Everyone woke up before the alarm today. I dragged my heels. Hubby liked that he had a little extra time (probably not enough to make it a habit). Homer dog liked that he could get back to playing with his new toy. I sipped coffee and stared at my computer, hoping art-spiration would come to me quickly today.
Once hubby buzzed off to work, I got into a workout. The morning was hot, my muscles were already tired and I did it faster than normal. I pushed so hard I shaved about 8 minutes off. My body may disown me by the end of the week but I’m proud of my efforts.
Next it was time for a mouthful of French. “Salut! Comment ca va?” I tried to be a little more focused and it was more enjoyable. Still having a few issues here and there but that’s what practice is for.

I knew the afternoon was going to be hot, so I tried to get art done early. I wasn’t overly inspired but went to LaLunatique‘s stock photos to do some more human form sketching practice. The ones I chose were rather ‘fairy’ like, so I turned them into faeries. They aren’t share worthy. That lead me to drawing a fairy house.
By the late afternoon it was too hot to even be awake, so I retreated to the bedroom for a nap in front of the air cooler.
I’ve been struggling lately but I can’t talk about it. I feel like there really isn’t any point talking about it. Most of my feels are stupid. I feel… pointless.
I hope your day has been filled with smiles, laughter, hugs and friendship.

Feels are never stupid, and you can talk about them if you want to. And you have at least one point – I love reading your updates and admiring your art! So there, not pointless at all 🙂

It’s just like that old ancient Chinese proverb… ‘There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues’. Let’s just go with that. I hope you’re doing well. =)

I can sympathize- esp late summer- there’s this kind of melancholy about it. But I’m having a much more difficult time with this whole getting dark at 5 in the afternoon thing- I like the cooler weather but the darkness is screwing with my internal clock. I could never live in the Arctic.

The way this summer is going with the heat and bush fires, I’m tempted to go to the Arctic. I’d happily take your winter weather and early nightfall. xD
