I got up relatively early for me -- and then went back to bed and slept until 10:30. Semi-bummer. But I hope to do better tonight. (PS== it's already Friday-- and I did do better last night!)
Then I did some work on metalworking, and then watched a tv show-- Top Chef-- yeah I know, how can I watch such junk?-- which is mostly about food, a topic that I know nothing about. But apparently, there is something called "Gooey-Duck"-- spelled Geoduck--which can be made into a rather nauseus-looking delicacy.
Then I painted for a while-- on a still life I set up months ago. It's amazing how long apples not only stay semi=good, but in the same position. I took away one piece (a tall candlestick)-- which was out of proportion, and added a sugar bowl, which fits in better-- although it necessitated a lot of repainting. I felt incredibly exasperated the whole time I was working. I think because I feel so out of control and bad at painting.
Then I went down to the bench class at the jewelry studio, and worked on making another design for the top of the box I'm working on. I noticed that when I'm anxious-- which I was, especially when the teacher was standing near me--I don't saw very well. We were alone there, and I think I was already having a tense day-- and her presence alone with me make me feel very self-conscious. Then I make lots of mistakes and my concentration is very spotty.
Went out to a coffee with my SigO and left all the work I had taken home there.
Guess I have to go down today to pick it up.
Overall, a pretty good day, even if I wasn't in a really good mood. Mood: irritable, anxious, a little fearful and sloppy, but at least pressing forward with things.
