Pop art pup
Plus all the things I did to procrastinate writing this
Hello Friend,
Last week I made a pop art style painting of my dog, but instead of immediately getting it ready to share and actually writing this newsletter, I launched a forensic style cleaning effort on my keyboard. We’re talking rubbing alcohol, cotton swabs and compressed air.
Once that was completed, I wiped down all screens. Then I took apart the mouse and cleaned inside of it. As I was removing remnants of bagel crumbs and dog hair, I was wondering how much more messy would my house be if I didn’t choose to put off the things I should be doing?
But in truth, cleaning is often the thing I should be doing, (the subject of this week’s painting sheds a LOT), and in those cases I’m well versed in procrastinating by playing solitaire on my ipad, or just doing a full face plant on the couch. I’ll even make art sometimes, but again, it has to be when I’m avoiding something else, get it?
Yeah sure, this sounds bonkers, but I don’t have time to discuss it further because the sparkling clean ipad screen is practically begging me to play a game on it right now.
I’ve also been working on new button and magnet designs for my shop and can’t wait to share them with you soon!
Hope your week is off to a lovely start.

This is a Universal Truth in this essay for the procrastinators and just plain avoidant walking this planet.
Oh what I could accomplish if I had the unstoppable energy of my SIL, her heels clicking on the stale floor at six a.m., ready to seize her day and make that dollar that calls her name and wrenches her from her bed. Then again, a cup of coffee and laptop on my lap well after I've convinced myself to step full weight onto the floor, ignore the pain shooting through my body, and get on with whatever the day offers me. There will be surprises, and that's better than a dollar any day.
