I like work for a number of reasons but some days, I just need a little break. And, apparently, 11,000 Post-Its animating a year in the life of illustrator Daren Jannace.
Goofy, yes. Fun, yes. But the most useful message in this project for me is that even small amounts of work add up over time.
And now, back to work!

“Causes do matter. And the world is changed by people who care deeply about causes – about things that matter. We don’t have to be particularly smart or talented. We don’t need a lot of money or education. All we really need is to be passionate about something important; something bigger than ourselves. And it’s that commitment to a worthwhile cause that changes the world.”
― Steve Goodier

Today is all about cake baking and other kitchen stuff. We needed a few ingredients like apples and eggs, which required a trip to the store, which in turn led to that age-old question: Why is our checkout line so slooooow? What is queuing theory anyway? And, inevitably, how would this affect procedure at a transdimensional transit hub?

…but it doesn’t have to be boring.
(This also reminds me of a clock I would love to make: 365 Knitting Clock by Siren Elise Wihelmsen)
Slow, but so cool!
Here’s to bringing inventive creativity to even the most ordinary of tasks!

Stretched out in bed as morning rays usher in the day, it helps to remember that
today’s weather
the world’s weather
what to write
note: look up major volcanic eruptions in the modern era
if the cat moved two inches to the right I could breathe
bills
donations
bills
ouch, why do my feet hurt
location of the Golden Spike
the garage is a mess
write write
the neighbor cut down the milkweed before it went to seed
odds of a power outage this winter
dinner
breakfast
a certain Tuesday in November and
what comes next
write write write
should have bought more than two boxes of Girl Guide cookies
but at least they’re mint
work work work work work
doesn’t matter
yet, just
Now.
