Life, on a schedule

I won't go so far as to call this a wasted weekend but I didn't get done what I had hoped. Saturday was worthless. I had no energy at all, couldn't sleep enough. I guess three weeks of sleep deprivation finally caught up with me. So I wrote that day off hoping Sunday would be more productive. And it was, for chores like laundry and cleaning the branches out of the yard, but suddenly it was too dark to go back to the car wash and get new pictures, and a run through the Deep Ellum Arts Festival took too much out of me to start on my bathroom sketches when I finally had time to do it. It occurs to me though that if I don't create some structure soon, the chores will always win. So I'm going to make a schedule for myself. We had to do it in 617 and it was a great exercise. Tomorrow I'm going to try to figure out a realistic deadline for these projects and maybe some realistic hours to work on them. And hopefully I can keep enough flexibility on the weekends to at least do the dishes and get out of the house a little.

One cool thing happened though... I was driving home at 4am Sunday morning (don't ask) through Princeton and I noticed the car wash had two street lights shining on it, one orange and one white. I decided then and there that I definitely want to set up a night scene with street lights. I had the camera and the gazing ball with me (because you just never know) but I couldn't see getting out there at 4am by myself shooting pictures. But this will happen. Something to remember when I set up my schedule tomorrow.

By the way, if you're wondering what the deal with the gazing ball is, it will all become clear when I start doing some lighting. So stay tuned.
