Katie Doyle, Girl About Town

Hello, gentle readers -

Can I say how very much it sucks to be stuck inside, in a windowless cave of a room, all day, when outside, the world is wonderful and bright and warm and all swirly with activity?

Well, it does.

This schedule sucks. I work from about 3pm to 1 or 2 am. When I get home, I can't sleep, so until about 6 or so in the a.m., I do stuff like write Diaryland entries, catch up on mail, wash clothes, clean the kitchen, make jewelry, etc. Then I sleep until somewhere between noon and 2, depending on how freakin' tired I am or what needs to be done before I get to the Batcave. Meanwhile, the weather in the early evenings here is absolutely stupendous and happy right now. Just the kind of weather that makes me happy to be alive in summer and feel like I'm still 20, with not a care in the world except for whether or not I'll get cast in the next play and rewriting that damn English paper for my high maintenance professor for the umpeen millionth time. ::sigh:: Those were the days. It's too bad we don't realize it while we're in 'em and take the time to savor them. I want to be in them again. Which is why I killed myself to get the landscape design in and continue killing myself to launch my own business(es), so that I don't have to keep punching a timeclock in a cave, working at stuff I hate for people I will never meet, who are getting filthy rich off of my endeavors. Being a tiny cog in a giant wheel is less than fulfilling, especially on a day like today. I want to be a big cog in a little wheel. One that takes a spin to Europe or Vegas now and again and has fun. Yeah, that kind of wheel.

But for now, I guess I'll have to pine away for carefree sun and look forward to my two weeks in Paris next month.

C'est la vie.

Peace out,
Katie
