i married such a handyman, part ii

I have Ben Lee playing, the lights are low, Mike is out at work, and I've just finished cleaning the house. I feel I should have glass of wine in my hand. Ordinary day, really, but Mike is still on his home improvement kick. He finished installing a can light over our sink today. There was so much dust and crap all over the place, but I think in the end it will be so worthwhile. The builders did not offer an option for this and the end result was that the corner that the sink is in was really dark. How many times in the beginning did I think I'd cleaned something and then once it was dry realised I had missed a spot?? We've had a desk lamp on the window sill above the sink to compensate, but this is just really sharp. So excited.

I've been super busy doing some contractual graphic design for my old job the last couple of weeks. This was something I was doing as part of my job while I still worked there, and when I left they asked me to continue with the quarterly newsletter and any other graphic design they might require. I finished a brochure a week ago and the newsletter on Thursday, and I've sent the two invoices to them, so hopefully I'll be getting those checks pretty soon. I like doing this stuff on the side. Really want to keep it up and develop it more into a side business.

On a completely irrelevant note, tomorrow I plan on going for a two mile run. It really is time that I started getting myself back in shape. it's been difficult to keep it up while the weather hasn't been so nice, and also just being so exhausted with my new job hasn't helped.
