Ever since we moved here I've been out of sync which in turn makes me out of sorts. I'm out of sync with clay and it seems like I'm out of sync and out of sorts with everything else too. I went to clay class on Tuesday with Gary's camera so I could show you what I've been working on. But I forgot the camera in the car. Gary had taken the car to clean up the motorhome so I didn't get any photos that day.
I brought this lantern project home because the clay was too wet to work with in class. When I got home I forgot to get the pieces out of the car. I remembered them later that night and brought them in to work on the next day. Then I forgot about them the next day since we planned to take the motorhome to the consignment lot. Today I remembered them and went down to take a photo. I think they might still be workable since I had wrapped them with thick plastic. We shall see if I get to them today.
Our household projects are on hold because our carpenter got called away for a seriously ill family member. The mantle wood sits on the living room floor, the bathroom is torn up and the kitchen is the same way. I bought some shelves for a closet and when I got home they were a little too long. They're those plastic covered metal ones and Gary's air compressor to cut them is in the back of the storage unit and we can't get to it. I tried staining the kitchen cabinets but the stain wasn't dark enough. So I go back to the store to get a different stain and so it goes. If only I could get one project done and get my studio organized. One thing always seems to hinge on another. I feel like I'm going in circles and getting no where. I'm getting no where fast.
This morning I'm taking the cats to the vet to get their shots. That will probably take all morning getting the three of them in their cat carriers and into the vet and home again. I think I have too many projects going at once. Even these photos I just took with Gary's camera look strange. Perhaps the camera was too cold since I just got it out of the car. Maybe moisture condensed on the lends. Whoa is me, out of sync, out of sorts, hoping things get better soon. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Oh my, poor you...but there's a silver lining to all this "conbobulation" if that's a word, but you sure know what I mean. Eventually things will settle down, and the cats will be safe and happy, maybe not for a few days. Hope after springtime, you can come up to Black Mountain sometime and visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, I hope you can come up here to visit as soon as we get the house straightened out, it should happen within the next few months. thanks understanding, discombobulated I am for sure. Ha.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot going on, take a deep breath. It will all get sorted out eventually.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like you have so much on your plate that it's hard to concentrate on any one thing. I gave my daughter a clay necklace that I made last year that said, "Breathe". She has a stressful job and when she received it at her office, immediately put it on... as a reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou have had such a busy time, without your familar routines for sooooo long it is not really suprising that you feel out of step. And the pace hasn't slowed down yet.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to yourself. It will get better.
I know you're more anxious than anyone, but don't worry; we're still here.
ReplyDeleteyou have a lot going on.. living in a building site wouldn't be helping.. hope it is all sorted soon..
ReplyDeleteGive yourself tome to settle in, it will all work out just enjoy the journey.
ReplyDeleteDarn, I hate it when I have one of those days too. But just look at it this way...It makes the days that go along just perfectly all the better. You do have a lot going on. I sure know what it's like to have the house torn up, after all the holes in mine to repair the foundation.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, sometimes a deep breath is all I can do. Ha.
ReplyDeleteHi Rian, thanks, I used to keep a lavender sachet in my car for stressful drives, I need to carry one with me and squeeze it periodically.
Hi Elephant's child, thanks, yes my routines are completely gone and I must establish new ones.
Hi Joanne, thanks, yes I am anxious more days than usual these days. thanks for being there.
Hi Anna, thanks, it isn't easy with stuff piled high for sure.
Hi Parkland Potter's Guild, thanks, and welcome, I do need time I just am impatient.
Hi Barbara, thanks, oh yes you do know and at least we are the ones that want this one torn up, I can't imagine what it would be like having to do it when I didn't want to.
