Wednesday was a busy day, and had a difficult time getting started, but once I did it certainly went roaring along. Mowed the lawn,AGAIN, thinking once more this should be the last time. Somehow I doubt that as the weather has been moist and warm. Rain is predicted for the weekend, so I am certain I will once again have a field to mow. God bless horse manure.
Art afternoon was quiet, just David and I for the first hour or so, then Cheri arrived, andI was pleased she was there. Somehow it just isn't the same when she isn't. Must be her artist and guru genes. I worked on the stilllife for the kitchen that I saw in a catalog. I'll be glad when it's done. I love the colors, and shapes, and know it will fit right in with my kitchen, but I know I will feel better about doing my own work. I'm taking my camera everywhere I go now. Need to get ready for this winters work including the theme shows for the gallery as well as exploring and experimenting with my paintings. Sometimes I feel so uptight about trying new directions. Sometimes I really miss Mike and school. It wasn't so hard then.
I thought the gallery meeting went well, and much was accomplished in a short amount of time.
Cheri will be our new Gallery President, and quite frankly I can't imagine anyone else in that position. I know she will do a good job. I put myself on the policy committee along with Patty Music, June, and Cheri. I feel comfortable doing that (after all what is nursing all about?/plus I love the business end of it),and hopefully I will be able to learn more about the workings of the gallery, and most importantly , for me, it makes me feel more a part of the gallery.
After everyone left(I kept looking at the clock) I watched LOST and went to bed to start a new book. I was relieved not to be reading the "KITE RUNNER". My God, what a powerful book. A beautifully written book, brutal and savage, heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, but nevertheless timely and real. It certainly had an effect on me, and a book not soon forgotten.
So, Thursday's chores are done, plants watered and brought in as cold evenings and nights are in the forecast, cat boxes at the ready, backpack and work bag packed, lunches for the next three days ready to go into the cooler. All I need to do is get gas, go to David's, go to the Gallery and th IGA to pick up cat food for the next three days and then I'm off to the "OTHER LIFE".

Man, I read the blog from the day before and understood how you felt. I read the same articles in the paper and felt the same way. I do think that getting so involved in a book like the one you were reading can really infiltrate your real life and taint the way you see things. I hope that's what's dragging you down. If it goes on, I have a lot of experience. Maybe I can be of some help if you want it.
