Aaaaagggghhh
Dec. 21st, 2012 11:22 amI am so glad it's Friday that I can't even express it. The past seven days have been largely great--well, except for the part where I've had zero energy and snot coming out of my face for the majority of it.
Last Friday, I finally got to go to Bagby Hot Springs for the first time--I did a half-day photoshoot that began at 8:30am (ugh), and I knew I had a party-and-work-filled weekend ahead of me, so I decided to take the afternoon off. It was just a small cluster of folks who went, but it was all the outdoorsy, relax-y fun I'd come to expect, based on other people's tales of the place.
Sometime after I got home on Friday night, the slight fever set in, and oh, there began the misery. I took a very lazy Saturday morning, packed the studio for moving, and felt largely okay when it came time for Infusion Party and my Team Sleepover, respectively. That didn't last, though--come Sunday, when it was time for the movers to show up, I wanted to fall over dead.
Moving day, and the days following, have been all about pushing through illness and exhaustion. This week was loaded with things, and I wasn't sick enough to be non-functional--just sick enough to be functional and miserable.
The good news is, I'm all moved into the new studio, and I've had two shoots there already, both of which went pretty swimmingly. I really like the place, and everyone who's come to visit has responded really well. It's still a fair bit messier than I wanted it to be by this point, but I've been so tired and busy with work that just getting the minimum set up was all I could manage.
I did finally feel like I had some of my energy back last night, thanks to a well-timed nap, and had a really fun team practice that included scrimmaging with dudes, and a positively delicious jam that had me as the jammer, pulling down points and calling it off like a boss. It's my not-so-secret hope to dual-class, and although the team seems to be training me primarily as a blocker, I'd like to keep working on my jamming. I'll have to grab more opportunities when they present themselves.
Anyhoo, I'm heading out of town next week, and this time, I'm taking a plane. I'm insanely grateful for having made that choice, because that much driving sounds utterly exhausting, right now.
