I am not the most patient person in the world.

In fact... quite the contrary.

Once I get an idea in my head... I like to "boldly go where no one has gone before..."

So.. .waiting for my body to heal and get better is excruciatingly slow going.

Waiting to move out of New Mexico... seems an endless proposition.

It's like waiting for my hair to grow...

And so... I am trying to distract myself.

I am forging ahead with the organization of the studio... I am continuing the massive downsize that I started way back in 2003... giving away an item for every day of the year... I am trying to make lots of things to list in my Ebay shop, my Amazon storefront, and my Etsy store... to bolster savings for the move...

And this weekend... the daughter and friend went to the library, and brought home a "substantial" stacking..
