Kicking myself

averygoodun42While I was cleaning the fridge yesterday (major overhaul including rearranging shelves/drawers) I (re)discovered some dirty brushes I'd stuck in there. About a year ago.
Damn.
I'm not sure I'll be able to fix these this time. Not without soaking them in mineral spirits, which will probably ruin them anyway. I'll try it, because these are my good brushes (only seven, thank goodness, but still...), but I am kicking myself. It makes me feel as though I don't deserve to paint because I can't even take care of my equipment.
It also reminds me that I really haven't had any energy for the last year or so. And that last year about this time, I really was in much worse condition mentally.
So at least there's an upside to all of this. I'm getting better again. Yay!
