It is late. I am exhausted.<\/p>\n
I’m astonished at the responses my self-portrait post generated. I seem to have touched a nerve. I appreciate all the comments! I’m also very grateful that I was featured in the first issue of The Big Fat Carnival<\/a>, which was posted on February 8<\/a>. I’m in section two: Body Image and Self Image.<\/p>\n Work is going well. I’m still adjusting. I have (mostly) not made art, journaled by hand, knitted, or cleaned the house in the past month. I can’t keep up with my blogroll. I haven’t called my parents in weeks; the three-hour time difference means it’s nearly midnight by the time I’m home and done with dinner and able to call on a weeknight. (How can it be mid-February already?!) However, I have<\/em> been reading, working out, and getting rest. I do hope to find pockets of time for the other fun stuff.<\/p>\n My job often requires I work at a project on the weekend. Mostly this is fun. I just need to streamline my time management. Tomorrow Husband and I will get up early and go to Half Moon Bay State Beach to help on an environmental project. This will take the majority of the day. And I really need to dig out my desk so I can see the surface of it.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, I leave you with this:<\/p>\n Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.<\/p>\n –Zora Neale Hurston <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is late.
