Grasping at Straws

02042012AJCI’m working my way up to having scanned all of my drawings.  In July I scanned almost 10 months of Daily Drawings and this weekend I scanned another month Daily Drawings. Today I got up and scanned another 14 Daily Drawings.  It has gotten me up to Valentine’s Day 2012.

That still leaves me a year and a half behind on scanning.  But I’m getting there.  It’s going to be a long process.  But I’ve been drawing more lately, and it makes me want to scan in more so that I can start my Daily Drawing uploads each evening.

Anyways… I’ve spent more time this last week reading, drawing and putting in ‘relaxing time’ into my day; including actually taking a lunch break at work.  It’s done wonders for me.  I forgot how much I loved reading a good book.  I forgot how much I loved drawing on a daily basis, like actually drawing… spending time on it instead a quick drawing.

It’s been good.  Next I’ll get back into biking.  Its been about two weeks since I biked.  Between wet weather, having to wear glasses (for 4 days before LASIK consultation) and general long work hours I haven’t gotten out for a ride in a while.  But I’ll get back on it this week.

So yes… I’m doing things I need to in order to be relaxed and happy.  Getting caught up on drawings, getting into a good routine with built in relaxing activities, staying in shape, and keeping the apartment clean (I threw the last one in as a far reaching goal).

That’s not grasping at straws is it?  I mean its really just an extension of my summer goals.  I’m still working on it.  Prioritizing and all.  And it’s working pretty well I think.
