I was looking over this blog earlier today and noticed I never uploaded some What the Duck cartoons like I left an opening for on a post. Right now I just woke from falling asleep watching a lynda.com tutorial. I can’t help it, it is almost guaranteed. I have a package of Tootsie Pop Drop just for this purpose (to stay awake) but the urge to sleep was too great. It is midnight after all and I am old now. Long gone are the days I stayed up until 2 a.m.. Now I get all panicky if I am not in bed (on a weekend) by 1 a.m.. On weeknights, bedtime is 11:30 and I don’t necessarily want to go to bed then. I just know if I need to get up by 6 a.m. the next morning, I better get to bed. This is why I am pissed when I am ready to go to sleep by midnight on a weekend. I use to think of the late night hours as my free time and now I can’t stay awake.
Ok, enough with the sleep ranting up there. I called this post artsy fartsy not nighty nighty. Actually I am not sure why I named as I did. Maybe because the Lynda.com tutorial is on how to turn a photograph into a painting. Maybe because I just finished (sort of) my new website that showcases some of my art (http://nancysward.com). Maybe it has something to do with the What the Duck cartoons I just posted to that earlier post.
I don’t know, its late, I’m tired, I don’t know what I am talking about.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at the race track watching the horses run around. It was part of Public Affairs thank you event. I don’t know what was up but yesterday I was especially sluggish. The morning I did work I couldn’t get it together. That didn’t bode well when it comes to socializing outside my normal work group. I guess I was alright but it took a lot out of me as I was dead tired by the time I got home. Right before I went to bed I tweeted that I need to find a way to recharge my brain waves in cases like that and instantly I was back to normal (whatever that is). Real bright of me to do that right before going to sleep but it ended up being ok. Today at work my brainwaves seemed to be firing ok. I think the exercise of trying to Tweet something interesting was just the right amount of exercise my brain needed to fire up again. I will have to try that the next time.
