Sometimes I am absolutely possessed by a physical need to a. clean, and b. draw. I've dusted, vacuumed, and organized to my heart's content and feel happy that I'll be starting off the week with my room in perfect order. School starts again tomorrow and I am really looking forward to returning to my routine. Whenever I get breaks I feel like I don't know what to do. It's like a birthday present you get but don't want. It's still a present and nice, but there's no joy in it.
I've also been doing some good sketching today. I completed two small pictures and started a larger one amidst preparing dinner for myself, which was very good by the way. I'm currently quite inspired by nature, particularly barren nature when it is stripped of its aesthetically pleasing aspects, i.e. leaves and flowers. Remove the trappings and see what is real. Leaves and flowers die with the season, but the plant remains. The plant is life, the plant is real.
Anyways, that is what I am up to right now. I am thinking of going to bed early with some poetry and a hot water bottle. And a snack. Life's not too bad.
Love, Colette
