Saturday

Here are some mugs:



I went back to the studio yesterday for the first time in a week. I actually got a lot done despite not feeling well.

I wasn't feeling well partly because Dave and I had to take Gray Kitty back the emergency room last night because he wasn't able to use the litter box. That was about 4:00 in the morning, but I had been up since 1:30. We were at the emergency room until 5:00 (Gray Kitty got to stay and get a catheter and he won't come home until today) but when we came home I couldn't sleep. I finally fell asleep around 9:00. Dave got up to go visit Gray Kitty at 11:00 and woke me up when he got home around noon. So I got about five hours of sleep, which could seem like a lot, but it was piled on a lot of stress.

My stress level has been through the roof, as has my blood pressure. I'm going to have to find a doctor and get some medication to bring it down. I don't like medication, but I don't like feeling like crap all the time even more.

I also ordered a "happy light" to sit under. It's one of those 6000 lumen lights that's supposed to help with winter blahs. Maybe sitting under it every day will help with some of the stress. Can't hurt anyway.

So, yes, the studio. I went and was glad I did. I threw three vases, cleaned up some mugs (those in the picture above) and put them on the shelf to be bisqued. I also got in a lot of social time, which was good. I have been pretty isolated at home recently.
