writing from the studio tonight

so good to be home for almost 24 hours.
(arrived up north at 3:30am last night.)
lush and quiet and cold here.
unpack, laundry, work, cook... studio.

and here i sit.
i have a list, but not sure where to start.
tempted to climb in bed, read, sleep.
but i'll stay here a little longer.
struggling a little, but giving myself permission to just be in here.
cutting out prints, mindless work, and typing on this blog.

sometimes, i seem to need to putz around in here a bit, before i can actually start making.
tidy up, organize, shift things around, play music, light a candle.
do you guys do this?
have a ritual? process?
or am i procrastinating?
wasting valuable time??

i have decided, i'll fill one sketchbook page tonight, at least, before bed... here it is!
two birds with one stone?
