Muscle beach is THAT way!

Ouch

Really? I'm on my 4th week of coughing? Just when my symptoms start to dissipate they come back. I had a horrible night of restless sleep because I kept waking up coughing. I thought I was over that part of the obstacle course. So annoyed. Is this pneumonia? Why am I dealing with this AND this other waiting game of seeing if my cells are precancerous. I want to say this is stressful but I'm resolved NOT to let it stress me out. Instead I will be proactive. I was looking at my lab results from blood work..it all looks like a foreign language to me....but next to one thing was the word LOW. Creatinine Serum Level=LOW. I googled it. Apparently it has to do with your muscle mass, kidneys and your muscles atrophying. Its also reading as if I'm a vegetarian, which I'm not. If this is a free pass to eat lots of yummy steak I'll take it!

But more realistically it means...strength training. My muscles have dissolved this year sitting at a canvas all the time. Artists can get very sedentary and when I start working on a painting I'm hellbent. You can't tear me away . So I have to design my day differently. Exercise first. Before work. Exercise because I have to in order to live. I don't ever want to be taken down with 4 weeks of bloody damn coughing again. I'm mad at myself for not taking better care of ME.

Perhaps more exercise will make me more tired and I can sleep better at night. Maybe. My lack of sleep isn't helping things, it's not allowing me to heal properly. Ah downward spiral! But today I will change it all around, because I can. Pretty sure yummy steaks are gonna make me well too! : )

I'm going to get a proper calendar this year and use it, I'm going to utilize my time wisely. I will have to say NO to things that put me in too much of a bind, things that would detract from me having time to take care of me. 2013 is going to be the selfish year of rebuilding my health and muscles. NYAH! But no one gets to stand on my shoulders when I'm all buff!

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...

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...) Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you. Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing: 1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
