Day 3 of Operation Get Rid Of All The Post-Its On My Monitor went well. Nothing is finished but there's some definite progress on the various things that have piled up – three pages roughed on comic thing, one commission roughed and halfway done. And the previous two days saw another commission roughed, and some finishing on another page of the comic thing.
Rita's getting pushed aside for a couple of weeks for this, because having these things hanging there meant I spent a lot of time dithering about not working on Rita because I felt guilty about these hanging things, and not working on them because guilt fucks me up. Now that I've finished chapter 9 I feel like I can hit pause on Rita and deal with this other stuff, then hopefully resume Rita with a lot more energy.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get to take one of those post-its down. That would be nice. Ultimately I want to clear out all of these dangling obligations and think long and hard about whether I want any more of them.
Stuff I didn't do today: leave the house. My left leg was weirdly achy yesterday and today, so I figured walking around a lot might be a bad idea. I kinda regret blowing off aikido tonight but I was just in a weird space.
Tomorrow: folding the laundry I did today, more work on one or more of those post-its, and a visit from Nick.
(I'm also in a weirdly shitty mood right now. Probably due to finishing Osamu Tezuka's “Ayako“, which is a pretty damn dark book about a girl who's kept locked up in a storeroom for twenty years because of Complicated Horrible Matters Of Honor.)
