Oh joyous day! After several days of thick, humid, hot-hot-hot, dark-stormy-rainy gloom...a beautiful day! Barely clouds most of the morning, bright yellow sunlight, kids playing in the circle, good times! Well, we decided not to do any work on the inside of the house today, take some time off to rest.
A few days ago, being away from studio and anticipating a serious painting jones, I picked up a few tubes of acrylic, some new brushes, and three 11X14" gallerywrap canvases. Nice stuff. Okay. So here I go outside happy as a motherfucking clam, skipping and jumping and smiling, la la la la la...right into a huge cloud of MOSQUITOES!!!!!!!!
Not one or two buzz buzz buzz around the ear, but WHOLE CLOUDS of the little bastards. Like gnats do, ya know? But two or three hundred little bloodsuckers.
So I'm running AAAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...back into the house...to run into Lacey, who, while I was outside getting all of my blood taken from my veins to feed the larvae of hellspawn, has "decided" to go into heat ONCE AGAIN! So I'm washing blood and bug parts off of my hands and arms, frantically searching for bug repellent, while my sweet lil' girl is yowling and howling and meowling, eyes rolling back in her head, alternately rubbing and loving and BITING my feet and ankles. Anyway, momz picks up the cat, bless both their hearts, and starts loving and cooing on her "It's okay, I know, it's okay baby" etc.
In the meantime, I've located the bug spray and gotten my shit together to paint. Which I did. Successfully.
Okay. Cut to three or so hours later. Canvases drying. Good work. I'm happy. And hungry.
I made mucho spaghetti last night, so spaghetti breakfast lunch and dinner. No problem. I'm a good cook. Anywho, one of my favorite shows is coming on, so microwave the food...oh boi oh boi oh boi. An episode I've never seen, food ready, TV tray, Iced tea. Yay!
Foods not hot enough. Shit grumble shit! Off to kitchen, where there is still boxes waist high and very little counter space. Looking back at the TV trying to put my asssucking food in the microwave...I hit the plate on the dish rack. Noodles and meat sauce go EVRYWHERE!!!! Drizzling down the counter, plopping into packed boxes, the espresso maker still in its styrofoam from the move has sauce deposited unceremoniously in all the holes in the packaging. Great. And here comes Miss Yowly, who's not allowed human food, to suck it all up munch munch munch and much to my chagrin. No Lacey no...stop...whatever...fukit....
So I eat what's left.
Then thunder.
The sky is all purple and I'm the only people runnin' everywhere. Many, many more mosquitoes. Get the paintings in. Find a place to put them so the cat don't walk on 'em. Yowl YowYowlmaowowOWyowowmao....
I'm beat.
The cat goes to the vet next week. I hate to see such a precious, sweet cat go through this. She's young, it just started. It's time.
Good work today. Three small panels from "The Beekeepers Apprentice" series.
I need a bath and a backrub.
me so looney toonie....
