Wrapped in a nice blanket

I apparently needed sleep last night. I wasn’t feeling real well when I went to bed last night. I’d taken some Wellness Formula and some Lysine to hopefully stop whatever was going on. I set my sleep tracker and my other alarm, but apparently didn’t do any others. Yes, it takes me several alarms to … Continue reading Wrapped in a nice blanket

Observation of perspective

Let me pose a hypothesis: You’re world gets strange. Something different is happening. You’re heading in a direction you didn’t expect. Maybe it’s even a bit painful. Then, slowly, everything rights itself. You feel a little woozy, but your world returns to normal and perhaps even better than before. What has this that you’ve been … Continue reading Observation of perspective

Sleep tracking

A good dose of sleep was clearly what I needed. My sleep app tells me that I got more deep sleep than I have in a while — the deep sleep I was getting earlier in the year. I try to pay attention to those levels of sleep and see how they affect me overall. … Continue reading Sleep tracking

Here we are

I’m very disappointed tonight. It’s not good. I hate simmering in frustration, especially about something I can do little about. Thanks for listening. It’s made it hard to get things done tonight. I decided I had no mindset to work on my special painting, so I grabbed a canvas I’d started over the weekend and … Continue reading Here we are

Priorities, again

As happens on a lot of mornings, I wake up with that little voice in my head giving me direction. While I was writing last night’s blog, I was trying not to beat myself up with the thought that I was proving to myself that I was trying to do too much and that something … Continue reading Priorities, again

Too much, try again

Talk about burning the candle at both ends! I think I packed too much into today and didn’t give myself enough buffer. By 5:30, I was running out of steam. I tried to relax a little and give it another go. That was unsuccessful, so I think I’m just going to call it a day. … Continue reading Too much, try again

Focused Week

I feel like I’ve had an amazingly focused week and gotten a lot done. In fact, I continued a project I started nearly a decade ago and have been trying to get back to for the last few months. That’s a house project which really needs to get done. I also got some drawing done, … Continue reading Focused Week

Catching up

I’ve been a bit behind all day, but I’ve been determined to get things done even if it’s for only a few minutes. I’ve done audio editing, got some writing done, did some drawing, and painted. None of them have been for great lengths of time, but it’s better than getting nothing done. Drawing was … Continue reading Catching up

Thin skies

Tired tonight. I feel like I’ve been running full speed since this morning. Still managed to get writing and painting done. Finished the mountains painting I’ve been working on. Even went out for dinner with my son and his girlfriend after they came over to help me with a few things. The sky was also … Continue reading Thin skies

Mountains

I promised pictures of my painting from last night. The blog picture and the one below are work-in-process photos. I couldn’t work on the painting tonight, so I started the other painting I’ve been needing to get to work on. To do that, I had to gather a few research photos and plan the painting … Continue reading Mountains
