Argh. Work is very, very busy right now. We’re in the final stages of rolling out new legislation and it’s exhausting. My manager took today as a vacation day, and I was up until 3am last night stressing – not working, mind you, just stressing – about finishing my essays. I have some extreme angst about choking, which is not being helped by the fact that I’m choking. <\/p>\n

Justin and I are also getting prepared for our current roommate in Weston to move out, and a new roommate (friend of JVL’s from high school) to move in. Except we’ve decided to give her different rooms, and reclaim the second floor all for ourselves. Which means, of course, the horrors of packing and reorganizing and preparing for a huge garage sale either next weekend or the weekend after.
\n(, , I know you’re feeling our pain) <\/p>\n

And, as a last straw, I really need to get cracking on renting out my condo. Clearly, since I’m having extreme focus difficulties with doing schoolwork there during the crunch, it’s time to let my dream of a dedicated school space go and make money from it. Plus, I wake up every morning, start getting dressed, and then no matter which bedroom I’m in, or what sock I put on first, the other half of the pair is inevitably in the laundry pile at the other residence.<\/p>\n

So, as a relaxation technique, I tried to make something pretty. Here’s an artsy postcard I made for the Snail<\/a> last night. I was trying for ‘clean, contemporary and not purple’, but somehow it has a distinct flavour of ‘s designs. Which is really very complimentary, if you think about it. I also designed a shirt that I’m rather proud of, which has a more retro-seventies graphic feel to it, but I’m not posting the graphics because it’s a surprise for .<\/p>\n

Hope everyone else is having a less stressful time than me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
