Somedays you just can't win.

Some days, it's just hard to see beyond the difficulty and to rise above the occasion. Had a designer who left us on Fri and it struck me as impossibly sad right after she left. I just couldn't quite go on doing my work as usual. It just seemed too cold and unfeeling to simply pick up where we'd left off. She gave me a real cute turtle coaster (how uncanny!) which i'll leave at work and use frequently.
Friday started on a high note. I was excited. Happy to call it an end to the week. Work went smoothly enough but as the work day drew to a close i just felt strangely nostalgic .... in a strange "grey's" kinda chill-out mood and the pull to visit that Starbucks outlet was just too strong.

I did and i purchased a new cup. Transparent except for the emblem in front. Proud of it. The more i'm looking at it, the more i like it now..it will take pride of place on my table at home..

I think the strange melancholy i felt on Fri has to do with no one being around at home anymore. It's too huge a home to find it empty! Wish my parents would just come back quick. It's so amazingly hard to reach anyone to meet them on short notice these days! Argh.. and again a new week is gonna start soon.. new challenges .. always on the run. When can i say i'm really on top of everything?!

Welcome to my world. I come home to an empty house EVERYDAY and I can understand what you are going through. That is why on most days I crave a companion.
