Pain Tour 2012!

Wow what a wild time it's been these last two weeks. My body has decided to FLIP out and wreak havoc and show me the extent of human suffering in multiple facets. THANKS BODY! I was even feeding you expensive organic blueberries and this is what I get? :/
Last weeks horrible abdominal pains have led me to make an appointment (read $$$ appointment) at my doctors office on Monday morning to get some tests done for PCOS...polycystic ovarian syndrome, respectively. The pains have subsided just enough to focus on the other wonderful thing thats been going on....my old friend TOOTHIE decided to abcess on me out of the blue and I can't even explain in words the amount of horrendous suffering that is. Even vicodin didn't touch the pain and in fact I woke up nauseous and puked because the pain was so intense. EW! Sorry. I should have warned you I was going to write like a 12 year old boy.
A trip to the dentist yesterday revealed that a tooth that already had a root canal done and was crowned now needs to be retreated this very morning. Root Canal Part 2 electric boogaloo! Breaking through my crown I paid lots of money for to clean the site and get rid of the infection that is now seeped into my face spaces. I have  a puffy left cheek which is no bueno.
Dental surgery at 8am. Missing 2 days of work on my last week. $1, 600 estimate on todays procedure. No insurance. No work next month.
Am I a happy camper?
Maybe after this tooth is fixed I'll be a slightly happier camper and can figure out the $$$ end of things with a clear head. I know I can. Im well versed at adventures in unemployment after all.
No rest for these paintbrushes.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH UNINSURED PEOPLES!
Me and listerine are going to be BFF's from here on out. Wish me luck- dental parties are so not fun.
(TIP: Before a procedure make sure to tell the treating doctor you have NO INSURANCE...most places will deduct 20-30% off and do payment plans. Dont forgo treatment because of no insurance, it could make things worse in time if you dont get treated)

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
