Stuff and Fluff ...

[texchan]

Must clean house. And have absolutely no incentive or enthusiasm for this task. The more I think about how much I should do and need to do ... the less I want to do any of it. Talk about a vicious cycle. I have been trying to tackle small tasks here and there, though. So things aren't as bad as my mind says they are. I think I'm just ready for changes. And by "changes", I mean a huge, mega-spring cleaning sort of thing. But I know I'm not mentally ready or capable of doing it right now. I know I would get about a quarter of the way through and just walk away, leaving everything partially done. Which would be much worse than putting up with the frustrated feeling. It probably makes no sense, but thus is the hamster wheel of my brain at the moment. It's not pretty.

I grabbed some screencaps the other day, and I'm printing them out right now. I've had a creative urge recently, which is a good thing. Sadly, when I try to write, my brain remains a big blank -- not such a good thing. I thought I might try painting a bit. It's been a while since I did any fancels. I have one that's in-progress -- and has been for months now. Perhaps I'll finish that up. At least I could cross something off my "gotta finish that" list.

Yay fancells! You are very good at them. I totally understand the write/blank mind thing, I'm on "spring break" right now and have a few days at home, and voila! Absolutely no inspiration.

Awww, thanks! (Although I still say you're being way too kind to me. *blush*)

I am hoping painting will kick the creative juices into functioning a bit. I had a little writing inspiration last night -- in the form of some half-baked ideas just as I was going to bed. (Kinda hate that, since I usually lose the idea by morning. But they are still here today. Yay!) So, I'm crossing my fingers that I'll manage to get something done. It's been months since I could write. Bleh. >.O

I hope you recapture your inspiration, too! =)

*hugs back* It's a terrible feeling, isn't it? Ugh.

Luckily, I was able to get the house cleaned. I was supposed to have friends over yesterday evening, so hubby pitched in to help me finish up the few things that I hadn't done yet. Even though I ended up doing most of the cleaning, it still helped to have a little assistance. Funny how that works -- LOL! Our friends ended up not coming because their son was sick, but it's still nice to have a clean house. =P

I haven't pulled out anything for painting yet. Once I decided to invite people over, I figured I should leave stuff put away. I have to paint on our dining room table. Not a problem if it's just the family, because we can work around it all so that I can leave my supplies and project out on the table. It's a pain to put everything away when I'm in the middle of something. Anyhow, I am hoping to paint sometime this next week. *fingers crossed*

In the meantime, here's a link to the fancel page on my website (http://www.s94065996.onlinehome.us/cel-galleries/cel-lar/gallery-redo1-7-06/original-art/tex/tex-fanart-main.htm). (The good, the bad, and the ugly ... mostly the ugly and bad -- LOL!) As you can see, I have a LOT of lines that need painting. Yikes!

No worries about not being around much. I haven't been, either. *hugs*
