Did anything good happen today? May 2018

Hello song,,are you ok?

I hope your decision to cut all your hair off was not brought about by any kind of struggles you may be having? we are here for you and we all care, please let us know if you are ok. 

X()X 

I like your posts and pics Robert, I hope to get back to a stage where I can start getting out to the great outdoors again. Anxiety is a bit of an obstacle at the moment but your stuff is making me get the urge to fight it. Thanks!

Today I cut all my hair off.

Hair is over-rated if I had my way I'd have none permanently.

ALL of it? Did you cut it yourself? I cut my partners hair with clippers but I've never tried to cut my own. 

I cut my own, I do a good job of it too! If you are cutting it all off you can't really go too wrong!

Another nice warm sunny day.  So I go out on my walks.

This time exploring the woodlands near the local university campus.  Although the university is not strictly public access and there are security personnel around.  Nobody checks IDs as people enterthe buildings.  So I use their facilities. ( Clean modern toilets).

Then I visited a local abbey ruins and the surrounding park and river.

Getting plenty of fresh air.   Good for mental health.

Today I cut all my hair off.

Sold a painting, sold a painting! However, where offset against at the small rent I pay monthly to show there, it was not for much. It is a cooperative rather than vanity gallery, but still breaks the glass ceing  here that excludes those who don't have a degree in art. Just having a degree is not enough. 

Today I ate a whole packet of jaffa cakes, feeling disgustingly good about that! 

Ha. Well I finally got my swim yesterday - the lake resort has only now just opened for business. 

My new series of works is slowly taking shape. With some I am working with Klimtian triangles but on canvas, not paper, a new volcano cityscspe and some other layeted pieces woth mstt and reflective textures. I am going sloely sd I don't eant to botch them though. Pleased about that too.

I had a pretty good day. Some old friends came over and we played old music, old video games and ate junk. My Autistic obsession of perfecting Street Fighter was used to magnificent effect today. I never even lost a round.

My mom always fed the dog the skin. ******* spoiled little ***! Me and my dad did without! 

I think that seeing things like this and actually still being in awe of them is an admirable way of being. I look around and I'm in awe of the world. At times it's the only thing that's got me through. I'd go out with my grandfather as a kid and he'd point out all of the things that people mostly pass by. I'd learn so much stuff about nature and biology. I'll always be in debt to him for that, he made the world seem like an endless source of wonder. God that sounds so schmaltzy, lol.

I would share some if I could, if you really wanted it! You would be doing me a favour!

Today I cleaned and lined things up, mostly. Strange how good that makes me feel. I also attacked a chicken carcass like a savage so that I could feed all the bits to my dog without him ending up with any of the bones - disgustingly messy but it was funny how intently he watched me the whole time  : )   

Well, I can't say I've achieved any of my tasks today. But I went out and saw irises in flower, and watched a bumblebee, and a mallard with six tiny ducklings, and a woman sharing her friend's happiness at her small baby, while being sure I wasn't feeling any envy or jealousy. Not quite sure how I managed that. It just seemed to happen.

What else did I do today?

Photo of run I watched.

I also dyed my hair.

Then i had to clean bathroom from top to bottom getting rid splashes of permanent hair dye.

Finally I took a photo of my communal security metal front door. Near the lock.

There's nothing worth stealing here.  But people still try to get in.

I must need some OCD then. I probably do need to vacuum that often. 

It's Sunday and I made the effort to go and see the local half marathon.

I took a ton of photos but I won't bore people with them.  Instead I'm posting a photo of the rear of an information board from a local park.

I wonder, was this graffiti done by an aspie.

Good to hear you had a good day Foyster, hope things are better!

I'll vacuum and clean until the urge goes away it's quite depressing sometimes. Even when I was working 6 days a week and drinking heavily I'd still vacuum and clean obsessively, even if I was hardly sleeping. ******* OCD, lol. I'm beginning to have the odd day where I can fight the urge though!
