October Blog: Day 11

Still hanging in there.

At this point I’m lacking any real motivation to continue with Sober October. I’m really just doing it because I said I would. Days like today, I falter.

I had a long, hard day. I’m tired. There’s a guy at work who won’t be coming back for the perceivable future, so I’m doing my job and his. So when I got home, I just kind of laid there. After a while, I realized I needed to do my photo-a-day challenge. As I said, I faltered. Do I really need to do this? There’s no one to hold me accountable, but me.

But I said I was going to do it. I try to be a man of my word.

So I thought for a while. I saw the light streaming through the blinds on my window. And it gave me an idea.

I wanted a film noir feel. Like a down and out private detective staring out into nowhere and looking back on his life.

I think it worked. I had to turn my iPhone upside down to get this shot.

Anyway. Here’s two shots from yesterday.
