That photo is from this afternoon. We had just finished a call with a team of 8 people about Really Big Project A that's coming up. Meanwhile, there are papers spread out all over the office floor for Even Bigger Project B that is about to ramp up very soon. Meanwhile-meanwhile the workshop's floor is covered with metallic dust and wood shavings from Also Big Project C that's supposed to be done and is a little overdue. 

Got a bunch of new welding gear from Lincoln Electric for Also Big Project C!

Remember how two weeks ago I was like, "Oh - the workshop is pretty chill and days are never really that long." Okay. Someone needs to tell two-weeks-ago Simone that that workday is about to change big time. I'm flying to Vancouver for TED on Sunday and after that I won't have a normal work week until May 23rd. So a lot of things need to get done and it's all coming at me at once.

Whenever I get overwhelmed, I hide under furniture. I've done it since I was a kid. I crawl through dust and dropped-and-forgotten snacks and stay there until the world doesn't feel quite as scary anymore. I attribute it to some evolutionary burrowing instinct. I'm a rabbit, and my schedule is a fox snapping at me.

This photo is from a more fun time when I had to hide under furniture. I had just gotten a phone call telling me that the Tesla Model 3 that I had ordered was about to be delivered. I got so excited I had to duck under the table for a quick breath. And a week ago it arrived! MY VERY OWN, GROWNUP CAR! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I'm sooooo excited about it. It's such a beautiful car, and I'm almost starting to regret what Even Bigger Project B has in store for it.

As much as I love Cheese Louise, this really feels like my first car. Mainly because it has brakes that work, but also because it can go over 25mph. Sorry Cheese Louise. I'll still keep her, but I might repurpose her as a phone booth in the workshop.

I even got a parking ticket!! It's official! I'm a full-fledged car owner!

Here's a sneaky sneak preview of Also Big Project C that is coming out next week:

Ok gotta go! I hope you're having a good day! And if you're not, I hope that you have some appropriate furniture to hide under.

XOXO
