Little bit of this and that

Me: What cha doing today mom?

Mom: I am just going to piddle around the house.

Me: Um, Mom do you know what piddle means? It means pee...

Mom: ha, No I am not doing that, I am just finding things to do around here.

Me: OK, I just wanted to clarify.

I am trying some advice on for size to see how it feels.

In my effort to be a better me, find my way in this crazy world and try and not let shit get to me.

 

Every time I sit and talk with other Artists and creatives I always ask how their day is framed.

It is a way to see how the day starts and the creative process creeps in.

Some have very structured schedules:

between 8 and 9 I do this,9 and noon that, etc...

Some start with house errands, or a list of deadlines...

Interesting enough, almost everyone I have spoken to that works from a home studio says

"I take the dogs for a walk and my day forms there"

Well, I don't have dogs, and I can fairly certainly tell you my cats are not big motivators for extreme walking...

"hey you, lady, come feed me so I can settle into a nap"

So this morning after feeding the cats and making sure their lives were attended to,

I went for a walk.

Just until I broke a sweat, and then I would head home.

(small steps, but with purpose)

I was out for about half an hour

I didn't get a lot of thinking done, just some ooh look at that shadow...it cleared my head for sure!

I am going to try it again

maybe incorporate it into my daily morning routine...

it will keep me away from morning news and over time I am sure it will kick start the

list/organizer thing in my head.

On my way home I swung by the local small coffee shop for a bagel

$2.25: for a bagel, un-toasted in a bag, no cream cheese

I am still figuring out her price matrix for that one...but I was able to snap-up the last "power bagel"

well, I think she only buys two...so I was lucky today.

I am currently printing...I am thankful for that.
