Light and Shadow
I think I'm getting the hang of this photography thing. At least a little. I had a lot of fun today playing with light and shadows and the like. My favorite result is at the right. There are lots of other pictures, but I'm limiting myself to no more than two an entry. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't do a photo gallery of sorts. If I decide to, though, it'll have to wait until after I get the new domain up and running.
selkie.net. Whee. My mind is whirling with ideas for what to do with all that space (MY space, a part of my brain cackles maniacally). I can't seem to grab anything and actually focus on it. I know what I want to put for the main index page, but it's something that's currently beyond my coding skills. So I get to learn something new. I'm just wishing I hadn't given myself the deadline of the 1st. Then again, if I hadn't, I'd never get the thing up and running.
My weekend is over, again. Gah. Working six days a week is getting very very old, even if I am only working half days on Saturdays. I know I'm not getting enough rest, but that's only part of it. I feel rushed all the time, as if I never have enough time to myself. Sitting here right now, my brain keeps insisting that I must have another day off tomorrow, which of course, I don't. If I feel this way after three weeks, how am I going to be come April?
I'm grateful, at least, that things at work have been moderately calm and slow. Well, I mean, we're busy, but it's not an overstressed sort of busy. Just tired of the long hours I suppose. But, I have next Saturday off. So what am I doing with it? Driving up to play Changeling, apparently. Which is a good thing in and of itself.
I went out to visit my mom and stepdad this afternoon. I hadn't seen my mom since Christmas, really, and I think we were both a little antsy to see each other. I, of course, showed off my camera, and we took a lot of pictures, most of which are never going to see the light of day. The above, however, was taken out their back door. They live on a lake, which is, of course, frozen over right now. It's a very peaceful place to visit. We didn't talk about anything earthshattering, but that's sometimes best too. For now, I feel peaceful and a little sleepy, even if it does seem like I should have tomorrow off.
