Procrastination was the magic word for November and, apparently, December.
I need to enroll in classes today. That means giving them money, committing to a program of study and testing, and generally making my life difficult for the next two years.
Whee.
But I gotta.
TaiChi went nicely yesterday... not as beautifully as last week, but not as badly as Monday. So it was okay. I made an effort to relax, drink water during the day, and all that.
I've also made progress at work. Instead of trudging blindly through a morass of fiddling, almost pointless, work... I see a light at the end of the tunnel! My moral has improved measurably.
I've found that I can't do diddly after work on Monday through Wednesday, so the Balloon twisting reference is languishing. I added a few more figures today at lunch, and I'm almost done with the first pass at the one-balloon figures.
Then I hope to get back to UnDead. Dammit.
I think I'll ask Marla to help me practice magic tricks. I'll be stealing the magic from her by telling the secrets, but I bet she will give good feedback. The mirror is a pain, since it's hard to watch the trick AND the mirror at the same time. I'm not adroit enough to do it blind yet.
If I could just settle on ONE hobby my life would be so much simpler. At this point, I'm setting up projects for the kiln and precious metal clay, working on magic tricks (a little bit), working on balloon twisting to revamp my skills there, working on the twisting reference (which I'm doing using the twister font I put together last week), learning TaiChi, and learning Ballroom dancing. Oh, and working during the day. I sleep too.
This doesn't include the hobbies I'm neglecting. Such as UnDead, the animatronics, the robotic AI, and others.
I must be insane.
