One of my daily struggles is what to do when. Should I go look for porch lights now, go to the studio first, clean the flower beds? Today I want to be outside working when the weather is nicest and inside at the studio when it is cooler or darker. Shouldn't that tell me what to focus on and in what order? Why then do I feel so frustrated, like any choice will be the wrong one. Someone told me once that it doesn't matter - just DO something. Didn't I say just that at the top of this blog? Why the frustration then?
Right now it seems like good sense to go find a light for the porch, get it installed and work on the flower beds. My normal approach to cleaning the flower beds is to start with the beds that people see first when they come to the house. And I still feel that is a good method, so no confusion there. Then try to get to the patio because I see it whenever I let Max out into the backyard, so seeing it cleaned up will lift my spirits and make me feel that I am moving forward.
I can work at the studio until really late - until I run out on energy or inspiration. Do I have a plan now? Sounds like it.
Clean it: flower beds
Fix it: porch light
Finish it: one raku/encaustic vessel
I shopped for porch lights to no avail, so I came home and took a better look at the one I have installed. I reset the time off for 20 minutes and will see how that works for me.
The gift cards for Lowes were at the post office so I bought my new microwave. Saddly, I am no longer strong enough to lift out the old one. Man, have they gotten light. Tomorrow I'll have help and will get the new one installed.
I got the corner fower bed cleaned out - as much as in reasonable since it will get cold again. I got some primroses when I got the microwave and planted them just behind the fence where I can see them when I come in the front door.
I worked on encaustics for about 2 hours and made good progress. Now, I just finished cleaning the kitchen after dinner and spent 20 minutes trying to get the crud off around the burners. I know people whose stove tops are immaculate. I don't have it in me to make that happen.
I'm going to drink some wine and hem a skirt.
