Today has been super hot! In this heat it’s so so hard to get anything done when it’s this hot out. I don’t even feel like eating. Just nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. So, that’s pretty much what my day was filled with, nothing. Well, maybe a bit more than nothing…I sat in our living room, roasting, watching a new (to me) TV show on Netflix with my daughter. I think it’s called The Witches of East something, hmm, I can’t remember. I kept saying The Witches of Eastwick, which was a movie from years ago. I think it had Jack Nickleson, Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler (spelled wrong??) in it. And that’s super strange that I actually remembered all of that, it is so out of character for me – lol! My hubby is super good at remembering things like that. One of my good friends is too. She is super good at it actually! If you play Trivia Crack on the iPad, or any trivia game, you want her on your team!! Anyway, that kind of went off on a tangent, hee hee!! East Side! That’s what it’s called, The Witches of East End. That’s what the show we watched all day is called. Netflix is super good at drawing you into shows, because it just continuously plays the show, episode after episode. The difference with today was that I was painting a ceramic fairy while watching tv. It’s the first time I’ve “arted” in a long time. I was using acrylic paint, which is so different from the watercoulors that I usually try to paint with. Not that I’m any big artist or anything. I wasn’t born with some amazing talent or anything. Basically, it was the opposite. My sister was so good at drawing. I was super envious of that. I’ve had this urge or feeling that tugs me towards drawing and painting. However, I’m not an amazing artist. I wish though, because I love how I feel when painting. I want to take an actual drawing course, to learn the basics. I’ve taken a couple watercoulour courses and just really really like it. Most of the other people in the courses were talented and I felt a bit like a little kid with my lacking skills! But, I really enjoyed it. I could get lost in it. I really  wish I did it more often! I have an amazing art desk (that my dada made from a China cabinet thing) but I never seem to use it. I should really find time to though, like once a week or something. I need to take that time for myself. My pain Dr said that I need to do something fun at least once a week. He did say “outside the home”, but at least it would be something that I enjoy. I suppose I do have some small sets that are portable and it wouldn’t be too difficult to walk or drive somewhere inspirational to paint/draw/write. Hmmm something to start doing…???

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
