hobby room

i just spent the past hour making my study into a hobby room of sorts. not that i really have hobbies-- i just have all the raw materials to have a hobby (yarn, paint, water color paper, manual camera, publishing guides, etc.) i figured that if i had a cool room to be creative in, i might actually be creative.

i should have been spending the day trying to rid my house of dog hair and dust. it has reached critical mass in here---i am breathing in too many particles. but--like before---i can only really clean when agitated...it is what soothes me. and i do not currently need soothing. but i would rather have a dirty house and peace of mind than motivation to clean. so i guess the dog hair wins for today. i just can't make myself do it. i also can be motivated to clean at the start of break---but this break started with a snow storm that made me miserable, so i did not clean---i stayed under the covers where it was warm. today is the last day of break. i have better things to do than clean.

like lesson plans. boy howdy. i sure need to figure out what is going to be going on in my classroom tomorrow. i should go get on that---though i would rather be deciding on an all-consuming hobby.
