December 23rd - that freaky creepy scary time when everybody flees real life and goes into this 2 week bubble where time has warped and slowed and sped up all at the same time.  We will reconstitute on the other side in the new year!

Creepy walk with the dogs - dark and quiet, empty streets and sidewalks.  I looked into decorated houses and apartments windows, with blinking xmas lights and I felt like such an outsider.  Longed for warm parties with hot food and loud conversations.  But unfortunately right now, that is a thing of the past, just like everything else seems to be.  I've shed so many things (unhappily).

Nutty holiday season : Jury Duty > MI > lost Thanksgiving Day spent sick and throwing up > Home fretting about sales / artwork > sick with Hex cold > recovery and design stress > now.

What's going to get done is done (except present for Hex) and all ahead.  Glad to have gotten through this period.

 

MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR challenge going forward:: that I always fail - - 

stay motivated, 

active, 

moving, 

creating.  

DO NOT SLUG !!  

 

We'll see.
