I’m very tired this morning — ME tired.
I dragged myself through my morning drawing out of a sense of obligation. To who, I wonder? Me at the beginning of the month, when I decided to draw myself every day for a month? Me today? Future-me?
Now that it’s finished, I’m not sure if I’m glad I made it or not. I wonder if future-me will be pleased it’s here, or think I was foolish for pushing through…

It’s probably not surprising that, after nearly a month of drawing myself daily, my energy and enthusiasm are waning a little. Yesterday that meant I almost didn’t make my Selfietember drawing.
But as I got into bed, I reached for my mirror and sketchbook and quite enjoyed the different energy that was around for drawing at the end of the day — not something I’ve ever really done before.
It was nice to get back to my normal routine again this morning.

During recent sleepless nights — or very early mornings — I’ve been giving in and making pots of real tea.
I’m enjoying drinking it, and accepting that it probably means I’m not going back to sleep.

I’m noticing that since starting Selfietember I’ve increasingly been waking up feeling excited about the day; looking forward with a hint of pleasure at the thought of tea and drawing, and then what the day might hold.
That’s a nice change of pace.

I slept for a lot of today and now it’s bedtime I can’t get to sleep.
Instead, I’ve been watching this video of Musa Mayer reading from the book I bought on an impulse this morning. Now I’m excited about its arrival (hopefully tomorrow).
