getting ready:

end of corcoran

dog days

new studio

AUGUST

cold July day that feels like September.  hex and I feel displaced.

Summer in DC goes into this weird empty phase.  I always write about it.  Life slows way down.  People disappear.  The gym is empty, and nothing big happens.  I alwyas feel left behind.

This year will be good:  prepping new studio, and planning for Dolcezza.  A new chapter!  Just want to enjoy August, and slow it all down.  Fall will be here too fast.

fine friday.

got some art done.  Just a few linger!

weather is A+

dog days SALE next weekend!!  really thought it was a few weeks away, so towards the end of the day I hustled to get everything out and sorted.  Great feeling having all this S P A C E to work in.  A luxury. Really nice.

fretting over the end of the month.  Wish we were safely mid July, enjoying the summer days.  Now it feels like deadline is approaching.  RENT, INSURANCE, DENTIST, END OF CORCORAN, DOLCEZZA, ETC.

but really it's all time and perception.  ALL will work out, it ALWAYS has.  Just want to enjoy the weekend.  If I'm not going away on any vacation, at least I can take a saturday to do nothing.  Feel no stress, and just enjoy where I am, what I am, with Hex and Rem.

" fun " day at the corcoran.  fun because I was working on "my" prints.  Big messy things for Dolcezza show coming up.

4 hours go by so fast.  Not many classes left, then it's over.  Anxious about the end, but excited to be done with the place.  so overstayed.  The party was over long ago.

I'm so grumpy when I'm there.  stay to myself and scowl.  It's weird, I put on this persona by default.  I - just - want - to get - my - work - done.  Nothing extra.  and everybody just bugs me.  It's stupid.

Anyway - fun plans for tomorrow's session, and maybe Kevin?

Summer going fast!  Some projects are lingering.

Great couple of days.  Kind of lazy, but thats ok.

weekend seems like a week ago already.  highlights:  peach pie, rockville, parcheesi, colombe, floor painting.

yesterday we went BACK to rockville again for more parceesi.  crazy.

big idea: decided to take over back room as well.  Poor megan could not decide, and suddenly while on the metro, hex and I decided.  Seems like a sensible plan, and take me full circle from last Sept when I was all hyped to take over upstairs.  Funny - now sally and I are in our places, just over and down.

anyway, it's a much bigger rent, but I think it's smart.  Now it's just full steam ahead to get up and running.  Or as full steam ahead as I can.

Summer going too fast. cue the anxiety.

yay!

good solid day.

mid afternoon I sorted through and grabbed some great wood and boxes via craigslist/hexy.  Some really good finds.  I was very careful to get just what I wanted and could visualize actually using.  Threw in some wildcards for fun-factor.  When I was done, the car was packed!

HOT HOT HOT outside.

Tomorrow > back to the corcoran to print.  It feels like its been a month!  Anxious to return and finish things!

Felt like more then 3 days off!  good weekend -- hamburgers, parcheesi, omlettes, colombe, logan circle, metro, true blood, banana bread, frosted brownies.

4th of July always feels a little odd.  I remember the weird one with Ken and Kristin and Cheryl in Rockville.  I just remember we couldn't decide what to do, where to go, so we drove each other crazy.  Odd memory, but always stuck.

Summer 2014 officially feels in full swing.  July 4th is the wicket.  No going back, just fast forward to August, then a slow month, then dark, then Christmas.  It's all such a cycle.

Anyway - a good day today.  I saw M O N D A Y for what it is and will always be:  time to regroup, catch up, and NOT-FEEL-BAD for being not so productive.  But with that realization came productivity.

I can get so paralyzed.  Not knowing where to put my energy and / or knowing, but avoiding.

A N Y W A Y (2) - it's hot outside.  The day is done for now.  Time to go home.

yikes!  A trecherous few days of drawing drama and frustration.  I made it through (for now).  Sometimes it's likes pulling water from stone.  I _JUST_CANT.

Many projects backed up, but that is tomorrows problem.

For now, I can just be happy.

Happy 4th.
