Thursday Journal with Neet

 Forecast for today, unproductive with a chance of rain, are the snarky words for this week. The theme on Art Journal Journey set by Valerie is 'Anything goes', so our Thursday Journal pages will fit the bill. Eileen is supposed to be studying for her final typing exams, so she can start applying for jobs in the local town. It doesn't seem long ago that she was in school, doodling in a note pad instead of taking notice of the lessons. Perhaps she should have gone in for art instead of typing which she now found boring. The only way she would be satisfied as a typist was if she could get a job as a private secretary and travel the world and be someones invaluable employee. If only she had taken more notice of her parents who wanted great things for her. Maybe she could do evening classes to make up for a lack of enthusiasm in school, and go to university, and then teach art, which she did show some talent for. It was all very well though sitting on the floor and dreaming about her future, but that wasn't getting her anywhere. Ringo her dog also needed taking for a walk, and he looked as if he had as much energy as her. She tried to get up and get going but in the end she felt too lazy. She decided that the forecast for today was unproductive with a chance of rain. Ringo agreed with her.

I told Neet I hope to not be late visiting this month. Let's see if I can keep up.

Eileen DOES look bored. You captured the essence of that quote so well. Looks like Ringo has his rain boots on, even if he is no more interested in going out than Eileen is. This s a very well done entry and a great one for Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey.
