Friday, March 19, 2004. Draig Athar, 30, Artist, Connecticut, USA

Today has felt like a vacation day all day long. I've not wanted to get anything accomplished at all, but for once I'm perfectly okay with that. Usually I get all anxious if I am not doing something useful with my time. I suppose that comes with being self-employed - you always have to be your own source of motivation. But today I could care less about my lack of motivation, I'm going to be lazy for once!

So anyway, really all I've done today is decorate a birthday cake. The hubby wanted a proper English fruitcake as his birthday cake, with marzipan and royal icing and the whole bit. So I made one for him, even though to my American little brain, fruitcake on your birthday is just nuts. Well, I had a whole bunch of marzipan leftover, so I spent a ridiculous amount of time this afternoon sculpting little marzipan animals to decorate the top of the cake. Yes, for a grown man. What can I say, he likes to go to the zoo.

Now I think I shall continue being a slug for the rest of the day! I might even make myself a cup of hot cocoa and sit down with a plate of cookies and a good book. What does it say about me that I think hot cocoa, cookies, and a book makes for a completely indulgent evening? I'm not sure, but at least it means I'm easy to please. I don't even mind what kind of cookies they are.
