Lately, Steve has been working some evenings and into the early mornings on one particular piece of design work that is separate from his day job designs. It’s a logo and he loves to do logos.

I must say I admire his work ethics as he treats his design as an art. Every time he is hired to so some design work on the side he never does anything only half as good as he could. He is one of those people that puts in 100% for every job and that is something I respect a lot. I only wish it didn’t come with the guarantee of at least one all-nighter. But, you do the work when you can and that’s when the house is asleep for the most part.  Well, this dedication to the work comes at a price that many of us call ‘lack of sleep’ to put it lightly. Ugh! It never ends really. Sometimes the lack of sleep is lacking a little less than other days but always lacking to a degree.

Last night Steve got to bed at – wait! – I should say this morning Steve got to bed at 5am and then was up at 8am,which is late for a work day, to get ready for work.

In the mornings we have the habit of making tea or coffee for each other and placing it on the side of the shower edge to be drank/drunk ? while one of us is showering. This morning Steve was quick into the shower before I pulled myself out of X’s bed, which is a regular happening around here. I walked into the bathroom to see this on the edge of the shower. A tell-tale sign of what the night was like and what the day to come would hold for Steve.

Shazzam! Talk about your waker-upper!

Love you, my hard working, man. 🙂
