I\u2019m praying to the Monster gods this morning, but so far they don\u2019t seem to be listening. When will I learn that three hours of sleep just does NOT cut it? Apparently never. Ok, so maybe that\u2019s a slight<\/em> exaggeration. Maybe I should just go with I might learn once Tim and I are no longer maintaining two households, I\u2019m not fitting in my photography around a full-time job\/school\/family, I\u2019m worrying about my health, I\u2019m not worrying about Tim\u2019s<\/em> health, Tim\u2019s out of school, I\u2019m<\/em> out of school, THE KIDS<\/em> are out of school\u2026 Yeah, I\u2019m pretty sure there\u2019s a lot more I could add to that list, so perhaps it\u2019s not that much of an exaggeration after all.<\/p>\n

Ash passed on Schnoz Plague 2014 to me, because apparently she is all about giving to others right now. And this would, of course, be AFTER she killed our tissue reserves. So, I may be telling the therapist tonight that we need to rethink this whole \u201csharing\u201d thing she has Ash working on. Sometimes you really can share too much, IMHO.<\/p>\n

Graduation is next week for both Z-boy and Tim, which reminds me that I haven\u2019t accomplished anywhere near what I wanted to this past month. I had an awesome list of all the things I wanted to get done before the arrival of Hurricane Tim\u2019s Mom, like remove a layer (or two) of dust in my apartment, uncover the source of the eau de Marley that still plagues me (after what, a year now?), clear out the forest floor that is my balcony, and hit the gym. HARD. Sadly, none of those things have been done, especially that last one. I had a grand goal of being down at least ten pounds by now. Unfortunately, with everything we had going on this month, and my recent diverticulitis diagnosis, the gym has been one of the last things on my mind. So, last night, as I was figuring out my wardrobe for next week (bcuz even though I feel like crap, I am still going to look damn good for both events), I realized I have to become reacquainted with my old \u201cfriend\u201d Spanx. And to be honest, I had hoped we cut our ties for good after the last time. *sigh*<\/p>\n

My first senior session is nearly put to bed. YAY ME. I admit that I was thoroughly freaked out when I first started this project, even though it was 100% my idea (and my grad gift to the senior). After the first round of images was finished, I felt fairly positive about the session. But I also felt it needed more, like a new outfit, a new location, etc, so we scheduled a second round. Those images are nearly finished now, and my outlook on the session has gone from fairly positive to DAMN I\u2019M GOOD. I had a blast working with this senior, and I honestly think I captured his personality. I also found areas of my work that could use some improvement, but I am taking them for what they are \u2013 learning tools. Some of you know what a perfectionist I am when it comes to my photography, so for me to accept a self-critique like that is HUGE.<\/p>\n

Ok, I guess it\u2019s time to get back to work. Short work weeks have their pros and cons, that\u2019s for sure. As I wrap up this latest edition of This is My Life \u2013 It Could Always be Worse*<\/em>, I\u2019ll leave you with this parting thought:<\/p>\n

Lately, I wonder what shower sex looks like with a height difference.<\/p>\n

For a friend.<\/p>\n
