Calming down

Where is the creativity? This has become a bitch blog. Yuck. I'm surprised y'all are still reading (see the Texasism, matherly? ghost? aren't you proud of me? :)

So I'm taking your advice, with slow deep breaths. I feel like I can slow down time just by doing one thing at a time in slow measured steps, focusing on one at a time, completing, and starting a new, taking a rest or a break when I need to, but not frantically speeding hither and thither like a fart in a mitt (as my mom would say).

I got a shit load done last night by just taking it one thing at a time. I even got my hair dry before I went to bed. That is huge progress!! Ever go to work after having slept on wet long hair all day? I don't recommend it.

We are now in our fourth straight day of thick fog, and I'm thinking that probably has a play in all this too--I feel very closed in. But I can't let the weather get the best of me. With the 7-9 months of rain we get here per year, that would be suicide.

I love living on the coast, but sometimes I wonder about moving farther inland, where it snows instead of rains.

I miss the snow. And the creativity.

Creativity never leaves you, it just goes dormant every now and then.
