Tired

/ Nathan Lavertue / Leave a comment

I was away from the office for, oh, about 10 hours. This was after putting in 15.  It’s been a long week… and I’m sure Jodi is still saying, where are my damn photos! I know girl, I’m just really really really busy! It’s good to be busy, I suppose… it’s allowing me to jump up a little bit, financially speaking. But, I also feel the overworking is becoming a little unhealthy. I’m going to work on that. If I end up here, I don’t want to be getting sick all the time from working. That just won’t cut it. We’ll see.

Concerts… so many to see. I really do enjoy live music.

Crazy

There is something about this month I’m just not comfortable with yet… it’s gotten me stirred up the last two weekends. I definitely need to get out of the city soon. Take a mental break, and relax. The dreams started again, and that’s not helping. Two more weeks until Dad’s birthday, and their trip to PR. Still at Sony this upcoming week… not sure how long it will last. Maybe it will turn into a permanent thing. Who knows. I know, wherever and whenever I get work, I’m pushing the start date out a week. It will be the week where I go some where, any where, and have myself a true vacation.
