something I am grateful for today

I've been feeling rough the last few days, this mornin even more so [migraine on top of the other sutff]. So I dragged myself together for work, not really looking forward to much of anything, simply aiming to endure for as long as I must...

and then I remembered that I would have a break this mornin where I would be able to work on some more page layouts. And I felt a little uplifted.

In the past, I took migraine as a sign to not try and work on anything arty. But today, telling myself that it's only rough, scratchpad-level sketches, I saw no reason why I couldn't give it a shot.

So I did. And the roughs turned out fine, and working on them actually made me feel a little better. (A little.) Therapeutic art, boo-yah.
