Thursdaily busy with park visit, ice cream, and other things...

We went to the park today, checked the coloring book proof for Garden Sprites, got cheap ice cream at the university (which she can now say very understandably), went to the bank, went shopping (I managed to get my entire list in 10 minutes thanks to Playland, which Guppy was not only happy to go into, but actively has been asking to go play in!), and mailed 86 coloring books*. I also did 2 loads of laundry, vacuumed, and scooped the catbox, but have not managed to wash any dishes yet.

Garden Sprites will be available tomorrow in time for my First Friday show - my printer absolutely rocks! I will do a full release on Monday.

In brain unwinding, Jake and I are watching Jericho and M*A*S*H many evenings. It's an interesting combination at times. Jericho gets into my dreams.

A little nervous about my First Friday tomorrow evening, but it's a short duration and low-pressure setting. There will be snacks, and I'll get to use my swell new rotating rack.

Off to draw now! No - monthly roundup now, because it's late. Then drawing.


*Not a normal day, but very nice!

Writing

I've written about 5000 words on DB, but shared nothing new.

Other

I got all of the Sea Monster sponsorships out.



I released two coloring books (Tarot of the Water and From the Deep) and reprinted one other that had sold out.
My mom visited, which was wonderful.
I did a painting class at Chena Hot Springs.
I had a week of flu-ish cold-ish sluggishness

It doesn't feel like very much. This month went SO FAST!
