My week... My weekend...

[Sherlock77]

This is mostly a venting post, sometimes it helps to get it out

Just got home after my sixth day of work in a row, tired...

I worked Monday through Thursday with the agency, and it was going to be just a normal weekend... But got a phone call on Thursday afternoon about a weekend shift at a place I've been to three different times in the last two weeks... And a strange 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM shift... I did decline for the Sunday shift but went in for Friday and Saturday...

Today (Saturday) was essentially the last warm day of the year before the first snowfall of the year nails us, so I missed going out today My photography opportunities have been few and far between anyway the last two weekends, and I have very little to post anywhere... I know I shouldn't worry about such silly things

Side note - Last weekend, I did make a "date" with another local Autistic lady, I've known her for years, and neither one of us intends to be a couple (just for the record), we went to the local zoo, something she wanted to do and zoos just don't inspire me that much, but the connection was good, thus not much photography for me that day... But back to today

There was a function tonight by a local art group, related to a show I was part of back in July and I really wanted to attend the function as I want to support them, this dang work shift ended up ruining it for me... I thought that it was from 7 to 9 PM, didn't leave work until 8 PM, got stuck at the gas station behind "Mr. Lottery" as I grabbed a coffee *aargh!*, finally got downtown for 8:30 and walked by their gallery space and darkness... Turned out that the event was from 6 to 8 PM so I left work as it ended, now I just feel stupid and like they will look down on me, I know I shouldn't think that way, there are all sorts of reasons why I might not have made it

I plan to take Monday off as my weekend and that is the snow day, Sunday won't be warm and is when the snow will start

All this convoluted story about how I missed enjoying the last warm day of the year, and how my Saturday went sideways, I did sneak in a very brief walk in a local park on the way to work this morning (ten minutes at the most)

I guess we all have weird/crappy days sometimes, this was one for me

As life passes me by...

Just looking at a friend's photo account, all the stuff he gets to see, he is also retired so can get out everyday, and I'm stuck with whatever I get when I'm not working... Re: hardly anything, sorry just feeling glum tonight

Some days are diamonds, some days are coal.
And how many diamonds are found in coal mines?
Stay warm.

sorry just feeling glum tonight

Hopefully you can bounce back quickly and get some rest. Sounds like you’re working alot and that can definitely contribute to The Glums.

Yup... A new day to explore, but a slightly colder day... I don't get to sleep in today, up at 7:15 because I have to be at church early this week...

The only slight good thing (in a sense), is that I'll plan to have a day off for that first snowfall on Monday, which means some snow photography... But the path to Monday has been rather challenging still...

It's that time of year too, autumn is a difficult time I think.

You mean the transition to colder winter temperatures? Yup

I did sit outside at a coffee shop patio today, at 5 Celcius, with my jacket on of course

Saturday here had cooled off to the mid-80s. I took a short hike and encountered a rattlesnake sunning itself on the trail. It rattled at me. I glared at it from a safe distance until it slithered away.

Enjoy the day and each day brings others things to experience.
Life is made up of a lot of moments, I find myself challenged to enjoy each moment for what it is.

PS I enjoy your photos
