The Human Weather Vane
Jun. 3rd, 2003 10:32 pmFINALLY came out of my lethargic funk yesterday and had ONE day of Superwoman energy.
Was it because the sun finally shone out of the weeks it's been raining...pouring? I don't know, but it was gooooood. I set about madly cleaning house (ME, CLEANING! Without wild dogs yapping at my heels?) Ran errands. Raked out all the leaves from under the bushes outside. Miter-sawed wood to fix box-artwork. Prime painted wood. Did laundry. Cooked a yummy chicken, veggie, ginger, garlic stir-fry dinner (ME,COOKING! Without wild dogs yapping at my heels?)
Ate fresh plums outside in the fresh air...sunlight sparkling off of the juicy parts. You know,Plum-flesh, up close and personal is NOT really red...but is made up of red dots in clearish jelly-ish stuff. Don't take my word for it, go eat one outside in the sun!:)
Ahhh.(you thought I was calling you 'Plum-flesh', DIDN'T you.;)
Of course I was hoping it would last. A few days at least. But today...grey sky again...and the slowness returned..the clouds were in my head and outside my head...and not much getting done.
I've got to jump back into working in the studio. Bought a bunch of small blocks of pine for the baby pieces I want to make.But the circuit breaker has disappeared and I can't bring music into the basement. No music and no air.? waaah. mope.mope.
In the evening, B came home and found me in a pitiful state. He humored me...what might make the lil miss happy? hmmm. A Bloody Mary, I say? And we're off for corn fritters and Bloody Marys because... he's awesome. I brought book therapy with me (Annie Dillard's 'The Writing Life')and read a bit with coffee. Then we went and bought another utility table at Home Depot so I can set up what I'm working on downstairs and not be on the floor. This WILL help. So HOPEFULLY tomorrow can be another Superwoman day- this time with Art.
