rebooting the mom-thing

I slept badly Monday night, including waking beacuse I was so sore from working out I couldn't roll over, and again woken from a nightmare that one of my tech kids was a mass murderer, saving and "protecting" me and killing off the others one by one after torturing them. That was... far too intense, really. Especially considering the recent flap over pretty much everything.

So I managed to be awake and making sense, when Great Kate came out and we hit Webs briefly (birthday sock yarn) and then home and talk and then Esselon for lunch with Timna (you should check out her gallery she does AMAZING work) and then more talking before she had to go home.

I spent a chunk of last night working on putting together some kind of portfolio that could be turned into a PDF and submitted to a gallery in Beverly. It is always hard trying to decide what to focus on when I am submitting work because I do a lot, and it varies. I hesitate to submit too much landscape/realism to places that have a more distinct modern vibe to them. In part I would like some place for my more abstract work to go besides behind the cabinet in my studio, and in part I don't want to be seen as a fuddy-duddy. I keep saying, something will become clear. Keep applying and submitting, keep working and evolving, and something will become clear.

in a side note, naps are awesome, especially when they make up for a combined sleep deficeit and good dream debts
