In mid-July, I flew to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for three classes at the Art and Soul Retreat. It’s been a long time since I attended one of these. I enjoy them so much. When Seth Apter announced his classes at this retreat about a year ago, I signed up for “Within the Layers” immediately because I…

I cannot believe it is Wednesday. Wow. My sense of time is so out of whack. I guess it is official now that I really do plan to go to Art and Soul in Harrisburg, PA this July because I bought plane tickets yesterday. Actually, I used miles. My Chase United card sent an email…

Retirement is so weird. The world is disgustingly surreal. The day is over before I know it. It goes so fast. I was supposed to have so much time on my hands to do ALL THE THINGS. Much of it is wasted on computer games and scrolling through social media. I do focus on artists,…

^Pages in progress for the Asian Inspiration board book. I am once again dithering about whether to continue on Substack or go back to only here. Each has its frustrations and plusses. I haven’t been inspired to blog lately, even as my birthday came and went and my 19th blogiversary sped by, the longest dry…

^A book cover collage I made ten days ago at a craft event at Oden Brewing Company. I’m starting to feel the relief that comes with the wind-down of the academic year. At this point, I am done with a lot of the major budget stuff. Handling the budget for large amounts of money is…

Boy, I feel like I really socialized a lot this week, although I guess this is what “normal” used to be. So yesterday was a rest day for me. Sandy woke me at 10:30, so I got over ten hours of sleep. (I really need this on Saturday mornings.) Then we went to the farmers’…

I am about to undertake my yearly wrap-up post, in which I pretty much read my blog posts from the whole year and pick one or two from each month to highlight. Ugh. 2021 was so boring. And depressing. There were a few fun events though, mostly later in the year. Maybe I’ll feel better…

Now I remember why I bought a Bluetooth keyboard to go with this Kindle. At the time I was trying to avoid buying a new laptop. The space that the on screen keyboard takes up is annoying. I will have to remember to take that keyboard with me when I travel. Anyway, we are at…

And, OH! This coffee is so good. I put a big scoop of Trader Joe’s salted caramel hot cocoa mix in it. Divine. I’d really like to go back to Trader Joe’s today and buy more of this and a bunch of frozen dinners to take to work, but I considered what it would be…

I’ll head to the studio after lunch, but in the meantime, I’ll do a catch-up post from this week. Which ain’t much, but this is my journal written to my future self to read. Last Sunday afternoon when I went to the studio I decided to do much of the same thing – gelli plate…
