No Zombies Need Apply
Apr. 4th, 2008 11:59 pmI am without brain.
Accomplished last night and today:
- Finished the three handles, one of which, in spite of resolution to keep it simple, morphed into a rather odd snake.
- Finished the cell cup I absolutely needed to finish.
- Made progress on the raven bowl.
- Discovered one of the cell cups left in the basement was *not* in fact bone dry. Commenced, against my better judgement, to etch the design, so that the series can be completed to my satisfaction, just not for the open house next Sunday.
- Realised that had I done one *or* the other of the last two, I might have finished that single one.
- Laid everything out to dry overnight.
- Took cold medication and went to bed.
- Got up. Laid the mugs out in a better way that would mean less stress on the bases and more air circulation around the whole.
- Went back to bed.
- Lay there fretting for a long while about whether Steve would even let them get bisqued.
- Lay there fretting and stressing about all the things left unfinished.
- Chanted "You did what you could" a few times out loud.
- Slept badly, and pretty much catless.
- When Colin's alarm went off, got up to feed the cats.
- Lay back down feeling both tired and depressed.
- Got visited by Irina, who was, alas, in a mood to play and evade petting, but sat where Colin's pillows would be if he didn't have the sense to hide them, and pounced on a random loose thread.
- Said goodbye to Colin, who dumped Irina on my feet, where she, miracle of miracles, stayed and napped.
- Got woken not an hour later by Elise wanting me to pet her. Convinced her it wasn't happening. She slept on the back of my head.
- Woke at ten, impressed that i actually got sleep. Actually cuddled Elise for a while.
- Packed all my pottery at home in one box. Lugged it (F*****g HEAVY) the 8 minutes to the bus stop. Decided not to feel quite so bad about not going to an exercise class today.
- Got to the University in as short order as possible. Discovered Steve was not there and there might be an opportunity to piggy back on someone else's bisque.
- Discovered that only 6 of my 9 plates were even put into the class bisque, meaning I had *way* too much stuff to actually fire with someone else. Signed up for my own kiln Sunday/Monday.
- Glazed 13 things.
- Went home. Cleaned the livign room and dining room.
- Had guests over. Ate Colin's pizzas-from-scratch. Watched Kiki's Delivery Service with people who hadn't seen it before. Realised belatedly it was very apt to the moment.
- Plans for tonight and pre-archery tomorrow: veg. I have just enough brain to type this, and no creative endeavour is possible just yet.
- Any Zombies invading will get poor pickings. Please find another house.
