"I expected a boost, a burst of creativity after I came home from California. I had some projects I was ready to begin. I wrote Creativity Camp In Session on my office blackboard, along with a positive logo I designed from an upright word &amp;quot;YAY&amp;quot; and two tipping &amp;quot;YAYs&amp;quot;. My ideas had given me more ideas and tons of stuff to look through. I had even brushed transparent pinks, blues and lavender on the painting I have been painting / not painting for a year. I am painting my driver&amp;#039;s license, which I miraculously look good on. Because the Ohio license is kind of pinkish. Flattering pink. Our governor hates it. Which makes the whole painting more fun. Even better, I can do some on my word \u2013 work on my porch. My screened back porch, fifties style. My piles of projects moved to the porch and I enjoyed doing what I could out there; making piles of the piles. Then the heat wave and bad air came which made me move my brain inside. My shutters are shut to shut out the heat. This makes me guiltily feel like a shut-in. My mojo turned to molasses. Creativity Camp closed its doors for a minute. At this hot moment, I&amp;#039;m just not that into me. Molasses Mojo Me, moving slow. D.G.
