Warning! Don't Age When Angry!

So yesterday was a vile day on a global level for me. More layoffs at work, financial struggles, and bad behavior on my part. So, how does a person with no common sense deal with this? By working on minis of course. HOWEVER, I found a little too much "therapy" in creating the wood rot on the corners of my roof trim. I had to age the corners after the trim was glued on because I had jumped the gun without thinking. It felt so good to hack away at those little pieces with my fine toothed saw. I went a little crazy, hacking like a horror movie madman, and snapped one right off the house where it proceeded to fly across the room, landing right in front of Mr. Anderson. He realized that it was a toy and quickly paw scuttled it right out the door and under the bed where he guarded it with zeal. I could do nothing other than laugh. I have since recovered the trim and it actually looks great. It is now securely glued back in place and his little teeth marks kinda helped with the distressing!

I also started the clay stone work on the new portico but it is proving difficult. The clay cause some minor warping. Plus, I wasn't patient with the application and it shows. I should know better than to work on detailed projects when in a foul mood. It never ends well.

Today is my Friday so I will go to work, do my best, come home, cook a real dinner, and enjoy some mindless TV. Garth Manor can wait a day. Michi needs a day off.
