Can't Seem To Get In Gear

It's always hard to start the week, but today was worse than usual. After waking up late from a fretful, rainy night, I forced myself down to the studio and spent an hour and a half smearing paint around, finally giving up. The cat was no help, either; he kept snaking his way around my legs and meowing pitifully until I let him out in the fenced yard a couple of times. I did get a decent amount of work done on the right side of the canvas, though.
