November

Sun Nov 1, 2009, 9:53 PM
What a way to roll into November! Just come off a weekend that I wish had never ended. Feeling quite stressed at work as my boss is on holiday, leaving me as the only person in our department. And as I work in an advertising agency (i.e. the devil's hq) that makes for a lot of work passing through my hands. A lot of really important work *nervous shake*

Went to a children's home this Saturday, with a friend's church group, to help clean up and organise the home. It was sad to see how little some people have. We were sorting through these boxes of donated toys (second/third/fourth hand toys and books) and some people give away some of the nastiest, most useless rubbish - broken clipboards, actual old school notes! and pieces of toys that you can't really use (and I'm fully aware of the imaginative extent of children, so that I'm saying that, I really mean some of the stuff was crap). We cleaned out a shed that's going to be used as a kitchen, and packed donated clothes (there were some really filthy old things in there, people don't even have the decency to wash them before they donate) into different piles for children, babies, men and women. We also dug a firebreak around the property and did some landscaping. It was a mad busy couple of hours, and it still didn't feel like enough.

Sunday I picked up some new canvas and white paint (I seem to go through tubs of the stuff) and started painting a portrait of the beau. This one is smaller than the self portrait I've been attempting, so feeling a lot more optimistic about completing it. It's so much easier to work with, and make changes (especially because I'm not using an outline) since it's smaller. Spent about 6 hours on it yesterday! It was a good distraction from the thought of being at work today. Now just to see if I can get it looking enough like the person it's supposed to be of :)
