Phew! It's been a crazy week. I got stuck working two night shifts next week with not a whole lot of break between that and my day shift. I may have worked less hours, but I am still recovering from the lack of sleep.
I don't do well without sleep.
And then yesterday, when I was supposed to be posting last week's photos, I spent three and a half hours at the car dealership for them to tell me that I wouldn't have my car for a week while they replace the transmission. At least it's warranty work.
Anyway, this is going somewhere, I promise. Basically I'm giving you all my excuses for why I'm a) a day late, and b) using cell phone pictures this week.
I had originally planned to do every picture for my 365 with my DLSR, but quite frankly that wasn't doable this week. My week happened at work, and I can't exactly carry my DSLR around at Sam's and stop work to shoot some pictures. So, although the quality makes me cringe, I'm using some cell phone pictures.
Whew, I'm a bit long winded today, aren't I? Let's get to the pictures.
1-22-14: Before all the craziness, I spent my Saturday afternoon at an adoption event at Tails Spin in Pooler hanging out with this cool guy and a few other sweet adoptables. Fulton (the guy in the picture) is a complete lover, and he was posing for pictures left and right. He also licked my lens at one point. Nothing like a little dog slobber to make your pictures sharp, huh?
1-23-14: Sunday I went over to some friends' house to do a lifestyle photo shoot with them. I've wanted to do this silhouette shot for some time, I just hadn't found the right subjects and situation. I love the way this turned out.
1-24-14: Yes, it's supposed to be upside down. My hubby convinced me to go for a jog with him Monday. Let me just say, I don't jog. I was so sore/tired/defeated by the end of this jog that I pretty much collapsed on the floor afterwards. Once I recovered, I decided to do some yoga for my poor, poor muscles. Jerry seemed to think it was a game and was running around all over the place, so I took this shot: my view from downward facing dog.
1-25-14: Que the night shift. This was my "rockin' the night shift" selfie for instagram that I took on the first night when I was consuming way too much caffeine and driving a forklift around 'cause I was bored.
1-26-14: After work I thought I'd go home and crash. I curled up on the couch and Jerry joined me. I was exhausted! But I was so amped up on caffeine still that I couldn't sleep. And Jerry's nose was constantly in my face, so that didn't help much. I ended up watching I Love Lucy all day instead.
1-27-14: My last nightshift was dragging on by the end. I was still full of caffeine and spent most of the night jamming out to The Fratelli's, but as the last hour came I was losing steam. I tried to entertain myself by doodling one a post-it note.
1-28-14: This was my recovery day, also spent on the couch watching I Love Lucy (I've decided I'm in love with Ricky Ricardo). This time Gizmo kept me company.
Like I said, it's was a crazy week. This one is off to a rough start, but I'm hoping for smooth sailing from here on out. We will see. Until then I've got some serious house cleaning to do, so that's all for today!
