Entry to Contest - "What does TODAY, Oct. 3, 2019, Mean to ME? - #ccc 2.17"
Today turns out to be a grey one.
It rained the whole night and a strong wind blew. At 5 am it wasn't as cold as I thought, it wasn't raining but still grey.
On my way back home the wind came back as soon as I drove into the land road.
Later it started raining again so I drove the youngest to school as well.
No sun is good for my face.
Less light means no need to wear dark sunglasses. My face had the chance to heal a bit and the pain would not increase but... it was cold inside!
Good temp for a walk to keep warm.
I drank more water and kept running to the bathroom. Might be I am dehydrated but if I pee it all out it won't help me or?
I made a drawing but could not finish it because my eyes are still painful and infected, I could not stop rubbing.
Off to bed, had to lay still on my back otherwise the allergies start, sneezing, sniffing, closed nose. Not very successful after all the extra water I drank.
**Time to drive to school it stopped raining.
Back home I finished my drawing and felt satisfied. Don't ask me why. It is not that it is great, it is not even what I had in mind. 🤔
That always happens to me. I start and the end result is a surprise.
The lack of time and patience are the reasons why I am not crazy about drawing and gave up on it about 30 years or even longer ago.
There is no room for what I like to do.
I dislike coloring it gives me stress to stay between lines, I find them disturbing. At least three of my children hate it too, one of them is an animator.
It might sound weird but I never gave up on painting or creating and taught my children a lot already at a young age.
We have everything to draw, paint, model, we can make sculptures, jewelry, etc.
I bought all kinds of pencils about a year ago but I make my sketches on a used piece of paper with the oldest pencil (and cheapest) there is and on my lap.
Today it was the first time I invested more time as 15-20 minutes in a sketch.
I came back to have a second look at it. The battery of my phone was empty and I had time. This time I did not make my drawing fit to a story I already wrote but I wrote a short story to the drawing.
Somehow the grey day created extra time.
I felt more relaxed and now, at the end of the day, I don't feel as broke as usually. Who knows I will make one tomorrow too and create my own grey day to set my mind to peace.

Met @catnet yet?
There are 3 kittens who come to wipe dust if you own CAT. 😍 Have a look at this account.
The primary function of holding CAT is to bring the kitten-bots to deliver cuddles for you.
More fun things to do, like the CALL-A-KITTEN service, will be added in the future. Your CAT stake will be good for more than one thing, eventually. Also, any income with the program, posting-rewards and token-sales, will be used to further grow the project.

How about giving it a try yourself f?
With my lousy, unstable connection it is the only app that still works most of the time. I can post with it and the notifications show an overview with who voted, commented and mentioned you.
You earn points if you use it for posting, commenting and upvoting (partiko points can be traded into Steem).
Try it. There is nothing to lose
Note: At this moment not all replies (and upvotes) are posted. Check it or use something else.

Use them to grow especially if your connection is fine and not as slow as mine.

Appics is a great app. Go to appics.com and ask to be an 'early bird'.

Each day I write a diary #forthechildren.
If I can I use SteemCoinpan for posting
Note: SteemCoinpan wants you to use three tags!
