Writing but Not Cleaning

Been writing...finally. The house is a disaster. I haven't done laundry in days...all right, weeks. The dishes are piled high in the sink and there are Legos everywhere. But I am rather happy. I have been really enjoying being productive again....it took dying my hair and then adding in bits of blue. Somewhere along the line, I realised that I am most creative when my hair is blue (or at least parts of it are).

The other day a friend was talking about ritual and symbolism. He said that he believes we all have certain rituals that get us into the mindset we need to accomplish whatever the task is. For me, getting into the mindset for creating is dying my hair blue...interesting thought. I finally have my own ritual beyond bedtime! Whoo hoo!
