What day is it again?

For those who are interested, I will be returning to my regularly-scheduled daily progress posts on my workouts and meals next Tuesday when I get back from my mini-break road trip to Atlanta with Chris.

We’ve been in crunch (e.g. working 10 am - 10 pm six or seven days a week) for the past three weeks getting ready to send out the alpha build of our PSP game project for Konami.  I worked 12-15 hours a day for the last week, including this weekend.  I am tired beyond belief and surrounded by coughing, snuffling, diseased co-workers who lack my hardy daily-vitamin-fortified constitution. I begin to regret donating blood yesterday when the Bloodmobile pulled into the office complex, but the lure of a free $10 Darden Restaurants gift certificate was too much to resist. I’ll have to be sure to get plenty of rest and fluids over the next few days to ward off whatever mysterious virus is striking down the other people in my company.

For now, I would just like to have enough off-time to enjoy 7 hours of solid sleep per night, get a hair cut, restock my fridge and pantry, cook some meals, get my vegetable garden under control, and return to a regular workout and nutrition schedule. I also need to take my new used car in for some new tires, too.

On the bright side, I just received a $125 rebate check from Acuvue for the contact lenses I bought with my pretax flexible spending account money back in April.

Lots of seed envelope patterns

I’ve rediscovered my love of Adobe Illustrator and have made some more cut-and-glue seed packet envelope patterns for the heck of it.

Here’s a shot of the small flower printed envelopes:
