Done.

You may have been aware (from my near constant whining) that I was putting together a gigantic project at work: a week-long lecture and panel discussion symposium leading up to a giant exhibition and artist and fancy people-filled opening reception. This project — I was told after I was five weeks of 10-hour days into it — has been organized in the past by the person in my position and a part time assistant hired for the project. OH THANK YOU. After most of the work has been done and everything has been set into motion, I’m told that I should have hired some help.

Anyhow… lots of work, lots of stress and long days, and I left in the middle for a week-long vacation to St. Martin which was incredibly difficult but so completely necessary. I have been dreading and looking forward to the opening for so long and this past Friday it happened. Oh boy did it happen. Record-breaking crowds, many happy faces, and it all went off without a hitch. I worked from 8:30am to 10:30 pm on Friday and by the time I got home my feet were so sore, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to walk ever again. I was able to take a couple of days off to rest and recuperate, and I’m wondering what will fill my every waking second of thought now that the opening is over. What did I do before this exhibition came into my life? What was it like to actually have a lunch break? I don’t remember, but I look forward to trying it out again.

I need those shoes for my swing class. Are you done with them now that the event is over?

Weellll…you could read the book you’re supposed to read for book club! That’s an idea! : )

I totally understand about being crazed at work. I’m in a zone right now for the next couple of months that has every chance of driving me out of my flippin’ mind.

Paula- I wish you had been logged in as Karlo, that would have made my week! They’re super comfy shoes, I love them. I got them at Marshall’s, they’re Naturalizers.

Amanda- Smartypants… I’m reading our BBCS book right now and I actually love it. I’m sorry that my stress has ended and yours is just beginning. You know what makes a stressful workday all better? Candy corn. Is it too late to stock up?
