Lost in OK

People were telling me all day that I looked really tired. I guess I see what they mean. More sleep would be nice.

On busy days like today, I’m thrilled that my house if full of knickknacks. Meet Coco, the incense holder.

I forgot my real camera today, so I am stuck with a lousy picture of the rain today.

We are finally all prepared for Alex to move in. Of course, this now necessitates that I finally completely vacate the library which is going to become his room. I’m just amazed that I found places for all of the stuff I had crammed in this room. ;) Can’t wait for Alex to start filling it back up.

It’s amazing how much a good bike ride can improve a day. I always know that my work day is going to be a bit better when I see these shoes tucked under my desk. I just wish I would be better about going to bed on time, then this would be a more frequent sight.

OK, it is admittedly a bit of a desperation shot but thankfully the time between my desperation shots is getting father apart instead of closer. In any case, these two always make me smile when I open the refrigerator.

I had several framed photos to ship out today so I made stop at the local UPS store. They had this huge back of packing peanuts sitting in the corner. I had to resist the temptation to buy the whole bag, take them home, fill the bathtub with them and leap in. Or maybe see if I could fill a Mini Cooper with them.

It was just a non-stop frantic day of meetings, errands, tasks and toils. When I finally got a glimpse of my pillow, I was so excited. It may sound like I’m complaining, but really, it was a good day. A day of frantic effort when combined with measurable accomplishments is always a thing to be desired. Plus you can always count on a good night’s sleep on a day like this.

No real story here. I just liked the strong shadow falling across the carpet in the office.

I caught this picture at a local diner called Beverly’s. Waitstaff have a particularly clear way of expressing exhaustion through their body language which I think is captured in this picture.

My day was also a bit physically taxing but really good. We spent the morning getting a bunch of furniture moved into our house including Alex’s bed. Thankfully I was able to do basically nothing for the rest of the afternoon. :)
