excuses

Here's what I've been doing instead of drawing:

disposing of fallen tree

.

decorating a different tree
.

watching the greatest Christmas special
.

turning in grades earned in this room
.

driving home in winter weather

But now we have a roaring fire in the fireplace, Tom & Jerry's Nutcracker cartoon on TV, and fresh baked chocolate chip muffins in the shape of Christmas trees. The drawing begins tonight.

Maybe I'll have a good coffee first.
