jaeleslie at 07:17pm on 29/04/2004Now that I've finally ordered some frames that I've been thinking about for oh six weeks now, it is nearly time to take it easy for the evening. It's been one of those weeks when I feel like I'm running as fast as I can, but at least I am kind of keeping up. Last summer I had a class with a teacher who advised Don't Think, Just Do It, and that seems to be working to some degree. I've been reading quite a bit, and writing in response, which is how it oughtta be.
Tuesday (which is as far back as I can remember) my ceramics class was busy, because I had half a dozen things out of the bisque kiln that had to be glazed, and I hadn't completely thought out what to do with them. Found myself devising a method of brush lettering with this very gloppy stuff that I am not very good at yet, How can I keep from singing. Then next week is our last class, we'll scrub some of the mud off the walls and shelves, and that's it for the semester. After that I had a little trip to the library, then sprang into action as chauffeur service to get Number One Son from rugby practice to gaming club and fed as well, which I finessed by finding a new Subway's right on the way.
Yesterday I was reading, and then organizing some work I have been kind of thinking about, pulling out the necessary parts so that I will remember to work on them, which doesn't look like much accomplished, and then I had some errands that I finally got to kind of late, visited a friend I hadn't seen in forever along the way, came home and fixed dinner. That's all horribly vague. Okay, I got to pull out one of my big folders of decorated paper and look at everything in it and work out which ones might go through a printer for a collage technique I want to try.
Then in the evening I had a walk around the Arboretum with Julie Z, on a guided tour that they apparently have every Wednesday. Who knew? I had saved my walk energy so I'd be up for it. I learned about magnolias and redbuds and pears and saskatoon, all in bloom now, and it was a glorious evening. The weather being unseasonably warm and windy actually makes me swell up something terrible, but who can complain? The peach tree and all the tulips are in bloom.
