day 21

i never know what to say for these milestones. i see steady improvement moving myself back to my old self. (this is a good thing!)

i'm making an effort to draw every day and to try to turn off my internal critic, let myself do practice sketches before drawing the "final" draft.

i'm making an effort to get things done on the weekends in a major way ... and smaller things during the week.

i say making an effort, but really, i'm doing it. and i'm not beating myself up if i forget somethign one day - i just redouble my efforts to not forget something the next day.

closest thing to a milestone is the building of the DVD case in the living room. it's something i've wanted to do for ages, but needed my other half to be ok with it (since it's an inset bookcase). since she is still unmotivated to work on the house (unless i begin working on something), i have to take the lead on everything. i guess that's my milestone ... i'm not waiting for her any more. i have things to get done and i'm doing them.

last weekend that meant i got all of the wood to build this DVD case and began ripping open the living room wall, cutting out the cruddy paneling, avoiding the stud which of course was right in the middle of the way, adapting my plan, cutting up the wood I'd bought and putting the whole thing together.

this weekend i need to do the trimwork on it and paint it. i'm considering postponing that one week and allowing myself some extra time to play drums this weekend instead - providing i get some time alone in the house. (other half can't stand the drums) i was going to play the drums last weekend, but felt it was more important to me to get the DVD case done instead. maybe i'll just select the paint this weekend and allow myself time to play.
