Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!
Yes, I know I keep saying it, but art is hard. Even though it's fun, I'm wondering how artists find time in their lives to DO art. Between the kiddo, the dog, the house, work & making time to pee and sleep, how do people DO it??
Like, right now I need to be doing some casting & shopping for stuff for the show this weekend, but I have to go clean out my old car so I can sell it to the dealership to have enough money to pay for the removal of a tree in my back yard that has Dutch Elm Disease. (pretty gross, by the way - beetles that infest a tree - ewww.)
On top of that, I had some pretty f-ed up dreams last night.....too freaky even to write down here! And they say that in your dreams, all the characters are just aspects of yourself. Which completely freaks me out. But also makes me wonder.....because when I was a kid, I had this terribly vivid dream (that I remember to this day) where all my erasers that were shaped like dinosaurs came to life, actual-size, and began to crash buildings, stomp on people, tear cars apart, etc....but I was always one step ahead and didn't get squished.
Does that mean that the people getting squished were me? Or that the dinosaurs were me? Did I want to squish all the people and things around me? (Would've been pretty heavy for a 7-year old). Which also freaks me out, since my kiddo is 8. Does he have dreams like this? Do I need to worry?
Good lord. I need a night out. Too much time to think and look what happens!
Inquisitively Yours,
Vi
