Cards being painted

I’ve been back to painting ACEOs (Artist Cards Editions and Originals) the last few days. It’s the start of what I hope will be a much larger project this year. Here are a couple of starts from last night: I worked on both of them tonight. Here they are finished now: I’m really pleased with … Continue reading Cards being painted

A different day

Here we are, arrived at the first day of 2024. It’s been a strange day, like there is something I’m supposed to be doing, but I’m not. Which is just illogical because I’ve done audio editing, sketched in my notebook, wrote, and painted. What else could there possibly be? Heck, I’ve even got to watch … Continue reading A different day

Party the night away

Today started off too early with Merlin not feeling well, for the second time in one night. Egads. I tried to get back to sleep, but just as I was dozing off, Merlin decided he needed to get up. He was now hungry. Of course. So, I just stayed up and did some audio editing … Continue reading Party the night away

I suspect I did overdo it yesterday. I felt like a wreck when I got up. But, I did put my contacts in, so that’s progress. I’ve been taking it a little slower today. I watched a couple Doctor Who specials. But I also did some audio editing, writing, prepared my newsletter, and submitted a … Continue reading 1% change

Projects, tasks, routines

I got out of my pajamas today and into real clothes. However, I never put the contacts in. I wasn’t actually sure I was going to be up all day. I haven’t felt great today. Throat still seems to be touchy and the muscles feel achy. Maybe there was a reason I was still positive. … Continue reading Projects, tasks, routines

Some work and thinking about 2024

I think I’ll have to try something radical tomorrow: getting dressed and putting contacts in. Here’s a chuckle: I was thinking last night as I was getting ready for bed that I hadn’t put my contacts in since last Friday. I finished up brushing my teeth and then started to put my contacts in. Yep. … Continue reading Some work and thinking about 2024

Tea and tired

I’ve been tired today. A few days ago, standing up seemed to be a good thing. Today, whenever I stand, all I want to do is sit back down. I’m exhausted, but thankfully not sore and raw. That’s done. Note I’m just whooped. Things are also tasting exceptionally strong now, but at least that’s a … Continue reading Tea and tired

Let it snow

Second Covid test shows I’m still infected. Egads! I do feel more like myself today though and do I tried to get some things done. Got sucked down a rabbit hole (gee, shocker) and an thinking about doing a massive campaign for my art. It would be a fun project, and would take some dedication … Continue reading Let it snow

Raw

I’m healing. I woke up raw, displaced, and miserable. But the fever is gone and I think I am recovering. I’m still miserable. I can’t go on about that right now. The last few days have been trying on me physically and emotional on many levels and now I’m just so raw. It’s probably all … Continue reading Raw

I should have taken that moment when my head wasn’t hurting yesterday to get some words done. It was a small reprieve that didn’t last long. Last night was another rough night. Today, I’m experiencing the shortness of breath. I’m really glad that I had years of swim team that build me some good lungs. … Continue reading Not recommended
