10-20-14 to 10-23-14

It's remarkable how utterly exhausting this week, my first full week back at work, was. If I could've gotten in the bed every night at 6pm, I probably would've. 

Every day starts at 5:30am. Showers get taken, people get dressed, breakfasts get made and eaten, Leo gets walked, lunches get packed and we all get out the door at 6:55am. 

6:55am used to be a magical time at Casa Story.  Everybody left, and I enjoyed peace and quiet with the Washington Post, Matt Lauer and a cup of coffee. 

Those carefree mornings are but a warm memory now. 

The job's going well enough, and for that I'm thankful.
