the long weekend was pretty good. it *did* rain a LOT. i had no regrets about staying home. in fact i was very productive. not in a very artful way, though we did go out wandering (me with camera) around town (getting caught in the rain, of course), to the Swamp and also to Eudora. we are completely over Eudora however. traci and i used to find some fairly good images there, but something has changed and it has become bland. contaminated by their suburbs probably. also there were sirens blaring and dogs barking and moaning almost the whole time we were there. saturday was ALL errands and chores, so i could have two days to “play”. when play day came, i felt cranky at the artTable and i knew it was because there was just too much clutter, not just the piles of Etsy stock all over one table (still!!!), but In The Cupboards, too. i thought if i could clear out the cupboard from hell and my file cabinet, and hey, why not back up my entire website and clean out computer files while i’m at it … then i would be able to art. so i did that, spending two days in a weird nostalgia (accentuated by the fact that *this* was really high school graduation weekend, not last weekend, so i had to go through that whole thing again). finally i finished. then i realized i had vowed to mulch the garden this weekend … so i did that last night. layers of newspapers and bark and now it looks almost like a Real Garden, not a weed patch that some tomatoes happened to grow up in. then i tried to read a book. and now i am back to the fluorescent prison. maybe someday there will be art again? i *am* happy those things are done, though. really.
