I don’t know what happened, exactly. I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a bus. Sore and weak. Not a whole lot of fun.

I ended up taking a nap this morning before hiking to the cabin, but it didn’t seem to help. I still did my warmup page before the Optimize Artists’ weekly meeting, then I packed up my drawing tablet so I could draw later in the day.

Not a horrible warmup for being so incredibly out of energy.

And I started bashing together a sketch and composition for an upcoming tattoo. This one should be an interesting challenge.

What went well?

• Optimize Artists was incredibly informative and fun today.
• I’m almost caught up on my work.
• I had fun studying a composition for a tattoo.

What needs work?

• My energy is WAY off today. It’s a combination of things, I’m sure.

What did I learn?

Pushing through is sometimes the only answer.
