self portrait thursday: and what now?

I'm cheating a little (OK, a lot) with 'today's' self portraits - they're yesterday's, taken while I was setting up for "home is where the heart is" exhibit. .... and now it's done! My bench is empty and there are only a couple of projects in waiting. I even finished my taxes today!!

This is the first time in six months where I don't have anything looming on the horizon. There are no deadlines unless I conjure them up, and I'm only taking one college course this semester.

I admit - I'm a little worried if I will cope with the relative inactivity. I can already feel myself rushing to add things to my empty-ish to-do list and plot out a roadmap on my desk planner. Of course, I do have a few pet projects around but it just doesn't seem enough. However, I'm thinking that the sensible (mature) thing to do would be to take a small break, keep it slow and simple, and try to commit only to what I can focus on 100%

.... so I've just emailed about an internship for a couple of months!

I hope that you find the right thing to fill your time! I can only imagine that the prospect is a little bit frightening.

And good luck with the internship inquiries.

yes - it's the curse of 'doing something meaningful with my time'.
i think i should 'learn' how to handle downtime productively but i'm scared shitless i'll either fritter away the hours or let my mental health slide by not keeping my mind occupied. being overworked is as unhealthy as being understimulated but there has to be a happy medium - i intend to find it this summer
