hopefully, but surely!

I leave this Wednesday for Las Vegas. Going home for my 30 year class reunion and a visit to see my mom. Today with the rain, it put me behind. Trying to settle my dog down after taking off his clavical collar and his OCD, Yikes! I need to take a trip to the pet store and buy him a cone collar. Hopefully he can wear it while I am out of town and have his little neck heal from the irritation of the other collar. Meanwhile, tonight he probably should get a shower since he will be in the company of others while I am gone; a fresh smelling dog never hurt anyone. I had grand plans to go into Barneyland and work on an alteration that has been waiting for me since I ended work several weeks ago. Should I say that tomorrow is another new day. Hopefully it will take me the amount of time I have estimated to finish the project. I still need to think about what to take for my trip; not so much as what to wear, but more of what projects can I work on and which magazines should I take. I am behind on much of my reading. I want to say that when my art magazines came out every quarter verses every other month, I was able to keep up with them better. Too much on my plate and I am not even working my regular job. How can that be?

I need to really get on the ball to get my place in a better state....more organized that is. I think for today, a trip to the pet store and back home to get furniture moved and my bakers rack moved into my art studio so that I can move the church pews into my dining area and out of my van. That would be a big accomplishment, especially since everything takes 2-3 times as long as it should with me. I need a swift kick in the rear to get me in motion. Today I was distracted not only with the rain and dog, but with checking email and such. What a time sucker the computer can be. I had better run, again so much to do and if I put my mind to it, I can surely get some of it done.

This title is a far cry from what I am today. At one point in my life, my early twenties, I was much more of a neat freak. I should say, I kept things neat and tidy, unlike my life these days. Not sure what happened? I am once again in the process of organizing my life and house, taking one room at a time. Right now I am working in the kitchen area. I am trying to finish clearing off my dining table that has been a working surface for the last several years. If I really think about it, it was a working station several years ago and then became a collection ground for further art stuff. I actually had dinner at the table last week with my beau. He didn't mind that it was still harboring a few art supplies. I am working to gather all of the recycling stuff from around the table to take out for this weeks collection. I have a stained glass piece that I bought probably several years ago that I would love to hang up. It has just been sitting there waiting for me to do my thing. I love vintage stained glass. My goal today is to get to the large bakers rack that I need to clear off and move into my art studio so that I can display things on it and use the bottom rack for storage. Then I can possibly move the corner bench seat that I found at a garage sale months ago, that is still in my van into this area. This thought is wonderful, so I had better run.

a new beginning

Wow, I can't believe that I am actually doing this. So many times I am slow at getting where I should or maybe where I need to be at any given moment in my life. With a little persuasion from a very special person, here I am. This should be an interesting trip and it will be interesting to see where it takes me and where I go; if nothing else, around in a circle, landing me where I started.

Until we meet again, I am off and running in a different direction....folding laundry that needs my attention.
