These are the tougher days when things feel a little sour.

Hey, that's my coffee! any wonder I feel awful in the mornings

Insomnia and nightmares are going hand in hand right about now. I fully expected that pushing work to online sites would wear me out so I made a point of only focusing on that, photography and processing some existing drawings.

I was right and am struggling to find energy for normal chores. It has been several hours since I decided to make this entry and only another bout of insomnia made me desperate for something to fill time so I am doing it now.

When the energy is a little better the plan is to set up the back room for still photography. It has to be a cheap set up so a bunch of lamps have been treated to new daylight white globes as well as a special blue tungsten one in a spot light. The plan has been to set up a small light box to get better results with this camera. Working on it but totally drained and not getting much else done.

The weather has made the general decay a bit worse. Constant changes in barometric pressure translating into cresting pain each time and adding to the wear.

This house gets very hot in the summer which cannot be far away. It is normally too hot to draw or paint which is another good reason for setting up for photography. If I were well it is only a day’s work but with the confusion and memory element I often wait until some idea clicks about something that needed a home but which I could not imagine where I would put it so I wouldn’t lose it.

There is a small air-conditioning unit which will replace the drawing table by the kitchen if I can work up the energy to set it up. The power will kill my budget but if it cools the house I might not suffer as badly as I have done over past summers. They have been improving. To cap it off. With the constant weather changes and the drain from having pushed myself I feel pretty awful much of the time, crikey I even have hiccups now! Sheesh! aaargh! Hic

Someone very special offered me a bit of drawing work I really wanted and I have had to embarrass myself and say no.

Even too lazy to scan some drawings for the blog, ah well the photographs were taken by me unless otherwise noted
