A moment to breathe

Today is another day. I woke up early this morning and had a bright energy for doing some things that need to be done.

I've been having trouble finding moments to breathe lately. My job keeps me occupied for more than 10 of my daily hours (though part of that is lunch, but I'm still away from home due to work) and that leaves me with 2 to 2-1/2 hours to myself in the evening in which to get everything else done. Sadly, I'm a person who needs 10 hours of sleep a night to function well, so that seriously cuts into my spare time. I've become great friends with the veterinarian at my work, and I'm really enjoying the company of both she, her wife, and their little boy. It's a welcome friendship because we're working through a lot of clique issues in my office and at the moment, there's the clique, and then there's me. I'm quite excluded, and it wears me down sometimes. Other times I deal quite well, though. Strangely enough, one of my greatest sources of comfort in this world is 16,000 miles away, but thanks to the wonders of internet phones, I can talk to him and see him for free. Yay, Skype.

Acoustalyn is going well; we have some challenges, but we're growing and improving bit by bit. We're having more shows, and more opportunities.

I'm doing my laundry at the moment so I'm off to get that in a few. Today I meet up with the owner of Northwest Rescue to transfer a little grey FIV+ kitty that I rescued. He's a dear... anyone interested in adopting a very handsome and friendly kitty?

My friend Tiffany lost her dear Lab a few weeks ago; she's been devastated. But the Universe moves on, as always, and here's a webcam of her new puppy. Which one? She hasn't chosen yet. But it'll be the dark blue ribbon, the light blue ribbon, or the gold ribbon.
