Or, maybe, this is my boyfriend. He’s irritated at me though. He wants me to quit sticking that massive black flashy thing in his face.

He’s my boyfriend.

I love my new camera., originally uploaded by phae.

It’s probably a bad idea to take pictures of ones’ self at midnight in the bathroom mirror.

She’s got ‘em. They get me every time.

Doesn’t she look so sweet? She is! All except for when she’s peeing on the floor.

I love my new 50mm lens. I got it today but didn’t get a chance to play with it until tonight- when it was nice and orange in my house.

This week I have a lot of work. Probably more than I want or need. I guess people are starting to gear up for the holiday season, or perhaps their kids are back to school so they can concentrate on what needs to happen for their businesses again. I’m glad for the work but a little overwhelmed. Lot’s of it is small projects so I’ll be able to check it all off fairly quickly and call myself productive. I hope.

I’ve been struggling with my mystery illness again, as mentioned a few times recently. It makes me mad. I was really hoping this wouldn’t happen. I see my doc at the end of this week, we’ll see what he says about me getting sick again. He seemed pretty convinced I was just depressed and my illness was psychosomatic but I’m still taking his happy pills and here I am, twitching- in pain, having the eyesight and hearing problems, and feeling disoriented and disconnected from my legs. Hrmy hrm.

Also, my foot- the one with the neuroma and broken bone, it’s buggin’. Bad. Here’s what I’m thinking. I think I’m going to work through the end of October and then take November and December “off” except for photog jobs. I need to have my foot operated on. I’ve put it off far too long. (Seven years!) I need to have some dental work done. I need to find out what in the world is ailing me. I’m going to spend what is left of that time with my family and work on getting to know my camera and equipment better, build my new websites and make Christmas gifts.

So, I’m not going to be taking any new website jobs until after the new year. I already have enough work to go well into November I think, I’ll have to rush.

But yeah, anyways. I promised myself I’d have some of my health problems under control by the end of the year and that’s coming up soon. Better get serious about it then!

Watching Bats, originally uploaded by phae.

We ended our explore back at the historic bridge we started at- watching hundreds of bats hunt! It’s a miracle I got any photos at all.. I was shooting blind. They swooped and shrieked and made for an exciting end to our quickie evening explore.
