the morning after. 

this year the fundraising dinner was at the river rock casino.  i was doing the photography for the event so i was traipsing all over the place most of the night.  i enjoyed the access to the balcony so i could do the birds eye view.  david lin brought his camera for me to use and the clubhouse has 2 dslr cameras.  one was set up on a tripod to take video of mike's (pathways member) speech and the other one i had with me.  part way through the night the cannon ran out of battery and so then i relied solely on david lin's camera until after mike's speech when i could take the nikkon off the tripod.  it was a 3 camera night.  there was also a student from a local high school doing some photography so i'm sure we covered the event quite well.  that morning i was up early at the job site covering for a sick member.  then i went with some of the group to the rock to help set up and do helium balloons.  then i went back to pathways clubhouse for a little while and then home to have a shower, then back to the  rock at 3 because they were setting up the lighting at that time and i wanted to check it out with the cameras.  i guess when you do an event they give you a hotel room so we all hung out in the hotel room for a little while and some people got ready.  i mostly sat in a chair and yawned a steady chain of yawns as i do.  5 o'clock came and we were on.  home by 9:30. dead to the world by 10.

this week is my first week in my new position but i haven't fully left the kitchen yet.  today i am helping out but tomorrow i should be downstairs the full day.  to be honest it's weird and it's hard to let go.  and to feel like i belong in the new place.  i guess that will just take time.
