Inspiration

Day Off was partly sunny! It always feels great to see the Sun after so many grey n rainy days. I let Mischief out on the deck for a long time while I puttered about. Tons of people n dogs were outside playing n walking all over the place.

.

My problem neighbors have been away! I got better sleep, so was able to get up n outside before missing all the pleasant weather without the groggies. Thankfully, my TV is still working after the digital switch over. I wasn't sure it would, because I have cable, but don't use a cable box. Weather Guy warned me to enjoy today, because grey's moving back in the next few days again. Rain Toad has been working overtime, more than me... Every day I dump out the water, n haven't had to water anything. Most of the plants aren't dry enough to transplant, tho some did finally get done.

.

While I was waiting for the comforter's wash cycle at the village laundrymat, I walked a block down to the bluff n got that top pic of the pier. The watercraft traffic is picking up big time. It was about 6:30 pm n Marc's, the pizza place, was very crowded. There were droves of boisterous teens hanging about uptown. Every one seemed out n about to socialize in the dryness. Except me, doing chores with only my cam for company on a Saturday.

.

The pic at the bottom was taken from the little bridge near my house, while on my way to the market this evening. I'm fortunate not to have to go out of my way to get these inspirational sights into my day. So even tho I had to do errands n chores, I got to enjoy minutes of it, n captured part of it to share.

.

Sometime soon tho, I'd like to stop n relax without pressing issues dictating priorities in my free time. I haven't had two days off in a row since September! I don't know anyone else who can say that. I really need a vaca, n tho I qualify for one as of this week, work won't let me have one until after the busy season of Summer on Cape Cod.

.

The truth is, even if I hit the lottery Jackpot this week, I wouldn't slow down. There's so much catch-up to do here between chores n backlog projects. It would sure feel good to not be overtired finally, enough to be in the mood to mess around with unplanned experiments painting n stuff. I haven't had time to do so much I've thought of recently.
.

Lately I've been just working on the "needed" n doing none of the "wanted." Other folks got me missing so much rest I can't think to organize myself better. I've got a zillion snippets begun n unfinished to work on. Work has me wiped out with blistered fingers n toes, n even that doesn't stop my brain's creative functions from spitting out yet more projects I need more time for... I crave more musical instrument time n must be content with an hour-

.

I'm here doing this, because I don't have to plan it or do it carefully, n I like to do it! Lists of writing projects hang in limbo awaiting more inspiration to key, but I know this time is too limited to accomplish much, n then I won't get to everything else needed, because it takes me over...

As I went to the Cumbies store for milk under two bux near midnight, rain started up again! One Day Off without grey rain was better than none at all... Why is it easier to think, plan, n dream on sunny days?
