Bought my birthday present yesterday. Nikon D5600 camera with two lenses. Why did I buy it early? Two reasons - first, I was going to get it online and they didn't have prime shipping. I wanted it here before we leave on our trip and was looking at their estimated shipping and didn't want to take chances. But as I started looking at the place from where I was going to get it, I started doing some more research into them. Turns out, they are considered a 'grey market' seller and not an authorized Nikon dealer. That's probably why their price was so much lower than the others I have found. Add to that, that their 'bundle' was mostly stuff I already have or stuff I would never use. So, disappointed I started looking at other vendors, including Best Buy. Turns out BB was having a sale. A significant sale. $300 off body and lenses. It meant I would have to purchase a flash separately, but that's okay. I also found an adaptor that lets me (possibly) use my existing lenses on the new body. If I can't, I plan to sell them on eBay. I can make a few hundred dollars doing that. Knock down the camera cost that way. In the end, I got my birthday present early. I went and took some sample pictures last night and am very happy. 24.2 effective mega-pixels but also a good white balance, color reproduction, etc. Now I just need to decide on how it's getting to Australia. Do I put it in my suitcase or try to find a camera bag. That's the next decision.
I didn't get shit done for work yesterday and need to work double today. I just couldn't get into it. My own fault. It's been a rough week. I did manage to get another 10 classes for Prudential on the calendar between now and August. Job security. All are remote, but it's more proof that I am a needed member of the team.
B had a phone call last night to try and find a new therapist. Looks like she may have found one and they will be having a pre-call today to see if it's a good match. She needs one and I hope this works out.
She made us meatloaf for dinner. Watched some tv and went to bed around 10.
