Cleaning
Today I feel I made some real progress in tacking some of the obstacles that have been in the way of my creativit - painting/drawing etc. Basically I cleaned house. I spent most of my time washing/drying/putting away and sorting out clothes that could go to charity shops. I'm hoping to get our current wardrobe down to a nice mangangable amount of clothes that are practical and fit both of us. We aren't people to purchase a lot of clothes but over the years we've just not been good at sorting out the ones that need to go. That is one goal I'm currently tackling.
The second goal was to clean and rearrange my manga/art/sewing room. That one room is pretty much just full of all the things that make me me - if you know what I mean. I started by sorting out magazines to throw away (recycle of course) and bits and bobs that really just needed to throw away. I also started rearranging everything into a much more orderly fashion. When it's done I should have more room and better access to stuff. It's still not done but a couple more hours (or so) and I should be ready to sit back, admire and then paint. It was a big deal to me that I actually got a start to it.
One of the factors behind it was the attempt to stave off my depression bought about by my current ocd problems. I have to see the Psychiatrist tomorrow and I'm pretty sure he'll up my meds - which kind of worries me - and also the fact that I'm afraid I might have another huge panic attack this week. That would not be good.
Anyway my husband and I also made a roast beef and yorkshire pudding dinner together today for Sunday lunch. It was really fun cooking together - my husband did most of the cooking because he really does enjoy it. Several times he shoo'd me off saying he'd take care of whatever task I was trying to do. It turned out delicious and we made far too much. Eyes bigger than our belly (in my case that's quite a feat!)
Also I found out quite by accident that Sean Michael had released another book in his Velvet Glove series - Velvet Blade. I downloaded it immediately and am almost a third of the way through already. It will be my companion at the hospital tomorrow as I wait between appointments.
Played a bit of LBP on the PSP and watched a couple of mystery shows. Didn't write in my paper journal today but that should be a good sign as I didn't have anything too intense to write.
Well until tomorrow - later!
