11/27/11: It’s quite amazing how productive and long a day can be when you wake up early. I am especially grateful of this on eve of my first day back in the office in over a week. After doing a load of laundry, making brunch, and cleaning up the apartment all before noon, I was off to my favorite spot in Waltham - Cafe on the Common in Waltham Center to do some people watching…and writing, I guess. With the first draft of my TVC Saurman Reflection due in a couple weeks, I figured it is probably time to start writing. Three hours later (and after a large iced green tea and amazing peppermint hot chocolate), I am a solid outline ahead of where I was when the day began. It helped that the people watching opportunities were great and Christmas music was playing in the cafe. And now, a relaxing night before returning to the grind tomorrow!
