103.94 days! Told myself I would go to bed early tonight, yet here I am I’m having too much fun with my camera.
Check this out, my shy & awkward ass actually commented on a local cityscape photographer’s Instagram (his stuff is insane). Anyway, we struck up conversation, so he checked out my pages and he loves my work. So, we’ve been messaging and he’s going to help me out. I’m so excited. I feel like a pain, but he’s just been so lovely. So I do storm and cityscape, turns out he does the same. I thought he was just cityscape. So exciting. I can’t believe how much joy being back in photography is bringing me. It’s been a long time. I feel like me again. I want to stand on a damn mountain and yodel lol.
Ok, I’ll shut up. Happy sober dreams and much love sober fam-a-lam
Yay! Living life large with full and happy heart and taking risks - but safe and sober ones - and following your passion!
I think your sober fam-a-lam, me included, is yodeling you on from the sidelines!
Seriously, this is so heartwarming to read
Day 71.
Back to work today. I’m pretty beat - tired from the weekend, and had a bit o’ stress (okay, what feels like a mountain) thrown my way today both at work and from life, but no thoughts of drinking. Part of my mind wants to stay up and write “what if” stories late into the night, along with “why didn’t you do [insert something more productive than stress out] today”, but I’m going to take a hot bath and try to get a decent sleep instead, and will tackle the mountain tomorrow, one step at a time.
Some days, the struggle is accepting that I just might not meet everyone else’s expectations, or many of them - but hey, maybe the real work is to accept that I meet my own. I’m working on it!
You did good today. No, you did great. You kept going and kept your eyes on the prize. I’m not sure what happened with your day, but I hope whatever it is sorts itself out.
There are a lot of trees that got blown down just like this one. It’s just been nuts. I had an appointment to sign the papers for my refinance this morning and just as I was about ready to leave the title company tells me that they haven’t gotten the paperwork from the bank we’re doing the refinance with. After many phone calls on my end, the bank got a hold of the title company and said they were working on it. So I got the name and number of the person who had gotten a hold of the title company (because no one actually called me) and asked what was going on.
Apparently FEMA had declared a natural disaster in the area that I live in due to the wind because there was wind up to 90mph (though in my area it was more like 50-70mph) and there was greater destruction in that area than what you see in the picture. So the bank told me that because of that they had to have it re-appraised and I was kind of like…
Somehow they were able to work it out so that we could still close today, but it was quite the day. The wind is still howling outside, which honestly will not be fun when I go to bed because of my particular PTSD issues, but hey… at least a big tree didn’t fall on my car or on my house!
I’m having too much fun with my camera.
perfect I get all worked up… hives and all. Good luck I’m sure you’ll rock it!!
