Daily Notes- April 14th

Finding the graphite pencils I purchased long ago in Europe--- has made this image possible.  I filled in the white spaces.  The graphite is smooth as soft butter on the page.  On the media fast Week 4 - I went back thru the journal this image was in and colored spaces on so many drawings.

My Coffee Buddy is now going to be my Walking Buddy.  Yeah!!!.  It's how we began.  Then health/breathing issues for both of us stopped the once or twice a week walk.  But we are back to walking.  In Town.  Places to sit and rest.  Places to get water or coffee.  She is 75 and I am 72.5 so we pace ourselves, especially as we begin.

Nothing from Goodwill.  There was a striking, painterly tee top from Vera Wang.  I carried it around for awhile.  Not sure it would fit.  And, I am not really sure it ever would.  Not sure my daughter would want it.  So I left without making a purchase.   But I did drop off my Five Things.

If I continue to go to Goodwill on Sunday--I will also continue to drop off Five Items.

I haven't read about the coming week's exercises for the Artist's Way.  I'm not really very good at doing the exercises or the artist dates.  I have started writing in the book instead of on separate paper.  I guess I will have to burn that as well when I finish.   I read a review of the author.  She is described as a failure in every artistic endeavor she has tried.  Also been addicted to alcohol and later drugs.  So rehab and AA.  I have no idea if these comments are true or false but the AA sounds about right.

We stopped at the grocery on the way home.  It was expensive and we hardly bought anything.  I have a can of tuna in the fridge and I think I will mix up some tuna salad and have it with the remainder of the greens in the fridge.  A Big Salad.  Easy enough to manage with my jaw still not enjoying chewing anything.  I forgot to buy another box of cream of wheat.  The only thing I can eat for breakfast.

I added THREE strips of little squares to my pink block yesterday afternoon.  I was going to push on for the fourth and last strip but it felt like my heart wouldn't be in it.  Push is not a creative word.  I mixed green and blue and tan into those strips.  It changed the block.  But still okay.  Different than I had thought...... but the project was to use up all those tiny squares.  So, different is where I am going.
