Pandemic presents

No walk today! I actually woke up sleepy, tired and out of it. Thank you Texas allergies! So I'm listening to my body... Slept a little later than usual and am still planning on doing my Metabolic Renewal workout for the day. I haven't missed one yet! It's also work work day at the jobby so I'm not going to beat myself up-its kinda miraculous I do all this stuff before work. I'll be out walking again tomorrow. It's super important to listen to your body when it's talking to you.

This is my morning breakfast every day except one day on the weekend (usually Sunday) I will have eggs and whatever else. A proper breakfast. But I really do love my breakfast shakes and getting my greens in without really tasting them- win win!

I've been slowly on track taking care of business and I called the hospital yesterday after seeing an email I owed $20,000 +

What the?! The guy on the other end of the phone said that all my cases were closed with them. My recent Covid stuff was accounted for and in the clear. The numbers I was seeing were old debts from 2016 ??? Endometriosis stuff no doubt and some pneumonia but $20,000 and there were no surgeries...wow! There's nothing to be done for all that and I can't worry about it. 2016 and in collection, it will just have to fade out over the years. It was good news all the Covid stuff is cleared off though. I'm trying to be responsible and accountable and right all the stuff that I possibly can right now. I am full on in TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS MODE. 💪 I finally have my credit in Fair standing and got approved for a credit card with my bank. I don't like credit cards but we're in a pandemic and I think a little emergency cushion may come in handy. So that's my boring life right now, drinking chocolatey salads and trying to fix my credit. So boring adulty. So strangely satisfying 😂

I really believe this strange time out may be a productive thing for me in the long run... Covid made me get up off my butt and start making changes. Death close to home made me realize the time can't be wasted. Is the pandemic bringing anything good to your shores?

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 ...

Year of the Dragon

First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE. *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...
