Topsey-Turvey But Accomplished

What a productive if topsey-turvey day Wednesday was. Because of the various firm errands and appointments I had scheduled, my normal schedule was shot to hell. But...I ended up getting so much accomplished in spite, despite, or merely because of the shake-up. I started by doing my first load of laundry at 4:00 am - yes, a ridiculous time for laundry, but time saved. Then I had lunch for breakfast - OK, a small bit of explanation. I had a lovely text-message coupon good for two days allowing me a hamburger with fries for $5 if I purchased a drink at my local Perkins. Their Tangler-burgers are amazingly good and coffee is necessary. So...a wonderful lunch for breakfast.

I wandered Staples for a half-hour of price comparison. I have a 20% off deal that exists for a few more days, but I'm not sure I saw anything there to convince me to buy. Their prices tend to be more expensive. There was a Logitech washable keyboard that was tempting...but I didn't break down and buy it. I'll check my store supplies and make sure I do/don't need things before maybe buying on Friday morning.

The keyboard can be washed. I LOVE this!

Finally, after picking up my store supplies from the store that was going out of business I did a quick grocery shop and set up to work on art for the rest of the day. I continued doing the laundry (of course) but also managed to transfer and ink out seven separate panels by the time I put my sketch pad away at 9:00 pm. I have decided I will have to do a single photo montage for one illustration and there is one pure drawing that I want to do of a beautiful visage - a perfect response to CB's character. I only hope I can do him justice.

And Aearwen and I talked for 90 minutes in the late afternoon. I completely lost track of the time. I was inking out one of the drawings while talking with her and before I knew it she, wise person that she is, said that it was probably time to call it an end for the week. I don't have a lot of people I can talk and talk with and it's always such a pleasure to exchange writing tips, story ideas and family notes with her. It's been a year or so now that we've been talking every week and I absolutely love it - one of the high points of every week for me.

It's always fun to talk to friends on the phone.

So today, go with the flow to allow things to be accomplished, and treasure your friends. You'll go to sleep tonight with a well-satisfied smile on your face as you reflect on the day you just lived.
