Congratulating Myself on Amazing Self-Restraint

I had two simultaneous meetings tonight.

One was planned in advance, the other was last-minute.
One was weekly drawing, one was a back to school meeting.

Guess which one was planned and which one was not?

Our planned-in-advance drawing theme was Moulin Rouge, which I don't think I have ever seen.

And I couldn't listen to it either because of what might have been the most ridiculous school meeting I have ever attended.

My drawing was generally crap, despite feeling pretty good in general I do seem to have forgotten how to paint and draw. Carey said she forgot too, but maybe we can both relearn.

This is the one-hour pose, my focus was very split.

Charcoal and a pastel pencil and a General's white charcoal pencil.

My Amazing Feat of Self-Restraint:

So, during this covid period there was a time-stretch where people could not get haircuts.
Remember?  Here in NYC it was about 5 months. I understand this was a problem for most people, I know the situation, I was in it too, but in August salons etc re-opened and everyone attended to their personal grooming.

Except .... one of the prominent staff people at school... (and I am NOT tagging this post LaG even though I really want to) .... has not returned to that important regular schedule of hirsute maintenance, and as a result he has turned into a yeti.

I'm not kidding.

I DO have a picture that I DESPERATELY want to post but I do know that would be very wrong and unkind, so I won't do it.

But in the interest of showing an accurate visual, here is a sample representation:

Oh, wait, something is missing....

The school meeting, by the way, was ridiculous.
I shall end this post by quoting one of the facebook comments about it, regarding the health checks parents are supposed to do:

"My favorite is the mother asking whether her own kid has traveled internationally!"
