Friday The 24th
it’s friday. yeah!!!! I’m so glad. I need a nice relaxing weekend.
I went to the studio today all prepared to print my heart out. I pulled 3 prints Mono I haven’t uploaded them yet because I only like one out of 3. It’s a blue background with a white rhino- outlined. It’s for Mick. Just a practice for the wood block I will be doing shortly. I bought a frame for it today- and will give it to Mick as a surprise when he gets home tonight. Just a little ‘thank you’ for him for letting me do all this art stuff. Getting back into monotype is a really big deal for me. I had a hard time with the inks today- as I am unfamiliar with this brand (water based). I used to use oil base which didn’t dry as quickly. I brought the plates and the ink home to use over the weekend. I want the boys to make one. Then I’ll print it on Tuesday. ah printmaking (smile).
As I was leaving I bumped into my teacher and we started talking about my prints and what not. She told me I seemed ‘off’ all week and wondered if I was ok. I told her there was just stuff going on in my life that was stressing me out and I didn’t go into detail just told her it was crazy. She shared a few stories with me about the crazy people in her life. She told me a particular story about her husbands ex-wife and her whole point was that she just had to come to accept things like this in life. Once she did that- it was fine. So I guess I’m on a ‘new’ path of acceptance. Accepting situation that I can not change. Situations I do not understand. Today at the bus stop the husband parked way up past the bus stop- in a spot he’s never parked before. (prior to last Friday, we parked parallel so we could visit until the bus came- and if my spot was taken he’d jump out of his truck and come up to the van to talk to me.) I just pulled into my normal spot and waited for the bus. I really don’t like playing the avoidance game. Apparently, he does. Oh well. Grow up.
But it’s Friday and I don’t have to deal with bus stops and idiots for a few days.
