clean
What am I doing with my day off today? Cleaning. I hate cleaning, so this might seem a little odd. But we've been running at full tilt for so many months around here that we've pared down to the essentials needed to get by. And cleaning isn't one of those essentials in this house. The clutter and dust and cat hair are taking over and this morning I reached my breaking point. I wanted to paint on my day off, but I can't even conceive of creating anything in all this mess. So, I clean. The studio is now tidied and organized, all the empty boxes and random stacks of papers flattened, recycled, tossed. Supplies put away. Stacks of stuff thrown away or put away. All except for one small corner which I'll tackle later. Even a clean sheet of paper on my studio table.
Next up, laundry, vacuuming the carpets, and washing the bathroom floor. And it is only 8AM, so I'll have plenty of time to paint still in this lovely clean space. If only I had some sunlight in here. Maybe I'll sketch in the backyard, if I don't get sucked into the weeding that needs to be done out there. One bit at a time!
Right now I'm going to go read a book in a sunbeam on the couch I just cleared off in the guest bedroom.
*ahhhh* Clean house is so much better.
