For now, OH MY GOSH I AM ALMOST DONE AT THE TRIBUNE! Next Friday is my last day. How am I going to get all of my stories done? I have two longer stories in the works and I am trying to bank some news briefs so my Tribune comet tail still shines after I leave, at least through most of August ;)
I had a full-page story today. How crazy is that!? I won't link it yet again. I have put it on pretty much every other social media site I am a part of. So, a page 1 story and a full page. Pretty spectacular experiences if you ask me. Since this is my space, I suppose it doesn't really matter if you ask me because I am going to tell you anyway. It's spectacular.
The last few weeks have been strange, after my editor and 19 others were layed off unexpectedly. It certainly threw off my rhythm, as well as the rhythm of the newsroom. The work didn't stop, there were just fewer people suddenly to do it. I think things have worked themselves out as much as can be expected though.
Anyway, there are a lot of changes coming up quickly. I need to figure out how to ship all of my stuff and especially, my bike, which will need to go to a bike shop to be taken apart and packaged up...
Then there is the job search, and the apartment hunting AND the fast-approaching wedding to plan! Eeeek!!
I can't forget to say that having Leila here was so much fun and I am so lucky I got to be in Madison two weekends in a row. James and Logan came for an entire week, which was phenomenal! We had so much fun, even if I was working much of the time they were here. We at least got Madison time, complete with Devil's Lake, climbing, and good times swimming. ;)
