Stressy
Stressy. Couldn’t focus. Couldn’t decide what to draw. So I drew you something I typically only draw at work. Watching people talk is… distracting for me. It’s easier for me to focus on what someone is saying if I don’t look at them. Making drawings like these typically helps me to focus, and organize my thoughts. They’re calming in an odd sort of way. At one job I would always draw them on the back of 3″ x 5″ cards. I kept some of them done over the course of a few months, and lined them up sequentially once. It was an interesting glimpse into my subconscious. You could see the shapes change, the whitespace gradually start pushing out the dark.
I’m stressy now, and this one looks it. Ick. It’s this damn release mostly. But there are some good things going on. Our couch-surfer has headed home. It’s not that I wanted her to go. I enjoyed spending time with her. But, I do need some-place I can go and just mentally flop. And for me, lately, that’s been the couch. I come home, walk the dog, and then just flop and let my brain stop working for a couple hours. It’s hard to really let yourself go mentally when you have a house-guest.
The other good piece of sunshine? Whilst walking back from Chinese food Sunday I had a fortune cookie that said I’d have someone nice come into my life. I can’t remember the exact wording, and can’t find the paper, but the implication was for potential romance. So whoot on that. Not that they tend to be very accurate, but hey, I can hope.
/me crosses fingers
I’m sorry about the doodly drawings as of late. I’ll be back on track with the good stuff soon.
