Day 2

Well, Today started off a little better. I didn't oversleep, which is always a plus.. I had my slimfast for breakfast, worked and at lunch, traipsed down to the Farmer's Market with my coworker and friend, M.
It was a very pleasant walk and honestly it was nice to get some fresh air and sunshine. Today was our longer day at work, so a nice break. The Farmer's Market wasn't as full as it has been, which is understandable as the summer has come to a close and we're creeping into fall, but there were still some great pumpkins, tomatos, squash, peppers and apples there. I nabbed a really pretty golden apple and got M some zucchini. Great stuff. Then we went by the cafeteria, and I flubbed. I was so hungry and that Hot Brown Melt looked so good. I got it, green beans and steamed carrots. I didn't get a soda. I did get green tea, and had a bottle of water before I left work.
So in getting home, I still felt kind of .. bleh. Have for two days. My mind is having a hard time settling the past few days. All I really wanted to do was just go to bed. I wanted the day to be over. But even I can recognize that when you're not especially tired and you want to go to bed at 8:00pm, that's probably not a good thing. Besides, I said I would draw everyday.
So, I got out my paper, pencils.. and looked for my circle guide. I use my circle guide for everything. I mean everything. Celtic stuff, cartooning, etc. And I can't find it. So, in an effort to procrastinate even more, I ran out to staples. I now have a circle guide and some swooby erasers. While I was out, I ran by (i know.. horror of horrors) Dunkin Donuts and got a vanilla Chai. there goes the 1800 calorie limit. This is NOT going well. And I called another friend of mine, T.
In the course of making him laugh so hard he almost wrecked as I recounted the story of the epic package that TRIED to make it's way to England and the postal worker who gave me the number for a single chat line and told me it was the claims department, he suggested I get out of the apartment more.. and recommended a funky little coffee house downtown on High Street called "Common Grounds".
As anti-social as I am, that actually sounds like.. I don't know.. fun. So, we're going to make plans to meet down there.

whew.

So, I get back, start to fiddle around with some cartooning and realize that I haven't actually drawn a cartoon in .. almost years. I'm very rusty. But within 30 minutes I had a cartoon outlined (simple cartoon) with facial expressions, and low and behold.. I remember my password and login to my old comic and voila! an updated comic page. How about that?

I also look down and realize it's almost 10:30pm, I've not tried to go to bed in an effort to just make the day end and I remembered to blog. 3 out of 4 items isn't bad, but it's not good enough. Ah well, we'll try again tomorrow.
