No More Toliet

Most of today was spent away from elsewhere.  There was a work break through this morning with the Macam Scope Camera that JJ lent me; this allowed a closer inspection of my beautiful bathroom walls.  I love this camera.  It was a new way to see the layers of paint, the cracks in the wall, and even my own face!  I have felt really apprehensive to try new media like this at home.  It seems mostly overwhelming and also very literal to me.  This new plastic blue camera has given me some sort of new confidence or maybe interest.  So I shot zillions of pictures and videos and more pictures.  I used a caster to level the camera, then a plastic FedEx truck.  I loved the result and am not sure if they are anything more than just closer looks at details in this space I may normally miss.  

We then swam in the creek all afternoon, we returned and made a huge dinner.  

Work break through came late this evening.  I decided the toilet was not suitable for the space and that I did not want to cover it…I wanted to remove it.  So it is gone but not forgotten: the smelly hole that is left seems to be full of rotten air looking for a way out.  I have placed a plug on it for now and hope it improves tomorrow.  I like the space so much better and as Pritika said, maybe this will break the bathroom curse that is trailing me.  I am really coming to terms with the fact that I am going to let this space give to me, I am going to follow the lead and inspiration of the piece that will come out of spending time here.  I am not going to try to tightly shove it into my current body or follow the trail of where I left off at home.  This alone seems really important for me to state.  This makes a different in how the piece will even get decided upon.  So, today was good and I am excited to get up tomorrow and make some really solid decisions about where this is going.    


Wow, somehow at 1:30am this building is quiet tonight.
