I managed to get all my errands done yesterday, though I was exhausted when I got home. Dealing with going out and being around people is incredibly draining - I felt like I could have taken a nap. I'm always in need of serious battery recharging after a day out like that, but I'm also the kind of person who needs a vacation to recover from being on vacation. Anyway, I wound up in Fleming Island looking for oddball plumbing parts, as we're running a water line to the garage to install a sink. Nothing fancy, just hot and cold running water for soaking and cleaning things and washing our hands if needed. Instead of trying to get in the house by manipulating the doorknob with your elbows because your hands are covered in grease.
Anyway, Inktober 2020 prompts will be released on September 8, and since I'm not going anywhere this year I think I'm going to try doing this again. I did about half the prompts last year after getting a late start. With the prompts coming out early I can probably do some thumbnail sketches as ideas hit me - hopefully that's not cheating. And anyway it's not like I have any other art to work on ... (LOL that's a joke. I have so many open projects right now.)
I need to make a batch of energy bars today. Tomorrow I'm considering baking up corn cookies. They're supposed to taste like sweetened corn flake cereal, so I'm on board for that. I doubt I'll do another major cake baking project until closer to Fox's birthday, and for that we're kinda-sorta thinking Christina Tosi's key lime pie cake from her All About Cake book. There's also a pumpkin pie cake, but I'm probably going to save my pumpkins for scones.
This is not the point where I'm going to dump on people who're excited about pumpkin spice everything time. It does seem a little early, but then I'm so ready for fall that I would be wearing sweaters to protest the fact that it's still summer if it weren't for probably dying of a heat stroke as soon as I step outside. For example, the heat index was 85 this morning before sunrise. I don't need to tell you how much that sucks. So yeah, very ready for fall and winter here. Summer is grinding me down.
Besides, I get all excited closer to Christmas when it's peppermint mocha everything time.
