I think I am going to go to the craft store today. I’ve got something in my head. Any other creative types out there will probably know the feeling of getting something “in your head” and not being able to get it out again without doing something about it in a tangible way. I at least have to go look at some supplies and price them.

I tried painting yesterday. Nothing came of it. I tried knitting yesterday. Nothing came of that either. I swear it’s this awful damp and humidity that is sapping the creativity right out of me. Sure, you can turn on the air conditioning to cool the house down, but when the humidity outside is hovering in the area of 90%, unless you have a dehumidifier, it doesn’t matter how cool the house is. It’s still just miserable. The weather this summer has just been abominable and not in the usual ways. I almost wish we would have a few days of egg-frying heat and low humidity just to dry things out a bit.

Anyway, I have this thing in my head, and I want to do something about it. Of course, that means gathering up the energy to get into the truck and go somewhere. I actually don’t know if I have it in me today or not. I woke up with a sinus headache, and that’s never a good way to start the day.

But first, I think I’ll go back to bed for a little while. I went to bed early last night, but I still feel so damn tired this morning. An hour or two of snoozing with kitties is just the thing to solve that problem. Then I can move on to solving other problems … like what to make for dinner since I forgot to soak the beans last night.
