Today is not my day. I’m just not feeling inspired, and wish I could teleport back to my cozy home and climb back under the covers. Why? No good reason.
Perhaps it’s because last night I had a drab dinner of Subway and sat in front of the television and watched that horrible Jen get kicked off of Hell’s Kitchen, with a sprinkling of the AFI 10 top 10 movie list, finished off with a little bit of Tila Tequila (I’m inexplicably drawn to this disaster of a show…!) What I really wanted to be doing was creating new pieces for my shop, but I force myself from time to time to take a break and do something different. It was an unsatisfying evening.
Perhaps it’s burnout from thinking about getting my business off the ground 24 hours a day (yes, I have dreams about it…)
Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s finally gorgeous outside and I have yet to tune up my bike and take it for a spin around the lovely trails nearby.
Or perhaps I’m a little bored at work? Summertime is slow, and when it’s beautiful and warm outside I frequently glance out the windows and feel like a puppy must feel starting out the window and waiting for it’s master. I long to be at the lake.
I keep telling everyone that having the summer off from school from age 5 to 18 is just a terrible set up for major disappointment and angst in adulthood.
Sigh.
Somebody say something to cheer me up, please!

You are so right! Summer vacation from 5-18 IS a huge set up for disappointment for the rest of your life, LOL!

Just hang in there! This happens to me from time to time. I just take a break from all things creative, or I work on something totally new. I think it is common for all artists/creative people.

maybe there’s something in the MN air… I’m having a tough day too.
I finally had to get out of the house and watch my kids run around like crazies at the splash pad. Now I’m feeling a bit better.

You are not alone! I’m on the east coast and having been feeling kinda blue. I think I’m gonna go for a bike ride!
Hang in there! We’ll all be in it together!

I had the same feelings and took the day off yesterday! Felt zapped of all energy and then proceeded to do tons of stuff around the house … cleaning stuff … not fun! Oh well! Play hookie one day; my advice!
