Can I build it? Yes I can!

Day 135

I went to my book group last night and found I was the only one who had read the whole book. This was fun as it meant that whatever opinion I had couldn't really be questioned. I've never felt myself such an unassailable expert in all my life. In hindsight I missed a trick though - I could have told them anything about the book, made all sorts of outrageous rubbish up, and they probably would have believed me. Next time I will be prepared.

Am still fighting too much insomnia and exhaustion to be very productive at the moment, and consequently am starting to feel guilty. Well, sod that for a game of conkers. I don't put up with wallowing in negative emotions for more than the minimum, so it's time to get using this blog for it's proper purpose again. (Like all good members of my family, I can feel a list coming on....)

This coming month I will -

1. Follow up on the feedback about my picture book 'I am Red' from Harry at the bookshop.
2. Finalise the script for my second book 'I am a Robin' and start on the artwork.
3. Start a new sketchbook, set myself a theme to research, and get painting again, as it's been too long and I feel out of practice.
4. Lose half a stone.

That last one is obviously the tricky one when I am this sofa-bound, but what the hell, it's time for a change, however I feel. What's the phrase? Act my way into right thinking! I like that. I'm very much an 'if you build it, he will come' sort of person, and I know that doing the same old things while waiting for things to improve, usually doesn't work. Things just stay the same.

So today I will...................take back my library books so I don't get a fine, cook a great dinner for everyone, even if I have to do it all sitting down because of the exhaustion (I have an office type chair with wheels - that would do), clean out the cat litter (Yuk!), and finish the laundry so I can give Denise back the things I borrowed for the party. That's enough. If I do too much I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, which is not helpful.

Better get on then. Cheerio.
