Because I have to spend so much time coaxing my brain to do stuff, it’s hard to tell when my brain actually just needs a break.

Today, though, I figured it out pretty quickly.

I’m resting as much as I can.

So far, so fun.

Today’s prompt was zinnia.

I drew a monster every day in May (which was big fun 80% of the time)

Now it’s June 1 so I’m starting the Index Card a Day challenge.

That’s 60 days of prompt-based small-format art.

If you want to try it, all the info is here:

Today I had a non-alcoholic drink called a Nick of Thyme.

Apparently it is made with ginger beer, lemonade, and thyme.

It was magnificent and special and fun.

It was an excellent choice.

Tonight we met with some friends we haven’t seen in at least 8 years and it was just like we had seen them yesterday.

I love when friendships are like that, just paused for when you can pick them up again.

I know that some people experience friendship degradation – friendships that deteriorate over time – but for me, unless we weren’t getting along on the first place, my friendships are just waiting for the time we can restart them.
