So I’ve been really emotional lately, as is obvious. I think it’s a combination of hormones and stress. I apologize to anyone getting the brunt end of it. :-) Yesterday at work I got to use InDesign! It makes me all happy inside. Flora (my boss) came over at one point to see how the ad was coming (this has been one crazy confusing ad! it has all these weird sizes and folds and such).
