Ok, Sooo... it's almost a week since my last post and this is the first chance I have to blog again. Not exactly as I had a imagined this time away from work, it seems like all I've been doing is just catching up on all that I have postponed or procrastinated about while working. Although I do feel like I have accomplished some of the things I set out to do in the last week, at least half of that time was spent spending money or busywork things that I didn't exactly relish, such as hanging out selling nothing for most of the crawl weekend and tolerating people that I would not normally choose to tolerate, or even be with. If that makes me sound like a snob or a sociopath, so be it.
So, I took time off so that I didn't end up burning up in stress.
And I did gain something in that I met other people that I would like to be around more and I had some enriching and teachable moments, ie:critiquing some photos, which is good. If this is a pro and con exercise I 'd say it's about 50/50.
It does feel good to get out during the day without a fixed schedule too, have lunch with friends or stay in and sleep in. Yesterday I took time in my studio to do some inventory and touch up work and that felt good. I like to have two-three tasks whenever I go there so it feels like I did something. Something so that I don't lose it, something that,in essence saves my sanity!
And now I can actually enjoy my last day of vacation knowing that,while I didn't apply for 400 positions, I, at least, got my master resume completed and got through the art crawl alright, and actually sold something. At the end.
I don't know if I want to do the 3 day thing again tho. At least not before I see what I can do online. Next up: list things on Etsy,mnartists, my art info pages.
