I always try to think ahead and plan a bit on Monday mornings. Because this week is Bead & Button registration, I'll have my normal studio day on Wednesday, and a few hours off on Tuesday to get registered for my classes. I received almost 500 of my copper disks on Saturday, so I'm ready to counter-punch and drill those as well as put the next front/back coating onto my current projects and deciding on the decorative patterns/techniques. I keep trying to think of a way to make things less labor-intensive, but there is a certain standard that I have and skimping just doesn't cut it. But I'll keep trying. Wednesday's errand list is growing already, but I should be able to get at least four hours at the kiln, and perhaps closer to six which would make me extremely happy. 
The second Sunday of each month has, traditionally, been "Painting Day" at my local games store. For more than three years my DH and I have been showing up on the second Sunday with paints and primed minis in hand to spend a few hours with a really nice group of guys. But I can't attend in August, September, November and December and often miss other months as well because of conferences/classes/travel. Apparently other people have scheduling problems also because I was the only one to show up yesterday and my friends at the store say that's been more of the norm lately. I remember when we used to completely take over the back room - more than 30 of us getting together. But, I can paint just as easily at my crafting area and it won't stop my going in to look for new minis. It is a shame, though. It was always a good time and I got some good work done there.
