Today's drawing figures were a Polaroid camera and a Telescope. I know they still make telescopes but do they still make Polaroids? I don't know. You'd think that technology would endure, wouldn't you? It'd still be fun to have a camera that spits out an actual picture instead of one just on your phone.
I wrote 870 words today. Today's words are more showing rather than yesterday's telling. There's even dialogue in it--and chickens in the lobby! That part was fun to imagine and write about. I wish I could figure out a fun way of showing my writing but a photo of the page is all I've got.
I don't remember the official name of the flower I painted this afternoon. It's common name is Lily of the Nile. Pretty, don't you think? I'm happy with the way it turned out. It doesn't look a whole lot like the example picture but then hers didn't either. One thing I do have to learn is to add black very slowly and sparingly to darken my paints a little. I can't swipe the paint cake willy-nilly and expect not to overpower the original color.
In the afternoon I got an email from my Clearing watercolor teacher asking a favor. When I replied sure, another email came back telling me that she wanted to buy an Apple E-card but her credit card was declined and it'd take a couple days to straighten it out. Would I please buy the card with my credit card and she'd pay me back? NO! SCAM ALERT! So I texted her to tell her about it and got an acknowledgement of the hack. I swear, those scammers must think they're smarter than the rest of us or maybe enough people fall for it that it pays off. Either way, they should be ashamed.
I hauled up the basket of clean laundry today and have to face the fact that I'll have to fold it soon because I'm almost out of socks. Folding laundry is a pain.

Yes, doing the laundry does sound simple but even when it's done, it still has to be folded and put away. What if you still had to iron part of it? Oh no!!
