began painting tonight. the work is good for keeping my mind off matters. though, it is only partially effective as the long periods of silence (which i am still not used to) are not broken up by anything other than my thoughts and the swish swish of brush and roller. brooding and dwelling and home repair.
after primer coat was done i went into santa rosa to have a drink with shawn and silvanie@ 3rd st. i spilled my guts out and they brought up some interesting points. i talked with steph and its the conclusion that i suspected.
