Daylight Savings Time day, one that always comes across as somewhat disorienting. Swam around 11:30 AM (new time), paid some bills, bought some groceries (and batteries). Not sure what else I'll do; the day feels weird.
Update: well, it's a bit after 10:30 PM and I know I'm not going to do anything worth writing about tonight. Until tomorrow, then.

November 6, 2010 (Sat)
Very, very cold. Some snow on the rooftops. Since this is Saturday, I'm not really expecting anything to happen. But who knows?
My cat decided she wanted me to be around her. Just to keep an eye (or an ear) on me, I think. She wants the ambient company.
Went for a drive, one purpose of which was to buy new ear-plugs. But Dicks no longer carries the kind I want. I'll have to search around I guess.
Worked some on some paintings. And that seems to be it for today. On to tomorrow.

November 5, 2010 (Fri)
Did some work on Paint Blog 2, Panel 5. Coming along nicely, though still needs work.
Work was slow. Water in the ear and a general blah feeling are slowing me down. Watched the first half hour of "After Hours" and I found it off-putting. Probably see the rest tomorrow and try to get it in the mail.
Slept decently, though the night was very, very cold. Only woke up twice, which must be a record of some (recent) kind.
Went in and did my 25 laps, bringing this week's total (including Halloween) to 250. Yeah, too much.
Watched the rest of "After Hours." Still not impressed, alas. No other creative work done, other than some cartooning.
Tomorrow is the day of rest. See you then.

November 4, 2010 (Thurs)
I was only up for a short while after posting yesterday, and thus only did a little bit of painting. I thought I would start putting the day of the week in these entries, largely so I can know myself what day it is.
Up around 9 AM to answer the phone. The doctor needs more blood, so in I will go. Got my swimming done around 12:30 and now we'll just wait a bit before visiting the MD.
Blood test done, more swimming around 10:30 PM, and that's pretty much that. General lack of energy and inspiration, though I think it's mostly the former keeping the latter in check.
See you tomorrow!

I don't feel terribly well today. I don't really feel like swimming, for one thing, though I suppose I probably will anyway. Blah and more blah.
Minutes after typing that, I went swimming. Go figure. I really do enjoy it, for the most part.
Update: well, it's nearly 10:30 PM and I'm wondering if I should go swimming again. I still feel kind of blech, but I also feel a kind of compulsion.
Did a number of additions to the old Paint Blog 2 canvases (panels 2 and 3 to be precise). These are works that haven't been touched for a couple of years (at least). And I think I've done some good work, they kind of "woke up" a bit. Took some more Lynda courses as well; deeper into Illustrator they get a bit more obscure.
Update 2: I did go swimming again. I think I will probably do some more painting as well, but I thought I'd post this before midnight clicks over.
On to tomorrow.

Election Day. Got up and swam fairly early, completing 25 laps shortly after 9AM. Forgot my earplugs, which meant I staggered around a bit in the locker room, but no pain.
Went to the doctor to see about my concerns. Surprisingly reasonable rate for a non-insured person, I thought, and I will now await two or three days to hear the decision, though I bet I already know the answer. Didn't sound hopeless, though.
Tired for most of the rest of the day.
Update: went for another swim. I find Election Night rather depressing. No creative work done this day.
Tomorrow, then.

November 1, 2010
Up late, in to swim shortly after 11 AM. When I was done, a couple of folks had had their keys stolen from the locker room. I immediately went and had a duplicate key made, since as they pointed out, with remote keys it would be easy to find which car you'd just stolen.
Made an appointment to see the doctor. Non-insured rates surprisingly reasonable.
Worked a bit on Apples while watching "Two Thousand Maniacs." So far, HGL's photography is pretty poorly framed, though colorful, and the accents don't sound terribly authentic.
And worked a bit on the Statue painting. Spilled the whole palette on the carpet; oh great. Cleaned up somewhat, but it did put a damper on the evening.
And that's a wrap. See you tomorrow.
