9:30 PM I do a quick worship with the girls and turn out the lights.

9:35 PM I consider forgetting this project and just going to bed but will myself downstairs to upload the pictures and write this post.

In total I took 48 pictures today and most of them I had to force myself to do it. I spent the day feeling tired, and wishing I had chosen another week for this project. But I'll keep going. I'm sure at the end of the week I'll look back and be glad I stuck with it.

Look for another post tomorrow!
