Back to pencil drawing

It's such a pain to lose one's painting groove, especially when you know that you need to get it back as soon as possible. I stopped painting sometime in April or May in preparation for our US trip and while we were trying to slowly empty the small apartment and the big house in the province. I could simply not concentrate on any artwork, so I thought to just stop and focus on what had to be done. It was tough to put away my supplies but I had to do it. 

Well, we've since returned from the US and have dutifully emptied the small apartment. I have boxed and unboxed most of my supplies and organized them in the most convenient way. But I still feel like there's a desert within me. So, I took out my pencils and tried to revive an old love: figure drawing

I had fun for a while until I felt the excitement wane again. I took out my watercolor sets and brushes and started doodling and swatching colors and mixes. Nothing much came out of it except a few small landscape paintings that seemed like drills. Better than nothing, I know. 

Should I just stick to my trusty drawing pencils? I get impatient every time I finish a drawing because I would immediately want to turn it into a painting. But for some reason, the motivation to paint isn't there. Perhaps I should stay with my pencils for a while and just draw whatever I feel like drawing. Let the pencil be the stump and the self be not stumped.
