The power of place - it rained today. Yesterday was sunny, warm and clear. Today rainy. By the time I walked away from my desk and got Buddy ready for a walk on the beach or promenade - it was misting, a wet film covering us both.
I have to get away from my desk earlier. Maybe when work is over? Forever over? But for today, I drove to Safeway to get coffee - the Starbucks across the street not yet open. I drove to Avenue G or some other street that ends at the promenade and the beach and we got out of the car and walked about 1 long block. Both of us wet by the time I decided to go back to the car.
This place looks and feels trashy. The people look like Walmart people. I feel like I am in a third world country, sort of. Rome says I am negative. I agree. This is not what I thought it was going to be like. Poor, trashy and with weird people. Maybe once I have more time I will be able to pick and choose the time when to be out and about and the scene or "place" will be more like what I expected. I have to ask the question - what did I expect? What do I want? I need to make lists and lists of things I want to do when I have more time.
I do feel sluggish. The sluggishness could be part of the overall gloom and doom me and and many others feel because of the political crap that is going on.
So with the arrival of the Loft list of classes for winter - I have registered for a class and will start the online class January 8, 2018.

In the meantime, I just need to write and create art using the Surface or actual art supplies.
