Moon watching and balance sheets

Last night as I took Merlin out for the last time, there were thin clouds racing across the sky. The nearly full moon wouldn’t be blocked by them. It’s light seemed to burn holes in the clouds and let the moon be completely visible. A colorful ring showed the amount of moisture in those clouds … Continue reading Moon watching and balance sheets

Show applications

Take 2 today on my FanX application. Apparently it didn’t get transmitted correctly. It certainly wasn’t what I wanted to get done today, but it’s important, so I did it. I swear it was a different application. I think they changed it. (grin) I’ll have to get to painting later this evening. I got some … Continue reading Show applications

Waiting for the click

Life happened and I had several things to take care of today before I could get to my creative endeavors. I updated several things last night before I went to bed hoping to make my activities this morning shorter, and it did. But waking up early made my night very short. I was just ready … Continue reading Waiting for the click

Lot of little

I had to stay focused this morning. I had a lot to do. I did wake up a bit early, so I had time to get some audio editing done. Then I tried to sketch the flower on the sun painting before my meetings. I wasn’t thrilled with the flower, so after my meetings, it … Continue reading Lot of little

Pick up the brush and go

I woke up this morning with painting on my mind. Even though I got words in and I recorded two audio chapters, I spent a good chunk of time painting. If that’s what was compelling me this morning, I might as well listen to it. I find that I go through cycles. Sometimes I really … Continue reading Pick up the brush and go

Travel day

I took some of the vegetable soup I made yesterday and ran it to my youngest son in Boise. We spent the day together hanging out, eating too much, and watching two more episodes of our current show. What a couple of fantastic days. Except that now I’m tired and feeling too full. Not only … Continue reading Travel day

Ears up at attention

I set out today determined to get in the recording booth to get a chapter done, hopefully two. Well that just turned into a comedy of errors. Geez! What should have been a half hour warm up for my booth ended up being at least two. Nothing seemed to be going well, but I knew … Continue reading Ears up at attention

Website work

Been doing some continuing education and discussions today, so again, another short creative day. I keep waiting for the rhythm (grin). Maybe I’ll shorten my day at the other end for a bit today so I can get something done. I did spend some time to get a few more items added to my Morning … Continue reading Website work

Progress on sun painting update

As expected, a short creativity today. In fact, I’ve gotten nothing done that way. I did work on newsletters though. Hey, it’s Wednesday. That must mean business, right? (Note to new readers: I’ve noticed for some time that my brain likes to think numbers and business on Wednesdays. The link is to another post I … Continue reading Progress on sun painting update

Election day

Another short creative day. I went to go vote earlier today, and I decided to walk down to the polls and then a couple more blocks to get a coffee. A very unusual start to my day, for sure. But it felt good. Besides, I had to do something to counteract the barrage of glossy … Continue reading Election day
