gwyn_hwyfar about south mountain's snarly yow got me to thinking on what poet byron called the black dog days (being the downside of of his bi-polarity). the "black dog" is, in fact, so common a symbol at this point as a harbinger of death/suicide and/or a symbol of depression that it's commonly used as such by treatment institutes (though this institute in particular falsely attributes the coinage to winston churchill ~ foo).
anyway, my point is, it's been a pretty black dog summer for me and not looking to immediately improve. normally i would resort to making paper dolls, but i don't even feel like doing that much (which oughta tell ya somethin'). for my own good, nonetheless, i have been piddling with paint and contemplating possibilities, which i know i vowed to stay away from, but i've never been sensible about these things.
i don't plan on posting here much until i can better unmungify ~ i will try to follow along and comment as i can, and post now and then so you know i'm still poking about, but for the time being, i just dunna have anythin' to say. i'm hoping when i check in, it will be for leaps and strides. no more downers from this corner of the woods.

Sweet pooch
I wish you wouldn't go silent but you must do as you think best.
Part of what confuses me about my own blog under the heading WHAT THE HECK IS IT? is, is it entertainment for the friends (I feel some kind of obligation to entertain) or is my place to talk about what's concerning me which isn't always, in fact, mostly isn't entertaining...my conclusion: dunno.
BUT when I think of the blogs I read, I don't only value the ones that are light frothy and entertaining.
yak, yak, yak (stopping now)
Anyway, I will miss you here. I hope whatever black thing is doggin' your tracks gives up on you and you feel happier and more confident SOON.
If you should want to talk -- just holler.
