I didn't get to go out in the snow, except for shoveling. Today was a repeat of yesterday, except change todays movies to Gross Point Blank and The Name of the Rose. Still got a lot of painting done, and didn't order out today. :)

I just thought of something... work should be open tomorrow but will the answering machine at work be changed to reflect that? Worse, did I completely miss a day or two of work because of it? Doubtful...

I seem to be entering another period of relative isolation. Which could be a good thing. Except cutting yourself off from things isnt' the answer. Nor is losing yourself in your hobbies. The biggest issue is relaxing, which is the hardest thing to do. It should be easy. Just stop worrying about the things that get you down, and move forward. Go to work. Run. Dance. Live. If I could keep that up for long enough, maybe some of the things that I'd like to change would actually do just that....

It's a difficult balance, isn't it? Isolation versus companionship. I think the important thing is to surround yourself with good people that won't mind if you go off and do your own thing for a while, but will still be there when you come out of the cocoon. The worst is when you start pitying yourself and enforce the solitude (something I have unintentionally done). Be careful of that sort of thing, it's easy to do, especially when it's so cold outside... :-)

Fortunately, this was the good kind of isolation. The "I could go out, but I really want to get this project done and over with." I am confidant that I could go out after a week or two, and people would be glad to see me. I think it was the being snowed in for two days, which contributed to it. That and a desire to get my painting finished, so I would have time for other things. Especially with spring on it's way.
