Today it's a gorilla...


So, after not drawing hardly at all in about a month (yes,I know I did that quick portrait last week and the dog sketches, but they almost don't count), I finally went to work last night and continued to work this morning. This guy (or girl) was the result. I think it was a good way to get myself back into the swing of things. My gorilla looks gentle, doesn't he (or she)?

What did I do before I worked on the drawing this morning? Well, I started cleaning the closet, of course. Loud noise from upstairs woke me up early and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up and started tackling the closet. I threw away two garbage bags full of clothes and junk and filled another garbage bag with donations for ARC. My bed is now covered with an even larger mountain than it had before, but at least I've made some progress in the closet itself. This is the job of jobs (the one I've been putting off all winter), so I'm glad I was finally motivated to begin. It may have been the anger resulting from having to deal with noisy neighbors that gave me the energy. I may do a bit more today, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a nap. I'm feeling a bit sleep deprived. I also made progress in another area this morning. I was finally able to talk to the debt collectors that keep calling for Alvia Dominguez. They usually call early when I'm too groggy to answer the phone or they leave messages when I'm not at home. I told them I am not Alvia Dominguez nor do I have any idea who she is. I hope they believed me and this morning's call will be the last.
