Out of Touch



I've caught a cold...and have been progressively getting worse as the week goes on.  Yesterday was a very long day - I spent about three hours outside, shooting video and gathering interviews of passersby of a Veterans Memorial that was vandalized (conveniently on the 5 year anniversary of the Iraq War - do note the sarcasm).  After those elements were gathered, some video shot for another reporter, and an inhaled PB&J, I had about an hour (I think?? it was somewhere between an hour-fifteen and 45 minutes) to edit a story that was about a minute and a half long.  Wish I had more time to edit that package and make it better...such is daily news. Once I finished that, I flew back to where the memorial was to assist with a live shot- first one for me!!  Went well, I believe, or well enough.  After all of that, when I got home last night I was beat, broken, busted - my whole body ached and I went to bed at 8:45 and slept straight til 10am. Luckily I was able to do that as today's schedule was for me to work nightside (1:30p-10:30p).  

I'm able to drop a post real quick now before I hit the floor again, to hopefully get some more rest before running some errands tomorrow morning and getting to work for the nightside once more.  

There are several things I'd like to post about, but don't really feel up to writing a rant at the moment - "Pillow" is calling me!  Instead, I'll just post a few pictures of the sunset over at Hannah Cove this past Monday evening.  Freakin' gorgeous - so beautiful.  Ok...so there may be more than just a "few" pictures...I took a lot...I couldn't help it! It was so pretty!!

Enjoy!!


                                  

                                  

                                  

                            

                            

                            

                            

                            

I wish I knew why these pictures aren't posting vertically like they should be. My apologies!

So sorry you have been sick! PLEASE take care of yourself...have a "hot toddy"! The pictures sure are beautiful........is that a working railroad? Also you'll have to explain the shot that looks like some sort of tunnel. Love, Mom
