Pain Tour 2012!

Wow what a wild time it's been these last two weeks. My body has decided to FLIP out and wreak havoc and show me the extent of human suffering in multiple facets. THANKS BODY! I was even feeding you expensive organic blueberries and this is what I get? :/
Last weeks horrible abdominal pains have led me to make an appointment (read $$$ appointment) at my doctors office on Monday morning to get some tests done for PCOS...polycystic ovarian syndrome, respectively. The pains have subsided just enough to focus on the other wonderful thing thats been going on....my old friend TOOTHIE decided to abcess on me out of the blue and I can't even explain in words the amount of horrendous suffering that is. Even vicodin didn't touch the pain and in fact I woke up nauseous and puked because the pain was so intense. EW! Sorry. I should have warned you I was going to write like a 12 year old boy.
A trip to the dentist yesterday revealed that a tooth that already had a root canal done and was crowned now needs to be retreated this very morning. Root Canal Part 2 electric boogaloo! Breaking through my crown I paid lots of money for to clean the site and get rid of the infection that is now seeped into my face spaces. I have  a puffy left cheek which is no bueno.
Dental surgery at 8am. Missing 2 days of work on my last week. $1, 600 estimate on todays procedure. No insurance. No work next month.
Am I a happy camper?
Maybe after this tooth is fixed I'll be a slightly happier camper and can figure out the $$$ end of things with a clear head. I know I can. Im well versed at adventures in unemployment after all.
No rest for these paintbrushes.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH UNINSURED PEOPLES!
Me and listerine are going to be BFF's from here on out. Wish me luck- dental parties are so not fun.
(TIP: Before a procedure make sure to tell the treating doctor you have NO INSURANCE...most places will deduct 20-30% off and do payment plans. Dont forgo treatment because of no insurance, it could make things worse in time if you dont get treated)

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...

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 ...
