2023 52 Card Project: Week 12: Mirrors
Mar. 24th, 2023 02:43 pmMy sleep disorder has been terrible lately. Perhaps it's the time change, but I have really been suffering badly this week--four or five hours a night, even though I lie in bed for eight, followed by intense headaches the next day from lack of sleep. I missed work on Monday due to one of those migraines. I feel drawn and haggard as if I am walking in a fog, ready to blunder into walls. My IQ has noticeably dropped.
I have been grappling with various issues in my life that have added to that same feeling of weary bewilderment and befuddlement. I am trying to do some travel planning, and I am woefully unpracticed at that kind of thing. I am trying to figure out some estate planning issues, which means that I finally have to muster up the spoons to figure out how to get rid of a timeshare that Rob and I bought in 2003. Timeshares, of course, are designed to be impenetrably hard to understand and get rid of. I am enlisting some help to try to deal with the issue. But that, and several other things in my life that I don't particularly want to talk about make me feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and as if I am lost in a maze.
I do want to acknowledge that I did have one wonderful thing that happened this week: Eric and I took an overnight getaway to a bed and breakfast in Red Wing--a relaxing 24 hours that was what both of us badly needed. As a result, my other alternative for this week's collage was "Getaway."
But once I had the idea for the theme of the week that I ultimately chose, I was so gripped by an inner vision of what I thought the collage should look like that it was no contest. The result, I (modestly) think, is one of the best collages I've done yet.
What do you think?
Inside a hall of mirrors, a woman (Peg) stands in multiple reflections from different angles looking in all directions. All stand with hands to the side, except for the woman closest to the foreground who has her hands over her face.
