i think i need more markers...

avena & passiflora

there is now a clause added to my no shopping february project: if i buy extra stuff, i have to draw and post it. and to not take myself too seriously, i used good ol' paint to draw the first thing. with a mini laptop and no mouse, it's quite liberating, almost like being a small child again.

speaking of kids — now, i don't want any (that has been clear to me since i was about five) but there are rare, very rare, occasions when i sort of wish i was the kind of woman who does. looking at these journals, for example, makes me reconsider my stance for a moment or two. those books will be priceless in the years to come. i have tons of childhood artwork remaining, but to have such chronology and detail is just awesome. as is little eve's penmanship. and ruth's friends onstage.

there will be more drawings since i have been bending the definition of necessity quite liberally. above, i have immortalized two bottles of tincture from a. vogel that i do feel i need. their job is to calm my nerves and make me sleep soundly, and work so well that i won't be renewing any more prescriptions for the heavier crap.

it's 3:30 AM. not sleepy but not anxious either. i think i'll up the dosage a few drops & crawl under the covers now.
