7th May 2025
It was a crappy night for both of us, but for me it was unusually bad, that left me in a bit of a funk all day.
I have had messed up brain activity before, I’m not sure what triggers it. It’s like my mind is a kaleidoscope with thoughts coming into view then being replaced with another, and not being able to concentrate on either.
I’m not prone to depressive thoughts, but I did start to question the point of what we are doing.
I felt there was something missing, I’m not doing what I really want to do creatively.
Was it just a man period? Lord knows I do get in a bad mood occasionally, but that clears up relatively quickly, but today it lasted longer.
Some of it might have been frustrating at Hoover for the time it has taken to get a replacement battery. I was due to phone them in the morning to shout at them. it might have been anger at the Jeep man for letting his engine run for ten minutes at six in the morning, or was it the sudden death of old Wayne down the road. Poor Kelli not only did she have a disturbed sleep, she had to deal with a disturbed husband.
As we had breakfast, we talked it through, I wanted to spend time actually making things rather than just fixing stuff, that alone would feed my creative juices.
I’ve always had a creative outlet to counter any mundane activity, I had my studio, and my woodwork. Therefore I would never get bored, and most of the time didn’t suffer stress.
As the day progressed, my gray mood lightened, I made progress on several projects and even milled some lumber for my furniture project.
Kelli finished painting the rocking chair, so we ended up being very productive.
