The past few weeks I\u2019ve been feeling very low-energy<\/em>. Was it a background, low-level cold? Is it just because it\u2019s March and I\u2019m sick of the endless bleak weather? Is it from being stuck in the house on my own? (Yes, I know I can put the dog in his crate, but every moment I\u2019m away from the house and he\u2019s in that thing feels like I\u2019m abusing him. If only he didn\u2019t wreck things, I could just leave him to have the run of the house.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At any rate, my hubby gets back this evening. Much as I like my own company, and as much as I just want to work endlessly on my own projects, I\u2019m really looking forward to having him back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

…Not that I seem to have got much done this month. It\u2019s been a really busy time with work, so my energy\u2019s been burnt-up by the time I\u2019m finished that; none left to start something else in the evening.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also wondering if this comic book idea I have is maybe too big to start out with. Perhaps I need to do a bunch of small things first, just to figure out how to handle layout and what my publishing style is. It\u2019s disheartening not<\/em> making progress toward a big goal like that \u2014 and maybe there isn\u2019t room for such a big project right now. (\u201cWhen will there be? With kids?\u201d<\/em> Yeah, yeah, I know. The inner voices are not kind, but neither do they help get anything done.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I did update my wee logo-self: It occurred to me that I draw everyone else\u2019s glasses as the frame around their eyes except me. It\u2019s a weird little thing, but it was an inconsistency in my cartoon universe. Also, the proportions of my avatar-head weren\u2019t reflective of how I\u2019m drawing these days. I hated the cartoon that was on my home page, so at least I was able to replace that with the new logo-head until I can do something more there.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"avatar<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is the stuff I think about.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The dog is standing next to me, staring up at me. Again. I really<\/em> need a break from that. Craig will be home soon to tag-team with me and the dog, and next week I\u2019m going to Toronto for work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

P.S. Doug loves the food I\u2019m making him \u2014 phew!<\/em> I can imagine getting bowls of real, cooked food has got<\/em> to be better than facing kibble every day \u2014 though for the past while we\u2019ve been mixing in… dead stuff from a tin. He liked that well enough, so I wasn\u2019t sure he\u2019d like the plant-based food. But he devours it!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
