rollercoaster...

I wish the mood swings would stop.... I guess I just have too much time on my hands.

I know eventually things will even out and it will feel "normal" again.

Today is first Thursday, I'm going to head downtown tonight and check out the shows and stop by the newly remodeled Seattle Art Museum to see me some art. Hopefully by getting back into the groove of going to things will snap me out of the funk.

Sleeping in.

I didn't get out of bed until 7:45.. that's late for me. Getting ready to trudge through another day... In my mind I know what I should do today but I really do not have the urge... I know if I do what I need to do I will feel better so I will try to get some things crossed off my list.

I still haven't opened the package. I can control myself.

I suppose I could look forward to things. Living with my dog. Showing my family Chicago. Spending time with my nephews and niece. Earning money... The ocean and mountains. Summer camp.

creak...

That's the noise my body made this morning when I got out of bed. I should get out and run today to test and see if my recording device works sufficiently.

I received an email yesterday from the curator that I sent my images to. She said If I was interested I could have a show at her gallery in Chicago next year (the skeptical part of me is thinking there's got to be a catch). She lives in Rome (ahhh Roma!) and has a gallery there as well. I'm waiting to hear back from a woman who is having a show there right now as to how it works. I'll wait to divulge more after I get more details.

Yesterday I was in a funk... I'm feeling better today though. I have to get things done today. I have to pick up my mounted and laminated images for the MFA show, finish up applications and get some homework done.

Last night my class heard Ernesto Pujol talk. He was very engaging.. I enjoyed what he had to say about his work. He's working on a project this summer in Boston where he is doing walks around different islands in Boston harbor. Maybe I'll fly to Boston to join him on a walk...

In order to feel better.

I am taking myself out on a date to see Dreamgirls. I'm going to have popcorn too.
Hopefully this will help do the trick (of getting the funk out of me).

currently

I'm putting together a playlist on iTunes called "depressed but going to be okay mix" I know it will be okay but I'm on the verge of tears today for some reason. I went to a WW meeting this morning where it was said that this week is the hardest for people because of the weather, post holiday let down, just general blahs. I agree.
