The Wait

 Mammogram Part 2- Electric Boogaloo
So I got the news that "something" abnormal was detected on my mammogram and that I needed a follow up test and sonogram.
All my friends and family have been super supportive and informative about their own experiences so I have worried less about this than I normally would in the past.
My test is scheduled this morning so keep a good thought out for me. ❤ I have been fortunate (if we can call it that) that I have been able to stay on top of all exams and because of my endometriosis- have seen my share of hospitals, CT scans, sonograms and blood work tests. So while ALL THAT SUCKED- its kept me in the loop of my body and health. It's also just given me the attitude of "ok, here we go again...lets see what's going on and then formulate a gameplan from there".
But fingers crossed it's just a lost popcorn kernel that zigged when it should have zagged. 😂
I have had some very kind people step up and make my current situation less miserable and for that I am so thankful.
I have more to be thankful for than not. So that's what I'm carrying with me today. And if things go South- Im surrounded by a whole crowd of loving and helpful people and that's an awesome thing.
Gratitude.
Thank 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...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
