computer work

This week I have felt like I have been running in place.  Stuck.  Part of it is that the things I am working on take a bit of time.  It also rained three days in a row which did not help anything.

The computer work I did came in the mail.  The plates I created for the letterpress are here.  It does mean I am going to be cutting paper for a couple of days and then I will be printing.  The boyos wanted different things so I needed to create flexibility in the plates but which make the actual printing more difficult.  I am not going to worry about it currently.  I am just going to focus on the next step which is cutting paper.  This is when  I wish I had a paper cutter that is much larger then the one I do have.  But, I have no space for one that large!

There has also been sadness.  I had another friend die.  It was a surprise.  I think it is part of why I feel like I am running in place.  Stuck.  There has been a lot of sadness this year tied to people dying.  I do find a lot of joy and happiness in the simplest of things.  Everyday things but there is a definite counterpoint this year.  There is nothing I can change.  Be sad for me and her family.  Enjoy life everyday and be grateful.
