Ut Oh, it's list time

Wow, do I feel compelled to write lists when I feel like my life is out of control? I should make a list about that. But first, today’s list:
List #1: Woe is me

  • I am fat and out of shape
  • My desk is a mess
  • I’m not making enough art
  • I feel vacant at my job
  • I hate commuting 2 hours a day
  • I hate that my studio is so far away
  • I hate the parking situation in my neighborhood
  • I’m angry I broke my scooter
  • I want to spend more quality time with my husband by making music but I’m afraid of being a musical failure
  • “I just wanna go home and get knocked up”
  • I have complete control over my life and my happiness
  • I am making compromises in my life because it serves my long term goals
  • my dastardly impatience always gets in my way
  • If I feel fat, I need to exercise
  • If I want to make music with Tom, I should make time
  • I’m afraid if I don’t keep myself happy all the time, I will be a bad wife
  • I don’t think I can focus hard on getting out of debt and stay happy while doing it
  • If I need to make more art, I should stop making these gawdawful lists and go make a drawing

List #2: Suck it up

  • The economy is in the crapper and I should work as much as possible while I can
  • I will always have to make compromises to fit art into my life, so I better get used to it now
  • Many of my friends are out of work, and probably think I’m a brat
  • I think I’m a brat
  • When I was your age, we had to walk uphill 2 miles carrying huge bushels of rotten, maggoty meat, with nothing covering our feet but the crust from our own bloody tears
  • Find happiness in the every day
  • Tom thinks you are a great wife, just don’t screw it up
  • Clean your desk, you lazy slob
