My day off today. I finally have a day to craft out. Work on my clay. Spit some shit out.
Bernie had other plans. She went to the dentist early in the morning, had me watch for the plumber. Me and Hunter watched 'How to Train Your Dragon'. The plumber was a no show. Bernie finally gets back from the dentist. We have breakfast together and I take a shower. NOW the plumber shows up. Forgot the cardinal rule: if you want to summnon a plumber, take a shower.
By now it's 11am, and I haven't bent a wire. Haven't kneaded any clay. No worries, the day is still early. Bernie asks me to work on her gallery glass project, so I do a few designs for her. While they dry, she reminds me that we need to get groceries. We go to several stores. She takes me out for a late lunch. By the time we get out, it's time to pick up Chelsea, head home and start dinner.
I forget what we ate, I wasn't hungry. I usually don't eat as much as I do on my days off with Bernie. Dinner comes and goes. By now, Bernie's gallery glass designs are dry so I prep the window and apply. It's a lotus and koi design. I get distracted with Bernie's project, and most of my evening is gone.
I'm still determined to start the armature on my next clay project. It is my day off after all, so it's now or never. I spit out a dragon frog armature and start on the aluminum foil filler. My biggest challeng is the belly. A proper fragon (frog-dragon= fragon) needs a big, fat belly.
I was able to get in a good 45 minutes today for my projects, altogether. But I was able to create the wings for my serpentine dragon and get a good start on my next project.
