Cheater cheater melon eater

Yesterday's watermelon party with my Mom was much needed. Got to chat with my brothers a bit and indulged in some CHEAT FOOD 🤤 ...one real ballpark hotdog in a real bun....with Sour Cream and Onion Lays potato chips....a real Coca Cola....serving of tri colored sherbet...and WATERMELON 🤤 Oh me oh my it was glorious. Got caught up on family stuff and then did a social distance meetup with a friend for a snocone outside. I'm all socialed out and ready to hole up again now... And jump back on the clean eating wagon.

Saw this beauty on one of my walks and had to snap it!

Didn't start a painting this weekend because it seemed imperative that I scrub my fridge down and kind of make some sense and room for everything. Part of healthy eating is prep work in advance so you always have stuff ready to go... Otherwise it's not convenient and junk food is. Make healthy food convenient. Wash and chop that salad stuff, always have it ready. So it felt majorly fantastic to have a clean fridge again and space...for half a watermelon 😂

Today begins Phase 2 of Metabolic Renewal and I'm up waaay too early having my morning coffee. I'm already scheduling a nap later. Getting psyched up for the sweat session and butt kicking it will be.
A lot of healthy lifestyle changes going on over here and where my focus isn't on painting it's on rebuilding my health right now but it will all come together in due time.
Time to hit the Monday...at 4 am 😳 Have a great week everyone!

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...

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...

Digital Vacation

Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁 I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back. First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time! I'm weaning mys...
