I’ve decided to try and post one messy drawing a day. Just so something feels like it is happening.
I love a drawn out, coffee laden, quiet morning. I might have an hour or two of inspiration, peaking at about 10 am and slowly declining for the rest of the day. At 2 or 3 pm I reach a very sleepy low and then rise for dinner and putter until about 10 pm when I get my inconvenient second wind of energy. I wish I could feel great on 5 hours of sleep because I live in an unfortunate duality of being a morning person and a night person. All rolled into one person.
This is a typical day spent at home. I see why people have offices and are on adult sport teams and have quilting groups and get into fantasy football. You have to have something on the side to keep things moving.
I do the day to day. It’s enough to satisfy.
Every now and then I will pass the timeless Jiffy box in the store and throw a couple in the cart. They are 75 cents. They are surprisingly delicious, have very few preservatives and are a fast fix for a snack attack. Also, the packaging could not be more appealing. I wonder what the Jiffy headquarters is like. Are they trapped in a passed era? I imagine all the employees in their 80’s and 90’s, have worked their since the 1950s, drive old Buicks, still bring Jello molds to company picnics and smoke cigarettes at their desks without deliberation. I really wonder.
I mixed blueberries into this corn bread mix for Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins. Be ready to eat these right out of the oven. Not only are they irresistible when golden and toasty, but once they cool they really aren’t worth a dime.
(Okay… I did a little research and all my questions have been answered. If you don’t have the time to watch this video, just know that Jiffy mix is now run by Howdy Holmes, great grandson of Mabel Holmes. They have been a family business for over 200 years. In the video, Howdy has a long winded conversation with an animated Jiffy box. He really seems to be in his own little world. This explains a lot. And his name is Howdy.)
