad show. It has similar music to Lost which is kinda freaking me out. I also watched the first episodes of Smash and Alcatraz. Of all of them, Alcatraz seems like the one Paul would be willing to add to our weekly line up. So that's exciting.
Right now, I look forward to seeing this new documentary, SOMM. Should be amazing. I feel like it will be one of our favorites. And one of those movies (like Bottleshock) that cannot be enjoyed without a few bottles of wine and a plate of cheese.
Right now, I go to the beach everyday. Sometimes to run. Sometimes to look for driftwood. Sometimes to walk. Sometimes just to stare at the waves. I have purposely never watched a complete sunset. I actually turn my back on them and head to the house if I am ever caught on the beach at the wrong time. I promised Paul that is something we'd do while toasting our new place and our return to normal life together.
Right now, I am content. But oh man, am I counting the days.
Want to promote your blog or business on my sidebar? I am currently taking sponsors for February. January was awesome traffic-wise and I expect next month to be the same. I've got the 26 projects to wrap up and a lot of good stuff happening. Go here for details and shoot me an email if you're interested.
