Super busy -- and I love resting between bouts of painting

I did have a nap today after painting all day -- in this bed.  Trying to
stay positive -- the curly part in this drawing fell off this morning.
The bed is a heirloom, probably 100 years old, but it seems like
me reading is too much for it.  Now the exciting part of figuring out
how to put it back together.  I'm glad I married a carpenter (one among
his many other skills!)

I labeled a piece about the drawing The Art of Exhaustion, and I'm
going to share what I wrote in that post tonight:

"Is the art of exhaustion a real thing?  I don't know.  I've been painting
all day on and off, and when I stop, I've been lying down or reading --
and sinking into exhaustion.

What I've been working on is not ready to show you. So Please accept a
drawing I quite like of my bed after a nap," (before today's temporary
damage.)

Have a loving your life day.
