toning down the tech level

You would think a rainy Saturday without a computer would be absolutely miserable. But, I'm taking this golden opportunity to get back to the basics.

I'm a bit of an art supply nut, I just also happen to be deathly addicted to Creative Suite. All of which are boxed up in storage approaching 10 hours away. Completely frustrating, I know. And so materialized my trip to DaVinci Artist Supply. This venture was carefully planned to include a few choice items to keep me entertained for the afternoon -to create a sort of makeshift pop up studio. As expected the excitement of all the artsy goodies overwhelmed me as I walked in the door. It took quite a bit of self control not to buy everything in sight -or duplicates of things I have already.

Walking back out in the rain after my purchase (which included a complementary reusable tote bag just for checking in on Yelp!) wasn't even that depressing because I was so excited to get home to play with my newest acquisitions.

I miss my lovely iMac that routinely and cheerfully greets me in the morning and obeys my every command without fail, but I'm realizing that sometimes -although it may feel like the death of you- it may be a good thing to tone down the tech level.
