I decided to take a photo of something I use every single workday – actually two things. That’s my handmade, wide-bottomed coffee mug, bought when we went on a road trip to Starved Rock State Park. Every weekday morning without fail, I fill the thing with coffee, at least twice. And the green folder underneath it is the hated group hotels file, one of my least favorite tasks.

Still, I do it to the best of my abilities, and today I got an award at work – kind of the runner-up award to the big one, which involves travel to a national rah-rah festival that frankly isn'[t my bag. I like my award better; I don’t have to leave David and Riley, and I still get some nice recognition, a nice reward, and lunch at one of the nicer hotels downtown.
