Down mood

Sep 12, 2008

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I can’t seem to get into the mood for blogging. I can tell you that I did 11 pages on the new Anita book today. So, that’s going well. I can tell you that I did forty-five minutes on the treadmill, and almost have that government recommended 10,000 steps. Jon and I worked on more of the comics today. We saw the final for the first issue of THE LAUGHING CORPSE which will hit the shelves in October. We chose the time for my talk and reception thingie for Dance St. Louis doing the ballet Dracula, again this October. You guys voted and we’re doing a Sunday matinee, as per your most votes. Lot’s of good things are happening. Tons of them. But still my mood remains dark. I have moments of up, but mostly it’s down. We’re having to decide between burial or cremation for Phouka. I keep putting it off, but eventually they’re going to run out of room in the cooler for her. Crap.

This is our first weekend since Dragon Con without the kiddo. I’ll continue to work on the Anita book, because I’ve got momentum going, but Jon and I will try to have grown-up time, and down time, too. We’ve already set to meet friends for Sunday afternoon. But in the end, I can’t seem to keep the mood up. Sometimes even if a thousand things are going right, if one thing goes bad; it still feels bad. It depends on the one thing, I suppose. I’ll try to be more cheerful tomorrow, promise.
