Literal Walls, Figurative Doors
Dec. 8th, 2010 12:26 pmI got my keys for the studio last night, and got to see it with the floor finish and some of the paint in place. It's already worlds better than it was when we first looked at the space, so I'm pretty damned giddy about that. I'm sure my excitement didn't show much on the outside, because it's been a very stressful and work-heavy week, but oh, this is so, so good.
Having a studio again is certainly one of those things that doesn't sink in right away, but we paint walls tonight, and tomorrow is Moving Day. I'm not sure how much of *my* stuff I'll be moving tomorrow, because I have about eleventy-billion edits I need to do, and I don't know when we'll have internet. But, once I have my workstation moved over, and start working there? It's going to be AWESOME.
Doors feel like they may be opening in the areas I've been waiting for. I'm so overworked right now, but in spite of the stress, I'm actually in a good mood. I'm eating well, staying active, sleeping through my nights reasonably well... there's so much to do, but it's going to be worth the blood, sweat, and tears. Just having more than one direction I could go in is encouraging enough on its own.
There are already times when I feel like I'm completely ignoring my personal life, but there are some parts of that which can certainly be put on hold. (i.e. dating) But eh, it's only a couple of weeks of death-by-work, and the important folks will still be there when the dust settles.
I feel like such a sap posting this sort of thing, lately. XD But eh, might as well do what I can to combat LJ's rep for being the One True Home of Internet Wangst.
