ugh.

work is consuming my life. and it's a drain on my brain in such a way that it leaves no synapsys free for creative, non-work endeavors. sad. i suffer, you suffer, the creative world suffers. a lose-lose-lose situation if i ever saw one.

but, there are certain things that help me make it through the day:

lemon yogurt. at 3pm, it doesn't get much more refreshing or energy-boosting.

the thought of gathering with friends i've had for more than half my life to eat this food and drink this beer tonight.

knowing that in fourteen short days i'll be basking in these temperatures.

the fact that even monkeys share my sentiment.
