"Entanglement"

I'm up early getting ready for another doctors appointment. Thought I'd drop a quickie blog and catch up with everything. My sickie time came but luckily it didn't get so bad this time. I was all packed to go to the hospital but so far everything is staying down in my stomach where I put it. I have been having to take hydrocodone to keep the pain in check though- this sucks to me, it's hard to work and be productive when you feel kinda dizzy and out of it.
Nonetheless I did manage to finish THAT painting up there before I got ill. Started a new painting yesterday and will just keep moving forward. Time is ticking- soon it will be time for my art opening at Baylor Health Sciences Library on May 31!
Yesterday I got more injections for a job I'm going to be doing at Dallas Childrens Medical Center. I'm working on a mural with a friend and it will all have to be done at night so I'll have to switch my whole sleeping schedule and be a night owl. Doesn't that sound fun kids? Harumph- the things freelance artists have to do to put bacon on the table. I've had four immunizations just to make sure the wall I'm painting doesn't catch measles or mumps from me! HA!
I have so many paintings to create that I do not have time for not feeling well so positive thinking and pushing through it, hopefully whatever monster is inside me is either shrinking or dying or at least going away. And that's what's up with me. Painting, pain pills and getting poked.
Have a nice week everyone!

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...

Down Time

work in progress, my first MUNNY It's been a whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and getting ready for the holidays. There are now small signs of Christmas here, a wreath on the door, the tiny tree is up and garland is flocking the doorway. I sent out some Christmas cards and bought the Christmas ham to share with my family. I guess I need to find a pie though, absolutely forgot about that. Some friends are coming over tonight so I'm making my studio presentable for whoever would like to see it....it's a dining room, don't expect some cool amazing room filled with cool amazing things. In fact almost all my art is NOT EVEN HERE. And actually the get together is being held next door at my friend and landlords place so I don't have to break my back trying to be the hostess with the mostest awesome house. I'm an artist with 3 cats and too much stuff, it's never gonna be pretty. But I digress, this blog is about that creepy looking head up there.... I need...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
