June 9th. in June Writing Challenge

i'm so confused. it's 8:15a and joaquin is STILL sleeping and he's been in such a state for MORE THAN 12 HOURS. i know that "some people's kids" do this on the regular, but ours does NOT and so when he does it freaks me out. normally the longest he sleeps night at is 11.5 hours, but his AVERAGE is 10.5. So. maybe he's growing? maybe he's just finally starting to realize how f*cking awesome sleep is? who knows.

i figured it was a good time to write down some thoughts before my day gets going. i haven't had any coffee, and i'm guessing he will be stirring soon, so this might be incoherent & short, but here goes anyway.

this is a crazy busy week. today is a lot of prep work for the week ahead,and once my boys are up & at 'em, we're going to head to the gym so i can squeeze in a 3-4 mile run, because i probably won't be able to run again until friday. oh! yesterday i was only 'scheduled' to do a 4-mile run per my training schedule, but i was in the zone and decided to run a full hour to see how far i could get, so i logged 6.31 running miles, and then logged 0.3 more in a cool down walk. it felt so good!! so: considering the half marathon is 13.1 miles, i'm not QUITE halfway there yet, but i'm getting closer. and i have 8 weeks to go! i might actually be able to pull this off WITH a decent time ? remains to be seen.

tomorrow i'm heading up to SF to sit in the back room while liana moderates focus groups about laundry. i'm going to get to know a new addition to one of our client teams, hence my presence in the back room. then, the next day we're going to do a mini-immersion with the whole team to workshop ideas for another, bigger project that we would like to kick off in july (i think) after that, we'll be heading to an agency to present to their planning team about 'innovation,' then we'll have a shorter, smaller meeting with some of the planners about some specific upcoming projects they have. after that is a credentials meeting with an awesome new client. they signed on for a tiny project, so our goal will be to learn them on all of our offerings so they can buy more more more more. and so on. then back to LA in the evening.

thursday is a day of focus groups that i'll be moderating - the day will go from 11a - 10p, so it will be a dooooozy, but it should be a good day and it will go fast.

OH! the baby stirs. total sleep time: 12:27 hours. WHOSE KID IS THIS??

laters.
