Insomnia

So one of my resolutions for 2012 is to post on this blog at least once a week. Today is my first attempt of the year. And I have no idea what to say.

Insomnia monsters had a party at my place last night and I finally accepted defeat around 3:30 and got out of bed. I made some chamomile tea and a bowl of oatmeal (half of which ended up on the floor because I was partially brain dead and didn't think of the consequences of pouring boiling water into a cheap deli food container) and then I worked on a couple of art projects I had started earlier in the evening. So I was productive at least, and by finishing one of the pieces I was able to make enough space in my head for a few hours of sleep.

I have set many art and writing related goals for this year. Added up they seem a bit overwhelming, but by taking them one at a time I'm finding myself already in a more productive creative rhythm. One painting almost completed, 3 mini pocket shrines started, one altered book done and shipped to its inspiring recipient, 5 haiku penned, and I think I feel a poem coming on. All of this since Monday!

I have also decided that my next tattoo will most likely be a faery mermaid with wings that look like the fins of a beta fish.
