I'm treating myself to Hazelnut black tea and Apple Spiced Chai from adagio. Now I'm going to be really impatient for the package to arrive - the downside of ordering tea online. 

I've had a busy time this year; started out in a real tight spot and had a hard time finding work, but now I'm employed as a graphic designer! It's actually quite interesting to me and from the pleased customers I seem to be pretty good at it. Good design and painting have a lot in common, too, but fortunately not so much that I'm forced to give up freelancing in illustration on my own time! Speaking of which I've got another big testing project that will yet again be under NDA for the better part of a decade, but I can certainly use the opportunity to replenish my savings and whatnot! 

The only bad thing about these long-term NDAs is that because I can't talk about most of the work I'm doing, I don't gain any ground in my career from it other than lots of experience working with a team to develop a product on a tight deadline with a ridiculous number of images. Hopefully I will be able to make some headway in that direction this year with some of the other stuff I've got planned... so stay tuned!
