I’ve been a bit listless lately.
Sure, most of it has to do with not seeing Ian nearly as much as I want. Also, I miss Amanda and Jeri tonnes too.
I’m sure part of it is my body adapting to the new diet. It’s not happy with fewer calories, so why should I be happy? I’m not worried, I’ll slog through it.
I think the main problem, though, is creative frustration. I’m following recipes pretty close right now, until I get the knack of this ‘healthy cooking’. Once I get the key processes in place, I’m sure I’ll be able to punch it up like I love doing.
I haven’t done any painting, I’m not a huge fan of painting in the winter. It’s all so… uniform. To mean painting is about colour, which snowscapes and greyskies just don’t really convey. I know others will have different opinions, but they can write in their own damn diaries. (Or, if you want, put a comment about it.)
So, maybe I’ll do some sketching. That medium is perfect for greys! I don’t know what I’ll draw. I’ve actually been thinking of drawing Amy. She’s been in a bit of a funk lately too. Her diet isn’t going quite as well as mine. Maybe I can help her feel better with a nice drawing. Or at least… something.
