Dear Diary: February 23, 2004

… I am frustrated with my Tongue Rug project right now. For the last two weeks I have been working in Photoshop, stitching together the panoramas. Twice now, I worked for a couple of hours on a document, only to have it fail. (I need the ends to match so that I can make a perfect circle.) It is a frustratingly long process, but when it works, what a feeling! I know I just have to stick with it and I will get over these hurdles…

Just as I said, I went back to the computer and kept at it. It was worth ef the effort. I finished the Lac Panache vista. It brought back fond memories, not only of when I took it, but when I was younger and I would hike up with my cousins.

… Today I followed through with my plan. I would have to work harder and on my own. I bought a scanner to work with my laptop. I started scanning the lake photos from last summer. It was the push I needed. I have been wanting to scan these for months. They were sitting on my desk at work. At the end of a shift, I had no energy to stay and work on my project into the late hours. I hope this sets the tone for a working routine.
