river_kateIt's raining and chilly here this evening. I feel I can enjoy staying indoors instead of needing to be out as though it will be the last pleasant weather ever. It was nice out earlier and twenty minutes after I returned home from running errands the weather changed for the worse. Then I fell into one of those deep naps.
Early this morning I did some loads of laundry. Being in an apartment building with a basement laundry room, my clothes sometimes need to finish drying while draped over chairs, etc. Later, being in and out of here doing errands, I'd come in and get a whiff of the basil-scented detergent I'm currently using. That is very comforting to me somehow.
After years of not doing so much creatively, I've recently gotten both energy and inspiration again. My careful health regimen went out the window and I was reminded of my youth. I don't believe that creative people have to be insane or addicts and sacrifice their health for their art, but I still have much room for improvement in having a sort of balance in my life. I have been lax in my sleeping and eating habits and neglected to take the supplements that are supporting my kidneys. It didn't seem to hurt me, though. Fewer aches and pains and small bouts of happiness and amusement occurred.
I'm working on the quilted wallhanging base for the 1904 items I am going to attach to it. When I was younger, it bothered me that I don't have good quilting skills and techniques and that I didn't care enough to learn and practice them. Now, I'm not letting that stop me. I know what I want to make and I'm going to call it...ummm...primitive.
My current 4 X 5 inch painting-in-progress and the supplies for it are taking up half of my kitchen table. I like to look at the underpainting.
I had my one-use-camera photos put on a picture disk and played with the images in the editing software. I can post them to my blogger account but posting here is beyond my computer skills and that's all right with me.
I'm stocking up on snacks for NaNoWriMo which begins in less than three weeks and hopefully, I will still feel ready on November first. I've been using my mental energy on paperwork having to do with farming, crops and insurance, which is vital but not interesting.
Trying not to rely on caffeine so much, I've been playing around with techniques from a book on auras. I don't see them but have been successful working with mine somewhat. The current book goes into how the astral body supports the physical body and shares information that is new to me. One of the areas I'd like to transform is my tendencies for mental sluggishness. Actually, it takes awhile to recover from mental fatigue.
These are the things I'm being and doing these days in a kind of wobbly way. Now that I'm not dying I want to get some plans going.
