The list of things to do is getting shorter. I've learned to enjoy the eb and flow of busyness. 2 weeks ago a teacher at the middle school next to Memorial died and a couple of kids drew his picture. The principal wanted to frame it in the school but asked for the picture to have a little more work added into it. A middle school teacher contacted me asking for my help which I assumed was just advise on how to improve the drawing, instead I was handed the picture to make the improvements. I had hoped to talk Josh into working on it, instead he offered me advise. I have to admit, I did procrastinate working on the drawing but I got in 3 solid work sessions and finally finished it today, as promised. I was glad to get a bit of help from Joe and a student, adding finishing touches. Fixing it up included adding a lot more contrast, a lot more detail and fixing proportions. Josh's advise was not to leave any blank paper or draw everywhere and he assured me my fixes were on target. While I do enjoy drawing and I really haven't done much lately, it's not necessarily fun to work on someone else's project. I'm glad to cross another item off my list.
It was a beautiful morning with a long dog walk. I made scrambled eggs for breakfast for the first time in a month. I came home for lunch and made a big salad. I stayed late after school with newspaper kids again and then ran off to yoga. After yoga I warmed up some chicken for dinner and watched Netflix. I'm thrilled to go to bed knowing tomorrow is Saturday!
