Look at the time

A quick post written on my phone tonight. It was a good show day. I also got in some writing. I came home and my son and I made a shepherd’s pie with leftover mashed potatoes- we’d had that planned from the start. He did most of the cooking and I helped a little and … Continue reading Look at the time

Lazy holiday

I took the day off. I watched the parade, and then the dog show. I napped, then I cooked dinner and cleaned up. My son and I watched a couple of movies. A true lazy day. Tomorrow and Saturday, I have a show, so I’ll be back at it. I’m not quite ready to let … Continue reading Lazy holiday

Calculations

As I was waking this morning, I turned my focus to the spreadsheet I want to build. I had stayed up late (far too late) last night working on a basic frame. I kept going until I ran into my first problem and knew it was going to take some work to correct that issue. … Continue reading Calculations

Knowledge with gauges

Since yesterday’s blog, I’ve been considering what motivates me and what I need to get over a few hurdles. I know that seeing numbers increasing quickly inspires me. Little numbers or slow going frustrates me. I like to close my rings. Goal achieved trophies are cool, but little motivational “you did it, now keep going” … Continue reading Knowledge with gauges

Stopping the noise, maybe

I sometimes forget that this isn’t a rush and I get into a hurry. Yesterday was such a day. It’s hard to want to be at a certain destination and have the kids in the back seat yammering, “Are we there yet?” Add a nagging critical voice and it just becomes unbearable. Anything to get … Continue reading Stopping the noise, maybe

Tangents

I woke this morning with an old project on my mind. As I was thinking about a direction I could take with it, it got my braining thinking about business. Once I was on that tangent, I was off. I spent a lot of the day thinking about the structure of everything I have going … Continue reading Tangents

Looking toward tomorrow

Good show today, and I got some writing done too. Then my son, his girlfriend, and I went to have a good burger at a local restaurant. I’ve been there before, but they were newbies there and were very impressed. I had their homemade potato chips. Boy, those are addictive. Now I turn my attention … Continue reading Looking toward tomorrow

Holiday show tomorrow

I am all set up for the Jerome Music Boosters Holiday Craft and Gift Show tomorrow. I managed to get three ACEO’s and my few paintings all done up for this show, so there is new artwork. It looks like they’ve got lots of great vendors. Come check them out. Hope to see you tomorrow. … Continue reading Holiday show tomorrow

Slowing rhythm

Two nights ago, it was bedtime procrastination. Tonight, all I want to do is curl up in a warm blanket and take a nap. Rhythms of life. But, because of Merlin, I haven’t slept real well in a couple nights either. Hopefully tonight he’ll start to feel better. He’s been sleeping a lot today, and … Continue reading Slowing rhythm

Slow rowing

More ACEO’s painted today. That’s a picture of them above. Also got the car packed for this weekend’s show. Hoping that tomorrow I can catalog and varnish the paintings I have done so that they can go into the box for this show. It’s not a whole lot, but with luck I will have even … Continue reading Slow rowing
