Found again

Yesterday I couldn't sleep b/c I thought I had lost my house key but I think it miraculously appeared again today on the piano bench and I have NO IDEA how either of those events happened. All I know is that I'm pretty mean to myself when I lose things. This is the last of three pieces that will go to Miami. My sister and her husband just booked tickets so I will have a little company once the show is up and at least two people in the audience for my artist talk.

This morning, I got a somewhat jarring email from a dear teacher, and then I went into a frenzy of making small sheets of paper from hanji scraps. It was a lot more than I expected. I did it all on the floor, squatting and on my knees, which is totally ridiculous for my back, but I can't get off the floor. I'm a floor person, and I don't know if it's b/c of the Korean blood or what. I tried to compensate for the body strain by finally working out for the first time in a week. The weather is beautiful but I miss the days of stronger sunlight when sheets and pellons and whatnot dried faster.

Now I have no more excuses to put off writing! So here I go, into the wilderness.
