Weekend Warrior

 

Artist

This week was the return to work after two glorious weeks of holiday. It was welcome as I've missed the routine a little. I actually like my job and I haven't had occasion to say that a lot in life. If you are an old friend of mine you know I suffered greatly for many years at the hands of dingdong bosses, verbal and emotional abuse and being treated like a child with no sense of what to do. 
It wasn't until I leaped from that burning plane of dead end jobs into the great unknown of freelancing that I came alive at last.
So here I am, alive at last.. Learning, growing skills, enjoying what I do and not mad about returning to work and making a little money during a pandemic. I remind myself every day I AM LUCKY! 
My job is a little part timey job so there's still hustling to be done on the other days. Like Saturdays...are not weekends. It's another day to work. 
Today I'm doing signage for a client, contacting two friends who reached out about album art and a pet portrait and getting my payroll gig (another small side gig) streamlined. 
If you are feeling kind of lost in the Pandemic chaos and lost your job path...I highly recommend following your heart and what you are good at and interested in. It may not be the high stakes exciting money making career but it definitely gives you a happy heart and fulfillment which is much needed right now. Taking time to grow yourself and personal skills... When will you get this precious time again? 
Ok busy day for me. I also added in skateboard designing into the mix and have so many ideas brewing about that. 
Custom board I designed, one of a kind

I have all the creativity and tools at my disposal to fly. So it's time to work my wings this year. Have a great weekend friends, whether you're working or enjoying a break. ❤️ What kind of work have you been wanting to try your hand at?

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 ...
