Tom & Alissa

We’ve both had a lot of projects brewing and heaped upon us - lots of ideas and casting around for more. We’ve been studying and learning a lot. Tom’s been busy (but he’s better at detailing it all than I am) - running around town for meetings and work stuff and even catered again this week, which was kind of weird, but cool. He brought home calla lilies!

My first big print magazine feature is due this weekend, and because of circumstances, I’ve been scrambling to catch up. I’m pretty happy with the result - I’ll let you know when and where it appears when the time draws nearer. I have a big component to code into the IAM site by the beginning of next month so it can be tested in time for launch on November 15. I started at Girls’ Guide to City Life yesterday, and there’s been a bunch of editing work at Relevant. And I have a few article ideas brewing in my noggin that want to get out, plus an exciting top-secret project on which I can (thankfully) can spend as much time as necessary.

And oh, right, I have a day job, and after a sleepy summer the work has suddenly picked up again - prototyping and proofreading and even some Javascript, which is a departure from my normal work. I’ve managed to put out a few fires and avoid a few more, and that makes me happy. I wasn’t feeling well on Tuesday morning, so in order to avoid the subways I stayed home and worked - and it was amazing how productive I was without these darn fluorescent lights. I like working from home - especially being able to eat lunch with my husband.

But being busy is better than being idle, and I can feel some kind of momentum building. It’s good.
