Day Thirty One and Thirty Two

I missed posting for a couple days there... and I feel like this post, an effort to catch up on those days, is only barely legitimate. I only got enough done on those days to be able to tell myself that I did do something and I didn't fail. But it wasn't enough for me to feel like it was post worthy, hence it not having been posted until now when I need to post something else but have to post this first. If you followed that train of thought I congratulate you. Anyway, the reasons for this almost failure:

I got a job! I haven't started yet, but I've been having to do paperwork and a drug test and had to fill out stuff for a background check and sign lots of stuff. I'm pretty excited to start, but I have to wait another week or two before starting, and in the meantime I just feel useless and blaaaaaaahhh. Depression kills any motivation to create that I might otherwise have. We've also been spending time with Mitch's best friend and his wife before they head back to Texas.

All THAT is why I have been utterly lame at working on anything and posting it. I apologize to anyone out there who actually cares.

So the sad excuse for non-failure I have for January 31st and February 1st is this:

I just started coloring, because that's somewhat therapeutic, and I wanted something to erase all the stress from tax forms etc, etc, relating to this new job.  But because of all that other stuff I barely got anything done on it. By the way, it's really hard to see what I'm coloring in because I printed it very lightly so that the lines aren't visible when (if) I'm finished. The blue things look kind of like finger nails at this point, but they're meant to be gem stones- sapphires I suppose?

I found this site with lots and lots of free downloadable and printable coloring pages. Most of the coloring pages on the site are for kids and would be great in a classroom, but some are good for adults (my favorite artist they have on the site is D. Palmer).
