Home!
My husband's coming home tonight! /squeeeee
He's only been gone for a month this time, but I'm just as thrilled to have him back as when he's been gone longer^^
Even better, I'm off today and tomorrow!
Didn't get much work done in the last night due to being completely exhausted when I got home from work. We were pretty busy yesterday morning- 23+ clients from 9-3 (I did 13 haircuts). I didn't have a chance to sit down until 2:30 and my feet were screaming dire threats of murder and worse by the time I clocked out for the day at 3:30. Great day though- met some lovely people and came home to homemade gyros! <3 gyros! So, so yummy!
Still, no surprise that I was hobbling badly all night since I've beaten the stuffing and support out of my current work flats. Good thing I'm saving up for a pair of Danskos- but that's still two paychecks away, or 3 weeks. /sigh If I do well at GNEW next week I should be able to get them earlier If. If, if, if......
Not sure how much studio time I'll be able to squeeze in today- errands, laundry (I hate laundry, so I let it pile up until it's impossible to ignore), a good friend coming over this afternoon and than picking Adam up at Logan. Oh, and I need fit my hair touch up in there somewhere.
Best to get on with it, I suppose. May the Road Rise!

<snicker> I am constantly being amazed by my son's stubborn efforts to avoid any parental or even adult troll critique of his room's state of cleanliness. For most of June I have been slowly going through the house and organizing it. One room at a time, and next up is Munchkin's room.
He very seriously just told me that he wants to clean his room himself. While I'm not one to discourage my child from doing so- I'm not sure if he's hoping I'll be so impressed by his initiative that I'll find his efforts acceptable or forget about the matter entirely. Considering my and his father's response to his scholastic efforts this term, he really should know better. /parental gleeful laughter
Child cleanliness lessons aside, it's been a fairly productive week so far. I am quite pleased with my efforts last night. I heat tempered 5 glasses and painted another 5, as well as framed two paintings. Go me!
Talen, my youngest cat is going crazy at the window next to me- there are a bunch of birds outside loudly taunting him. I seriously think he's about ready to burst through the screen window and go "larn dem birds sum mannahs".

Céad Míle Fáilte!
A hundred thousand welcomes to you!
It's been ages since I've been so happy to see you, Monday! Thank you for arriving so promptly after Sunday, but then you're always punctual, which this tired girl appreciates greatly this morning. Now, if only the rest of the week can go as smoothly as today is starting out, I will be delighted!
As you can probably tell- I've had one of THOSE weeks at work. Fortunately, my home life didn't decide to go pear shaped on me at the same time. In all honesty it was just a really, really, REAAAALLLLY long week at work. One of my coworkers has been ill and was unable to work two days last week and I was asked to cover her shifts on Monday and Thurs last week, giving up one of my days off in the process. On the one hand I'm delighted for more hours, on the other I'm fried. So, K being able to switch shifts with me today is a Godsend.
It's a gorgeous day out too, perfect weather for going hiking later on^^
This evening will be studio time- I have several pieces that need to be heat tempered and two paintings that I need to do final touch ups on and set back in their frames. Not to mention all the paperwork I need to get in order for GNEW in two weeks.
My second official event as a vendor! I'm ridiculously excited- and terrified. Nooo, not thinking about that. I refuse to give in to nerves! At least, not until after I get back from GNEW on the 10th.
/sigh Enough procrastinating. The House Troll has yet to surface for the day, so those dishes aren't going to wash themselves. /grumble
Enjoy your day!
