This week I have felt like I have been running in place. Stuck. Part of it is that the things I am working on take a bit of time. It also rained three days in a row which did not help anything.
The computer work I did came in the mail. The plates I created for the letterpress are here. It does mean I am going to be cutting paper for a couple of days and then I will be printing. The boyos wanted different things so I needed to create flexibility in the plates but which make the actual printing more difficult. I am not going to worry about it currently. I am just going to focus on the next step which is cutting paper. This is when I wish I had a paper cutter that is much larger then the one I do have. But, I have no space for one that large!
There has also been sadness. I had another friend die. It was a surprise. I think it is part of why I feel like I am running in place. Stuck. There has been a lot of sadness this year tied to people dying. I do find a lot of joy and happiness in the simplest of things. Everyday things but there is a definite counterpoint this year. There is nothing I can change. Be sad for me and her family. Enjoy life everyday and be grateful.
