Making Time

This is what I look like in 2019 😂😜
After three months as a hermit I finally went out. OUT. Out of the house to hang with my girlfriend and fellow Bowie die hard. We checked out Thin White Dukes at the Granada and I even wore my Italian leather boots instead of the tennis shoes I wore to everything constantly. Im a fan of sensible footwear- this was also my year to USE the things I have so boots it was. And wine colored fur collar and a plum velvet riding jacket. I was enjoying the fruits my closet offered up after all my labor with it.
Fun night and now I'm tired and resolved to a day of lounging and a hot soak. "Late" nights are hard on this old lady!
I don't even do selfies hardly-that's how much I do not care about my appearance on most given days. Its a wonder I still own makeup 😜
So far I've made time for my friends and finished a book and am back on my walking at least 2 miles a day. Not a bad start to the year.
Work kicked off with a bang and I got word yesterday that Im going to be mega busy with work. This pleases me and I'm bracing myself for the whirlwind. Also looks like I'll be traveling to Houston to work on a big wall project soon. Projects, projects, projects and trying to stay on top of ME.
Enjoy the weekend, make time for friends and make time for YOU ❤🌺

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

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 ...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...
