Last week's sketch

[averygoodun42]

Acrylic on 8X10" canvas board


Didn't get to paint today, but got taken out to breakfast by a painting/creative group friend with a business proposition. Have mixed feelings about the offer, mostly because it feels as if I'll be robbing her. (I bargained my wage down. I'm sorry, but $15/h is too much to be paid to sit around and be company when I would happily do it for free. Why yes, I am a Hufflepuff. And no, I don't like accepting charity.)


I'm feeling like the last year's whining has come back to bite me on the butt. That and my flakiness. *shrug* Don't know what I can do to fix the damage seeing as I will continue to be flaky and whiny for the foreseeable future.


The Curse of the Conference(tm) has started setting in. Servers at Geoff's work are starting to die off just as the deadlines are crowding in. Never fails.


Need to go work on pre-vacation checklist. And really don't want to.


A storm is looming.

You need the money. They are paying you for your expertise. This is not too small a price.

No, she doesn't even want my expertise. I will accept payment to be there, since it is a service (motivation and company) I'll be offering, and if I get to help, I'll take the higher wage, but...

(pretty much) OT: While napping this afternoon, I dreamt I (plus the boys) was staying at your place. I was very stressed about not contributing anything and so wanted to be able to repay all the food you gave us with more, fresh food. ;-)

Ha! I am totally an 'eat something!' nurturer. I would like to think of being about to do this all the time, but the truth is I rarely have people over for dinner.

That's a rather wonderful painting. I could look at it for a long time.

Ooooh! paid work - even if you are being a Hufflepuff about it!
