snapshots of a day

I made myself clean up the mess that usually creeps in whenever I'm in the middle of a work.project. I really look forward to the days when the rest of my life will not have to take a pause every time there is work. Work should not be eating up my days like langoliers. In any case, I realize that I really love the colors of my home.

The sky was interesting again today, with great gray rainclouds threatening the sunny clouds. By late afternoon it had begun to rain.

My attempts at practicing watercolor. So that's an hour less from the 10,000 required for mastery.

looks like rain

The sky caught my attention on this late Saturday afternoon as I doggedly prepared for a full-day work session tomorrow.

Yes I owe you stories from the beach but let me sort through more than a couple hundred of photos. Oh, and I need to also get some urgent work done until mid next week.

under the weather

Been on sick mode all day : migraine, nausea because of migraine, threatening fever, aching muscles, and an overall exhausted feeling. Been sleeping 5 hours or less for the past week. Been really hard at work. And my sister was right, we never really gave ourselves a pause since the beginning of the year when we were juggling work projects, practicing for the kendo exam, and also pursuing our creative projects.

So maybe it has all finally caught up and now I am being forced to take a full day off from all the "shoulds" and "musts".

The weather perfectly reflected how I have been feeling all day. Took these photos mid-afternoon- around 3:30pm.

After hovering this way for a good part of the afternoon, rain finally fell in torrents.
