UGH. Ever had one of those days…two days in a row? I have. Don’t try it. It, in a word, sucks.

Jewelry is not treating me well these days. Don’t know why. Just is. I have one worksurface for both computer work and jewelry work. It’s a built in security measure. Security from what? From me leaving my jewelry stuff all over the place. The other security measure is having two cats who have no respect for trays full of loose beads, but I guess that wasn’t enough pressure for me in the past (my multiple bags of “non-sorted” beads as proof). Anyhow, I pushed my keyboard back, lowered my chair, and decided to be creative yesterday. Creative my big fat (nowhere near 135 lb.) BUTT. Jewelry-making is supposed to be kind of Zen..it has been in the past. Well, the kind of zen moments I was having yesterday involved detailed thoughts of death and dismemberment, so perhaps I should find a different word. I give up. 4 hours later I had jack all to show for my time and a pain in the neck. Literally. How ergo is that? So then Court and I got in an argument over why I should (he says NOT) get the electralift desk I found on sale (only problem is it’s blue–who cares? It’s an electralift desk!!!). I say I need it or I will never make jewelry again (melodrama anyone?) He has some logical argument I refuse to listen to. Whatever. We all know I’m right. Right? Right.

So my conclusion yesterday was: Who the hell am I to “make” jewelry? Do I think I’m something special? And Court said that was irrational and non productive thought. Who _IS_ this man? I went to bed, played Sudoku, and had dreams of a room full of birthday cakes (and I tasted all of them except the carrot cake and what was that doing in my dream anyhow?). I also dreamt I was witness to a dual orca drop from flying blimp pods into a Sea World pool. You shoulda been there. It was awesome.

Today (after enjoying breakfast in bed-yeah that’s right!) I got up with visions of butterflies. Really. I was going to make cascading butterflies out of beads and wire. As with most visions I have, I went to the place where the visions were to be realised, sat down, and did something completely different. Today it was computer stuff. A little of this, a little of that…posted some stuff on eBay…decided to update my jewelry website…worked for 4 hours and then Court said “I made lunch” and it smelled so good so I clicked “Post” and it took me back to the login page. WHAT THE FLOCK of Seagulls?!?!?! I calmly (HAH) cursed out myself and the computer and .Mac and opened a tab and logged in and tried going back to the page I was working on in the other window I’d been working in…and Court tried to both help me and talk me down from the edge of chucking the screen (actual computer too heavy for chucking) across the room and well, THAT didn’t go well. Then I found out it was daylight savings. Another thing for my butt. So I didn’t just lose 4 hours of work (yes, it’s ALL GONE–and yes this has happened before and NO I don’t learn. So be quiet.), I lost FIVE.

Yes, my jaw hurt like heck and yes it hurts now just thinking about it, so I am going to go play Sudoku and dream of a better time and place where three-toed sloths on jetskis drive me to school every day where I get straight A’s.

Oh, here’s some pix for kicks:

this is me laughing because I tried to take a picture and said “My camera is broken” and then realised it wasn’t ON. I smart.

I now have 5 teeth that touch and can eat chicken (like a rabbit eating a carrot). Can you tell I have been eating lots of curry? Blame Court. He’s been experimenting with Indian spices.

Ah, the profile.

Good night.
