I'm dry as a bone. Only the color yellow makes me happy today. I suppose it was to be expected; this loss of appetite. My life has been too rich of late and it is hard to get back to the old routine. Or perhaps I am outgrowing the old routine; more and more I suspect that is what is happening. My schedule of art fairs begins over the Memorial Day weekend; year 29 of the same road travelled. Not that any road can be travelled twice, but I do question how I make my living. I love being with people so much and it is such an isolated life. (But fickle me; when I get too much of people I throw them all out and burrow under a quilt with a book and hide.) Maybe I am just finickey and fidgety and itchy today. Nothing feels comfortable. I am not this body, this crabby mind. I don't fit inside my skin today.Just in case you thought I was always rosey-dozey.
I hereby tag the fabulous Carla Sonheim to tell 7 quirky things about herself! (she says nobody ever tags her so let's pile up on her and find out what those quirky things are.)
Meantime, I'll try to get my panties unbunched.

Judy,
Sorry you are not feeling great today. I have had "one of those days as well" however, it brightened up when I found your blog....ala, Ros' blog.
Just thought you'd like to know. Your work i awesome.
oh, sweet Judy! Sorry you're down today... it will pass!!
Thanks for tagging me... I'm so excited... I'll get right on it.
Judy I'm so sorry to hear you're not feeling so hot today...tomorrow's another day and hopefully it will better than today...a little at a time. Give yourself time to ease back into things...you're probably still on overload with all you soaked in during your time in Spain. Take care of yourself dear xoxo
I always find that whenever I have some time away, it is always hard to recapture the rhythm and routine that was there before, which can leave me very out of sorts. Maybe that is what is happening with you, just dont fight it, it will find its own pace.
Hi Judy
I know exactly what you mean, it's great to travel but it's also very unsettling, the first time I went back to England after living here for over twenty years, I was so restless when we returned. I didn't know where I wanted to be, the mundane everyday life was almost too much to cope with, but gradually things settled down and I was able to see the merits of life as I know it.
Hope you're feeling better soon and you get your knickers untwisted

It must be in the air. I've got my whiskers all in a bunch too!! Irritable, restless, itchy, twitchy, PMS-ing, dark moon restlessness. Hopefully yours and mine will pass soon.
i get like this too... exactly like this :)
i'm an extroverted/introverted artist/soul roamer...
this too will pass.
love,
leonie
Thanks for sharing that-
I too have those days and people think I'm always happy go lucky. Its hard being happy all the time.
Peace
I am catching up on your EXTRAORDINARY posts of the last weeks. I can't believe I was away so long but what a treasure too to read them all at once back to back. Your trip sounded just magical and perhaps you are having returned traveler's blues. I find I have a delayed reaction upon returning from marvelous trips. I'm glad that at least we are having such gloriously sunny days today and all week ahead-yay! Hope to see some of your shoe collection up on a post- now my curiosity is peeked!
You do describe and reveal yourself well Judy. Hopefully that will break the spell a little. I come here as often as I can and to Carla's, so I took up her tag. I was reading on your journal page (eavesdropper that I am) that you don't want to have to work so hard. I am nosey too, does it mean you may be proposing to teach at AF next year (right next to the little owl)? You don't have to answer, although I wish you would (answer and teach, that is).
Judy: This is exactly how I am feeling of late. I go to the studio, sit in my chair, stare at my art. I am seasoned enough to know that just picking up a brush and making a mark will bring the creativity, yet I sit and stare. Thanks for letting others know we are not wandering alone in the vast art desert. Rebecca/Cre8Tiva
