Walk a lot, and wear a mask when you go in places
Think very hard about other creative projects and do them sometimes.
A bunch of fabric printed with my photos – I lay them out and then send to this place in North Carolina for printing.

Once in awhile get rid of old junk. These ladders belonged to John & Al’s dad, Jeff. I kind of inherited them when we split up. They moved with all of us between two houses in Madison, then to Chicago and finally back to Madison with me and the kids, and between two more houses in Madison. When we lived on Birch Ave. in Westmorland, the garage was small and I crunched the fender of the car, the old grey Toyota Corolla wagon, the last stick shift car I owned, twice, by hooking it on the step ladder while backing out of the garage. I have an indelible memory of all the times when Jeff used the big ladder to clean out the gutters and I had to come hold it while he went up, which I always thought an exercise in futility, because here’s me hanging on to the bottom of the ladder while this person who’s almost a foot taller and probably 50 pounds heaver than me went up – like I could do anything if it started to go sideways.

Also occasionally, practice self-care. For spring, I shaved my legs and scrubbed my feet with exfoliating scrub today. Newly shaved legs are now slathered with sunscreen and I’m going for a bike ride.
