Waiting

"Waiting", originally uploaded by boyshapedbox.

I picked this photo from my collection because it is exactly how I feel right now.

Today is my last day of work before I leave for vacation. Tomorrow Phil and I fly to Long Beach, CA and then board the cruise ship and sail away on the Lazy Bear Mexican Riviera trip for a week of relaxation. And it couldn't come at a better time.

Work has been very stressful lately. I'm working on a very tough project that is both technically challenging, mentally challenging, and seems to just keep getting wrenches thrown into it causing massive changes at every turn. I was very excited about the project at first, and still am, but I feel a little defeated about the whole situation. I'll get into that more once the project launches and I can talk about it.

I've been working late all this week and haven't had very much time to get things organized, pack, and shop for things I've forgotten. This is only making the day drag on slower due to me having only tonight to buy things.....

...like a suitcase.

(I have one, but the outer layer is ripped and I am scared the inner liner might follow.)


I haven't been writing much, and noticed a few people defriending me. I figure this is the case, although I don't understand why. It's not like I'm cluttering up anyone's friends list's with my invisible posts. Lately I've been finding I'm able to express myself and my creativity through photography, so this journal may naturally turn a little more picture heavy.

If you don't like my photo's please feel free to defriend me, but it's my journal and way of communicating, and if that's the language I choose to use for a while, then I say deal with it. What hurt can a few photo's a day do?

The next time you'll hear from me, I will be relaxed, tanned, and wishing I was back in Mexico.
