Nothing much


Blogger changed its interface so I just wanted to write a quick blog to kind of check things out and see where everything is and what's new. Yesterday started off with Phase 2 of Metabolic Renewal workout and it was a butt kicking just like I had prophesied.
We did this evil thing called Sumo squats that came right after some other leg exercises that followed other leg exercises...ohhhh LEG DAY oof! I was actually wanting pushups... Crunches... Anything to break up more squats! My legs were jello afterward and walking more than 2 miles just wasnt going to happen. I ended up not doing ANYTHING for the rest of the day except getting my car tune up, oil changed and a coil replaced. 
I'm slowly starting the adulting phase of trying to get my car ready for inspection. It's got issues and everything costs money. I'm also starting the adulting phase of building my credit. I actually started this last year and got my credit from Poor to Fair with my first credit card. Now I've got more medical debt hanging around after I just cleared off the old debt. Grrr! Staying zen about it, it's life. All in all I've made a ton of progress in climbing out of the rubble and feel like I'm fixing all aspects of my life right now...health, financial, etc. I've come a long way. 
Ok new interface isn't too weird just takes some getting used to. Have a great new week everyone!

  1. You know, that's how it is, it's always something. Car messing up, a/c messing up, something to jack up the good credit, viruses, new kittens showing up in the yard when I'm already taking care of too many! Things always seem to end up working out though. I think I'd take those problems over leg day though! Ok maybe I'm exaggerating, but I HATE leg workouts!

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...
