Retroactive clock-out from yesterday

Soooooo tired last night. Yesterday did not go at all as I expected, in anything. I planned to leave the house at 11:15 for errands, yoga, singing, and an afternoon with Bright; I got up early and tried to get lots done. Skimped on morning pages, but ended up doing everything on my to-do list, including family-history planning (I intend to start some conversations at upcoming family gatherings!) and Christmas-gift brainstorming (important when I’m planning to make all my gifts this year). I also got two more eye-pillow travel cases done, and listed them in the shop. I discovered that when I think about these brainstorm-type things before I start crafting, my brain can work on them while I’m sewing or what have you — this is a very valuable discovery. It seems likely that there will be many crunch periods for the shop when I feel pressed to make a lot of new items in a short amount of time, and if I can brainstorm other projects at the same time, I won’t feel so desperate about having to devote so much time to crafting.

I did get a lot done, but the trouble is, it came at the expense of yoga and errands. 😦 Erik and I had a hasty lunch at Nation’s and then I ran off to my singing lesson… which went so much better than I expected, given that I’ve had little chance to practice over the past month. Then I met Bright, and again nothing went as expected. We stopped at Stonemountain for bobbins, but they didn’t have the kind I need. We drove all over Berkeley looking for other stuff, too, and that too was a disappointment. But afterward we watched the Star Trek movie at Bright’s — which I had not intended to get sucked into, though I did plan to watch it sometime — and I found it not only good but strangely inspiring.

So that was the day.
