Seeing others and accountability #11

I think that it’s good when we see each other having human moments. It’s good to see that someone cares. It’s good to see that others make mistakes. It’s good to see people use their resources when they know they have limitations. Let’s just say that we had a company bowling party today. I shamelessly … Continue reading Seeing others and accountability #11

Goodbye, sweet prince

The world lost a prince today. I put my black cat, Coville, down today. He was really sick last week and wasn’t eating. He’d become rather skeletal over the last couple of months with quite a bit of weight loss in the last few weeks, and he’d become unstable when walking and often staggered and … Continue reading Goodbye, sweet prince

Paintings delivered

The art is down at the arts council, ready to be hung for the show starting Friday. The picture at the top is all the pieces side-by-side. I also got some writing done. There’s more I want to say, but I can’t right now. My heart is heavy, and that’s about all I can say. … Continue reading Paintings delivered

Paintings ready

I finished getting my paintings prepared to take tomorrow for the upcoming art show. Yes, even the small hole got patched. It is noticeable if you look very closely at it. I was so tempted to make it into a white star that would only be seen on the original. I still might. I do … Continue reading Paintings ready

It could be great

Oh yes, after paddle boarding yesterday, I was sore today. Tired too. I took a long nap today. And I spent the rest of the day preparing the artwork for next week. Put a hole in a piece. A small hole, but dang. So, painting repair. And I need more D-rings. It was because I … Continue reading It could be great

A fun day in the sun

I’m going to start out by saying that the picture above lies. I was not out on a river, but on a lake today. I just didn’t take any pictures though I should have. I went paddle boarding today for the first time. Very fun. Almost made it to stand up. Fell in, went swimming … Continue reading A fun day in the sun

Got going on those paintings

I started two paintings today. I also watched a couple movies and sat outside to read for a bit today. That’s my way of saying that I had a day where I didn’t do too much. I just kind of took it easy. I did cook more meat for Merlin’s dog food and did a … Continue reading Got going on those paintings

Verge of a holiday

Here we are in the States on the verge of our 4th of July holiday. This year, either because Merlin’s hearing is going or because the Copaiba I’ve been giving him, he has not been freaking out at the sounds of the early fireworks — even one that went off while we were outside. I’m … Continue reading Verge of a holiday

Another day

I continued working on getting my art prepared for next week. I’m to a point where I really need to focus on it for a few minutes to get it finished up. At least I feel like I’m narrowing in. Other than that, I got a few words done in a few minutes and I … Continue reading Another day

Accountability #10

I just realized that I didn’t do my reporting last week. Probably because it was so dismal. Time to catch up. While I fell in my June words, I was still up over February and March words. Overall, I’m up almost 55,000 words from where I was at this time last year. For me, that’s … Continue reading Accountability #10
