Before Anyone Can Say Anything

What day is it?! Ah, it's only Tuesday... and what am I doing up this early?! It's only 9am and I am already struggling. However, I did have a delightful conversation last night and have made a new friend. We made plans to work together in the near future, and I am really excited about it.

If I'm delusional due to little sleep and if I'm thinking correctly, I really should dedicate at least an hour to reorganize my calendar and inbox so that I don't get things mixed up. Meetings have been cancelled, accepted new Zoom call invites; and the meetings that have been cancelled have been changed. Huh?! Yeah, me too.

I have an art vlog (video) to finish editing; and before anyone can say anything about my shitty vlogs, let me go on ahead of you MF's and say "Yes! I need better lighting." (laughs)

And currently I'm wondering if I'm wasting most of my morning trying to do voice-overs on these clips because, all you need is the visual, not the explanation right?! I don't know but, I feel pretty rusty AND pretty tired. Off I go for a nap at 9am.

"Get It Together, Bih!"

So I'm sitting here at my desk in my studio sipping on my iced coffee with my bougee metal straw that I thought my mother threw away, acting as if I got my whole day, week, month planned out and put together. Wrong-o! What's happened is, I've piled a lot of things upon myself - unknowingly. If this were coming out from someone else, I would have gotten on their tail like "Get it together, Bih!"

So what needs to happen is, I need to be on a schedule. My husband had mentioned this to me two months ago that I should do this. And when I thought I tried it, I really haven't. In other words, I did, but I never followed it. Now I need to go back to previous hand-written journal entries and see what I have written out for myself to see what needs tweaking. I'm quite sure that I need to since plenty of things have happened since.

I hate the thought of penciling in things because, choices should be definite, right?! And when you pencil things in, it means that it's not serious. At that point, it becomes procrastination.

It Took Me Out

I get tired and sleepy when things don't go my way. One hundred percent. I am writing this from my phone laying down in the livingroom on my couch. I just started painting a sketched canvas of a raccoon I drew a month ago with 0.99 cent paints. I am beside myself that I didn't bother to swatch them before applying them to the canvas. They are very watery and not quite true to the color outside of the bottle. I mean, I knew that part but it was completely off, totally different colors; about four shades difference. I know I can reapply/repaint over the mistakes but, what I'm complaining about is, these little marks on the canvas, being too dark, being too transparent, really took me out.
