Lin has been busy with work again this weekend, mostly just a lot of talking on the phone, but occasionally he has to run somewhere and do something. That pretty much has meant we couldn’t really go do anything or get started on any sort of yard work or such with him getting phone calls non-stop and having to leave at a moment’s notice. Ugh. Not that I am complaining. It’s nice to have a lazy weekend.

Currently Lin is playing one of his war games … hunting down terrorists in Bolivia, I believe. All I am hearing is a lot of cussing and gunfire.

I’ve been puttering around alternately snoozing, talking on the phone, and painting. I’ve put the Iris painting away for now. Just got sick of looking at it and working on it. That sort of attitude doesn’t lead to doing good work anyway. Might as well stop staring at it every time I walk into the kitchen. I’ll get back to it when the mood hits me again. The sheep painting had a minor set-back when one large grey cat jumped up on the stool by the table while the paint was still wet and well … cat hair and paw prints. That’s all I am going to say. Good thing I bought 100% non-toxic paints, because I think he even licked it. Since I was having the urge to paint, and neither of the things I have started were working for me, I got out the last canvas panel, blocked out a few shapes and just started mixing and painting. It’s going to be a landscape, of sorts. Who knows what the final result will be, not even myself. I just wanted to paint, so I am painting.

Speaking of which, my latest layer of paint is probably almost dry. I’m going to poke at it, add another layer, and then watch Lin hunt down terrorists for a while. When the camera batteries have charged up, I’ll take a photo of my progress to show you what I am up to.
