Saturyay!

New prints will be stocked in my shop soon! I'm pretty excited to get these in my Shopify. They will be hand signed and printed on nice Rives paper. I'll get a release date posted soon if you are interested!

Work, work, work is consuming me at the moment and yes...I missed a whole week of workouts. This should have been my first week of Phase 4, the last phase of Metabolic Renewal. I've done so well ... Then birthday week happened and crashed my diet and then I signed up for a side gig in Lewisville and have been hustling on car stuff. So yeah, I suck. I slipped. I'll pick it back up on Monday though and kale smoothie is the order of the day today.
Sometimes life gets hectic. Forgive yourself and jump back in it. Because I'm always working for bills to be paid and a roof over my head I forgot the art of getting yourself something nice. A small reward for busting butt daily keeping life glued together. I bought myself a very affordable lamp set (two lamps for the price of one!) with some birthday money I received. 
I've always liked the idea of a bedside lamp and the lighting in my bedroom is stale. This is a nice relaxing vibe to relax into in my little sleepy cocoon space. Maybe because I work in a lamp shop the idea of lamps has been in my head 😂 
It feels good to have a nice birthday reward when usually any birthday money goes to paying bills.
This weekend is more work in Lewisville on a hotel project. No rest for the wicked and no such thing as a weekend. Work mode ON. Gotta afford lightbulbs now! 😂 
Treat yourself don't beat yourself! Have a great weekend if you are free to!

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 ...
