Discombobulated

What's life without a little shake up?

It’s all a bunch of bits and bobs right now while life re-shapes itself on the west coast. I seem to have forgotten how to do nearly everything I normally do. I can’t seem to remember how to cook dinner, or make my lunch. I sort of stare at the computer when it’s time to work, not knowing what needs to be done or how to do it. My routines and habits have been overturned to say the least.

I guess that’s the point of moving across the country, but sometimes I just want to be able to chug along without so much effort.

In the meantime, while I figure out new routines, I have some things that I would like to add into my daily / monthly life:

• Regular yoga practice

• Camping!!

• Ocean swims

• Deeper art practice sessions (longer, focused and flowing)

• Painting again

• Fewer material things (be net negative in objects for the year)

• Stop shopping online at all (now that I’m in a place literally built for in-person shopping, I need to be taking the time to drive myself to the store and add that little friction into shopping)

• Visit every thrift store in the county

• Work in weird places outside the home

Being very scrappy and piecing together chunks of batting to have a piece for this pocket altar.

Our precious cat sleeps in my studio at this new house.

The nearly complete pocket altar (using the batting shown up top).

Setting up sketchbook pages with these grids so I can do a little doodle in the short time periods I have for drawing.

That’s what I have for this week. I have, at least, been sitting at my computer everyday to write, but the stuff that’s pouring out of me is garbled junk at the moment. Hoping for something more coherent next week.

See you next Sunday :)
