When the Kaiser anti stress radio ad makes you break down and weep in your car it might be time to take a vacation.

I'm having one of those days that really feels like no matter how hard you work and how good you do there really is no reward for it. Feeling really beaten down. I should really stop focusing my effort into bottomless wells where every effort just disappears. Or at least baby step into being able to ask for help instead of always giving it and leaving nothing left for myself.

Ooo, sorry I have been MIA lately. Big news and things going on at work right now. I don't feel like this is a place I feel comfortable talking about work so just ask me for the details in person next time you see me. Without getting into it let me just say things are a bit up in the air right now and I'm not sure how the cards are going to land. All this uncertainty is very stressful and I'm afraid I've been letting it get to me. Last week was intense to say the least. On Wed. night I went to Palm Springs for the night to wake up very early and start work on our photo shoot. I am pretty confident we got some great shots and I'm really looking forward to seeing them. On Saturday I got together with Maureen who is getting into photography and was asking for people to pose for her. We went to a few locations and I think she got some beautiful shots. I'll post some below. Then in the evening I went over to Liz's for a screening of Showgirls. I had only ever seen the R rated version over 10 years ago. Oh my, that movie is so bad that is really crosses over to good. It was a lot of fun watching it with a group of people a well. Then on Sunday I watched some movies and did some drawing. I couldn't believe how fast the week ended. Today I took my car in to be serviced and took the bus to work. Man, not one of my favorite things to do. Tomorrow I'm going to get a rental.
