Survived our first Christmas with a kid. Exciting right? Totally. Visited my parents for Eve. It was a nice quiet evening. Mia slept quite a bit actually do to being off her schedule some during the morning hours. Christmas Day, we opened a few presents from Jill's aunt, and headed down to Illinois for a few days. It's always great seeing Jill's family, because they get super excited when they see Mia. I always feel relieved too, like "okay you guys enjoy your time with her". They need that time with her, being 2 1/2 hours away. Tuesday after a quick visit with Jill's pal Whitney, I packed my stuff and drove back solo for the rest of the week (since I've got to work). Gotta tell ya: driving by yourself for that long isn't that fun. 112 miles can be mind numbing, but I made it back of course. Saturday I'm heading back down again. It's been strange not having to get up real early to walk Remi and start the daily routine we've gotten used to. This morning my body woke up at 7 something, but I decided I didn't need to get up THAT early, especially on my day off. I really miss Jill and Mia. I miss Mia's hugs like crazy and Jill's smile when she wakes up (after a good sleep)
Did some much-needed art tonight and progress on Nick's album. Came to terms on how I want to execute it and I think he'll dig the concept. Still need to start another dog portrait and finish my Mia one. Overwhelming. Very overwhelming. Most importantly, I got to set up my drum set today. Felt a bit rusty, but had a good time. Even busted a blister on my right hand too. Made me miss playing shows. How typical. Tomorrow, maybe some drawing. We'll see how things go.
