Friday Fun!

I love Fridays! Fridays are my Saturday! Friday fun day! Yay! Friday Introvert Day! Friday-I-don't-want-to-see-anybody's-face day (family permitted)!

So, what exactly do I DO on Fridays? Well, I catch up on any Bible readings. I draw and practice piano. I work on any crafty projects that I didn't get done during the week, and I take it easy. It's my day to brush up and practice my creative skills, instead of working on my cleaning, cooking skills. I do still clean a little bit. I don't let anything get into a heap, but it's more of a fun, relaxing day.

Because Saturday? Saturday is Mum's day off, which often means we go to social events, do social things, go shopping (gag!) and follow her plans for her day off. And I also have things that I have to do on Saturdays, myself.

Today I practiced the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata (FIVE FLATS!!), and Beethoven's Sonata in F Minor! YAY! And then my nose started running too much and I had to stop playing. But still! I'm making progress!

Then I practiced drawing, and I did my best drawing so far in graphite. I drew A. W. Tozer.

*Sniff* I'm so proud of myself. I did pretty good. My one complaint is that I hate his nose. *sigh* 

I should take a break and draw hands next. I love hands. They're always interesting to draw. 

I'm thinking after this, I'm gonna work on the Sonata in F Minor again. YAY! And I should do some reading in the Pursuit of GOD, and review the previous lessons of BYH (Behold Your GOD). It's a marvy day! 

 

I forgot I'm still an introvert

So, apparently, despite the fact that I love hanging out with Deaf, I'm still an introvert. Meaning, I still need to have at least one day a week where I can stay home and be left alone. I've been booked every day for social events for the past two weeks, and today was no different. I was planning on going to an event tonight, and I was just depressed, but I didn't know why. I was half asleep all day, I kept wanting to go back to bed, and I basically ended up in bed curled up in my blankets, looking like a burrito roll of depressed misery. And I could not figure out why. Then I decided I wouldn't go to the event. I'd take a full day to stay home. And at that moment, I cheered up. I got up, loaded the dishwasher, cleared the kitchen counters, swept and mopped the kitchen, swept and mopped the bathroom, and started folding laundry. All of that within half an hour. Yes, I'm still an introvert. I still need a day where I am left alone. Doesn't matter if I am with Deaf or hearing; I still need at least one day a week where I don't have to really talk with anyone. Don't get me wrong, I love people. I love my friends, doesn't matter if they're Deaf or hearing. I I just sometimes need to be alone. If I don't get my free day, I become depressed and EXTREMELY CRANKY.
