Assorted Flavours
Mar. 24th, 2010 05:23 pmI have a timeline for finishing my current workload, and it is more than reasonable. I work better when I have a concrete idea of when stuff needs to be finished-- I know when I will be freaking out and scrambling, when I can back down and clear my plate for other work, and when I can look forward to showing off what's all been done.
Today is a low-art day-- I'm finishing up a quick piece and otherwise cleaning my house and getting my workspace in order so that I can really press over the next three days. On saturday I have a break, which I'm filling with lifedrawing (at long last!) and horseback riding. I'm really excited about both. it's been about two years since I went to a lifedrawing session, and I know I'm rusty as hell; I can't wait to get back on track. The horseback riding will be wonderful; the ranch I'm looking at is pricy, but you lease the horses and free ride with them. Moving at my own pace through the woods, just as spring is bursting . . . sounds like just the thing to keep the creative juices.
Thanks to everyone who reccommended the Couch to 5k plan. On Monday, both
deadmanwade and I start. Both excited ans scared. Next week is going to be a very long, work filled, and *sore* week. But it should be worth it. By mid-May, I'll be at my running goal.
Good news on the mental health front, but that's a lot more involved than befits a quick LJ post. Maybe in a day or two, after some more reflection, I'll get to writing up something longer on that. Or not.
