I'm
going to have to stop reading the comments to articles and posts I
read on FB. They are making me despise humanity and I struggle with
that already as it is. Something about this medium that brings out
the worst in some people. Or maybe, those are the ones that it
attracts most, the sociopaths. (I
amend this...only certain posts and news items. I've 'met' some
great folks on FB that I am happy to be connected with as a friend
reminded me).
Anyway,
I spend too much time on-line myself and I intend on cutting down and
start spending that time in the studio.
This
moving the shop from the city is taking far too long for my liking.
Stuff is just thrown in the new shop helter skelter, no organization
at all and no ideas even about how we are going to use the space.
I'm getting antsy, everything is in turmoil. I want to get to work.
It's
hard to focus on the new shop when we are still trying to move out of
the old place. Who knew we still had so much stuff in the city
though we are down to the big items like the Tuff Shed that is the
sandblasting booth which we have no idea how to move. We may have to
abandon it and just buy a new one. The air compressor which is
upright and very heavy but we have an inkling how to move it but not
how to get it in the truck or on a trailer. The refrigerator, also
big and heavy. The air conditioner/heater in the old shop. Still
have to move an old truck in the driveway that needs a new battery
which we don't want to buy.
And
it's looking like the closing might not be today after all. It was
supposed to be last Tuesday but the underwriters weren't ready so it
was moved to Friday, today. But now, the lawyers that are drawing up
all the paper work may not be ready til Monday.
Frustrating.
I hate being in limbo.
ReplyDeleteLove your selfie. Frustration becomes you.
You seem anti-facebook to me. I'm actually shocked you're on it.
ReplyDeleteI know, family, grandkids blah blah
well, down to big stuff isn't too bad. the organization part...that's much worse. :)
ReplyDeleteas for social media, i only blog. i read news off the web, but stay away from comments.
I should send my housekeeper to you, she is the queen of organization. The only way I have any semblance to order.
ReplyDeleteMoving is chaos. But you will prevail. It's a huge move ... of course it's taking longer than you hoped.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about comment threads on FB is that you can see every kind of comment. When they turn nasty or people start repeating themselves over and over, I move on to something else.
Sigh. Why are underwriters never ready?
ReplyDeleteMoving is a huge project, but when you have the kind of heavy specialized equipment that you guys have, it just takes longer. Plus it has to be hot this time of year, and very tiring. Ugh.
Is it worth consulting a professional about moving the larger items?
ReplyDeleteI've found that limiting my Facebook time and avoiding all political discussions keeps me sane.
FB posts. I get a lot at the moment about events in the Middle East (good people post them - it's what they're about that gets to me). As the DL says on your sidebar: "the energy of anger is almost always unreliable. It can cause an immense amount of destructive, unfortunate behavior."
ReplyDeleteAgain, evidence of something I don't think many people realize.
ReplyDeleteMaking art can be a hard, technical, physical thing. It's not all staring at clouds and sitting around waiting for inspiration to drift into your life.
Great selfie!
