Enjoy the Silence

For those of you who don't know, Dick and I are getting married this Sunday (!).

This last week has oddly calm which came as quite a surprise. I thought that last week would be the toughest: it was my last "official" week of work before taking time off, and it was also the week when we'd be finishing up the last of the big projects. We tackled the remaining projects (ie: writing our vows - or in our case, cutting and pasting our vows, picking ceremony music, finalizing the photography schedule) in the evenings early last week, and got it all taken care of. That was a good thing, because I was hit hard by lots of last minute work from a few different clients which kept me working into the night on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Add onto that working at the Gallery Reception on Saturday, and it was quite a load.

But I'm happy to report that it was all handled in stride - must be some kind of secret wedding zen that no one tells you about. :)

I should mention here that I realize how very fortunate I am to run my own business, make my own hours, and work from home. I can't imagine that all of this planning could have gone as well and smoothly if I had a traditional "job-job".

This week is reserved for last-minute tasks, meetings and cleaning of the house. Not so bad.

I'm amazed at how many fewer email messages come through my inbox when I'm "on vacation".

Nice.
