Tired and running on empty after a few busy days and deadline pressure.  Had that moment where 3-4 things had to be accomplished at the same time, and my head started to explode.  Most got pushed aside as I concentrated on making matchbooks for wall mountables, and prints for GTown.

Matches were really fun.  I got 600 in on Wednesday, and just started making them stream of consciousness style.  Got to 50, then added about 25 on Friday.  Thursday I had the 5:30 install deadline, and had no idea what I was going to do / how I could present them.  Worked it out over a few hours, finally settling on an old box, and a simple frame to hang, 

When I got there, it took me about 10 minutes (great planning, dave!!).  Left it empty, and a place for my printed sign, and left.  Got. A great spot.

Washed out on Friday midday, feeling so run down and crappy.  Only got about 1/3 of the prints made I had planned, and drove out to gtown feeling defeated.  Got the sign printed, and walked up to DCAC at around 7 to dump matches and split!  ((Amazed that my little blurry venmo pattern that I printed on the wood worked))

Left feeling super defeated.  Thought nobody would be interested, and just completely exhausted after the days.  But then Venmo payments started coming in, and my mood swung right around!

 

That meant people were in fact enjoying them, looking through them, just as I had intended.

 

Anyway, that brings me to today.  In unhappily, to catch up on the card project that I started and put off mid week to work on matches.  UGH. Another long slog of design uncertainty.  After hours of work I think I cracked the design code, but now still have a lot ahead assembling the parts for (3) cards. 

And there is a mountain of other stuff too, all put off and waiting.  Saturday night at 7:26.   Leaving for now, and not planning to work tomorrow.

 

U G H
