In the still of the night

Cold fingers. Empty stomach. Chilly toes. Creaking walls. Long shadows. Quiet sounds. Tiny noises. Deep thoughts. Tired mind. Heavy eyelids. Soothing music.

Today I woke up and went to work. It was pretty uneventful... but I like to be there because I am getting things done without having to strain my brain or emotions too much. But it is hazardous to my hands... they are all sliced up from when I smooth out the frame mats. I slide my fingers along the sides to straighten them out without thinking and the newly cut mat is sharp! I have all these little cuts. They will heal quickly but they are pretty sore at first. And framing makes your hands really dry too for some reason! I don't really know why, but it happens.
