Worked late today

I had to work late tonight and there was no art done. I’m trying to be a calm person who accepts what is really going on — I have to work at a job that doesn’t thrill me. That’s the fact, Jack.

By the time I get done with my day job, I’m drained. My left brain has taken over for the time being. It’s doing what it’s good at, which is science stuff. When I was a kid my SAT scores leaned heavily toward math, but my heart titled towards being an artist. Then I was interested in writing novels and short stories. I worked at manual labor jobs for most of my life because they left my mind free to think my own thoughts when I wasn’t at work. Later the science side of my brain re-asserted itself and I developed a fanatic interest in web programming. It took 25 years for my right brain to come back to life. Hooray!

It’s a beautiful dusk. Pink and gold clouds are drifting in from California. Admiring clouds is a beautiful way to end the day. Now I can rest.
