I want to know who swiped my motivation today. It started out well enough, I got up reasonably early for a Saturday and finished the illustration I intended to do (which I'm quite happy with) before lunch. But I have gotten jack squat done since then... blew off grocery shopping when someone cut me off in the turn lane, wimped out on going to see the Oscar-nominated shorts program, ate leftovers rather than go out for dinner, and have made no headway on another drawing I wanted to do before tomorrow.

I blame it on eating salads two days in a row.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wasn't me. I haven't seen any motivation since winter began.

Me either. I think my motivation flew south.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

New word I learned today that I wish I hadn't: humanure.

Happy birthday, Laura! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy Birthday, Laura!

Matt, I'm sorry I stole your motivation. I needed it to start clearing a space in the stuff explosion I'm currently calling an apartment. If it helps, I suspect your motivation will be heading back to you sometime today.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Anyone that loves clutter removal is welcome to a free Florida vacation. My friends used to tease me about the level of perfect order in my house, and then there was kids, and a business to run, and things got so out of control.

The days when I moved more often helped too. There is nothing like moving to get things in order. Oh well, not moving anytime soon. I've been thinking of using the 15 minutes a day method of clearing the debris field I call home, but it likely will only last 2 days.

srsly. I love finding boxes and free packing supplies - I am huge with the scavenging - and I love packing up a house. I also love unpacking, but tire of it faster.

There's money to be from this, msbelle. I swear I'd pay you and your travel expenses to come pack up my apartment when I had to move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Laura!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wonder if I could make a small business out of helping people pack -- charge $15 an hour or something. I wonder what would be a fair price for 'amateur' help.
