Life at the moment

My workstation in bed
Usually I make an announcement before I take a "facebreak" but it was kind of a spontaneous decision and warranted no hooplah. It seemed as good a time as any for another "retreat". I need my reset button pushed and this usually does the trick.

Im closing out the second week of back injury mode and although Im feeling like a lot of progress has been made- still injured- still can't walk too much or sit too long.
Ive devised a little workstation out of a tray and a piece of wood so I can work more comfortably in bed on work that's piling up.
Being off Facebook will help me be productive and Ive removed the place I bemoan my woes so no bemoaning now. Its not productive and I need to be productive.

My chiropractic sessions are done and they helped a lot. It was good to get a visual of mortal me. A crooked skeleton. Now Im on my own for self care and staying on top of my injury. Its been a trip down memory lane to the 10 years ago when it happened and the battle to rebuild myself.
Rebuild again. Its a theme of life. Get destroyed and rebuild-over and over.
I feel like a lot of things need evaluation right now and also a lot of just plain "letting it be" and not chasing anything.
What does any of this have to do with "art"? This is the art of life. Getting destroyed, rebuilding, weathering the storms, turning inward, working it out, pushing through and standing up again.
This is the art of life.

If anyone needs me theres Messenger still. If youre a VIP you have the batline phone number for texts,etc. Instagram is most likely still gonna be scanned on the daily. My Tigerbee Arts page is still active and I may pop off a blog or 2 here for the curiosity seekers. I'll be back but just need a break at the moment.
Hugs, Trish

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 ...

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...

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 ...
