Emergency Stress Reduction Kit
Many thanks to Colin for this, I will be following the instructions shortly.
Sardines & Beer
The last two weeks have been unbelievably hectic and I'm only now finding the space to sit down and actually relax. Hence being a bit slow to blog about it.
On Wednesday, I decided I'd been big and brave enough by myself and met up with Nicola, my art mentor for some gentle hand holding and reassurance. I'm glad I did. She reminded me of how far I've come, complimented me on the quality of the work, its presentation and my preparation. Perhaps more importantly, we talked about my scheme of work next week and for the next month. It was crucial for me not to get to this weekend and fall flat after the event. It seems I worry and stress unnecessarily. The self-inflicted pressure is counter-productive. May's objective is to lighten up a bit. To take more breaks. To breathe more deeply.
That probably tells you my state of mind Thursday morning. Poor Dave, I volunteered him to babysit me as I waited for the gallery to open. Happily, I was not first in the queue, I was thi…

Can I print this and put it up at work?
ReplyDeleteObviously not in the cells, but you know..
ATNS ~ of course you can print it off and put it up at work - spread the joy I say. By the way, if you like inappropriate humour, drop me an e-mail and I'll add you to my mailing list.
ReplyDeleteIt's your judgement call whether you put it up in the cells, I wasn't sure your clients would read it - not enough pictures.
lol......I've printed it of too !
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you last night Roses, you look so well.
It will be nice to meet up and have our girly afternoon soon.

Can I ask, does it have to be my head or can I nominate someone else? I have a list!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think it may be more satisfying if I use a head that's not mine.
B*E*G ~ you looked stunning last night, sexy lady. We'll definitely make that date.
ReplyDeletehottie ~ I think banging someone else's head there would be a much better idea. I think that would solve ATNS's problem as well.
