Ho Hum

I have a huge list of wonderful creative projects to work on. What I want to do mostly is just make a big check-off sheet and some lists, and start crossing off items.

But I'm in a funk. I've been sad all day.

I went over to the city briefly for that tried-and-true remedy: retail therapy. I got some new facial cleanser, some fancy moisturizing oil, and some Bare Minerals spf 15. If I'm going to be sad, I might as well have nice skin.

Then I came home, ate some leftover asparagus pasta, nibbled on some fat-free brownies (which do not hold up well over a few days), and crunched a batch of popcorn with Spike (the seasoning, not the vampire). Took a hot shower, tried out the new products. Washed the floor. Watched a dumb TV show. Took out the garbage.

Avoided making the list. Avoided drawing. Avoided setting up canvasses.

Oh well. Tomorrow I will get together with a friend after work and help HER make some progress, even if I'm seemingly incapable of making any of my own. Wednesday night perhaps I'll actually get moving on some stuff. My dad is coming this weekend, so I won't get much done (but I'll probably have some fun, so that's a good tradeoff).

Maybe I can make my list tonight once I get in bed. Sometimes, it's easier to make progress when you're snuggled in bed.
