Getting used to computer.  Sure is nice to have software work without lagging.  Need to sign up for Adobe soon, time is ticking.  I hate their new system.  It's robbery.

Tried to print smaller tote, but didn't work out like I feared.  The bunchy sides get in the way of the press pressing.  Went on another hunt for 055, but its O - U - T.  Really sucks, but I need to move on.

Plants are starting to come into studio, so the space will feel more crowded.  Getting significantly colder out.

Took Emma to Great Falls saturday, and she did great with sticking by me.  I'm happy to build up confidence with her.  I feel like these things were more of a given with Remi.  Emma takes a little bit more effort.

Saw Isle of Dogs last night.  So creative.

Dear Dave,

A week later from imac meltdown, and I'm back up and running.  New 27" computer and new printer scanner, and "trial" run on ai.  Ugh, I'm going to have to rent it now.  What a racket.

Working on my scanning, tracing method.  Think I might have gotten 80% there today, but sad to see the old way go.  After 10 years I've gotten used to my lines looking a certain way.  No longer can enlarge and scan at the same time, so things are looking different.

Love the updated computer, and glad I went for the bigger screen.  Cancelled my order for small at the last minute after a trip to Best Buy to check them out.  Happy with the printer for now.

the biggest revelation: iweb works.  I cannot believe it.

Lots to do as always.  Get rid of old computer(s), printer, and resolve all sues stuff.  And keep preparing for holidays.  Behind as usual.

iWeb acting really strange.  It won't let me change home page at all without screwing it all up.  Another step towards giving it up.  I am jumping thru ridiculous hoops to keep the old computer.  Iweb was the reason.  Now that isn't even working.

Annoyed with my phones thumbprint lock.  Takes 3-4 tries every time.  That's a lot annoying.

Updated instagram is a mystery.  There are 10,000 features all over the place.  It's a cluttered mess of options and stories.  I like my old version.

The 50 year old me.

Found ames tote blanks cheaper.  Excited about that...  Order 24 before jumping in.  Hoping the company is not a scam.

Don't ever know what happend to ccnow.  What a mess that was!

dear dave,

dinner cancelled with Cher and Barb tonight, so pizza with hex.

Liking my new phone.

Planning sidewalk sale this saturday, but there will be no totes.  Alpha all out, which sucks.  Was excited to make more after they sold out on Saturday.  A fun new thing.

Wish I could make new buttons, but they are just too expensive to justify.  We'll see.  Hopefully they have another big sale.

LOVE MY NEW SUNGLASSES!!!  The lenses make everything so beautiful.  I never want to take them off.

Trying to post using new iphone. Think it’s working. An app would be easier for sure.

New Iphone SE all loaded and activated.  Just a little getting used to.  Also noticed my website was all crazy on it.  After lots of tweaking, I think I fixed.  Guess it has been wrong for awhile.

Got long lost DMs from instagram that never showed up on my old phone.  Sad to have missed.  tech just keeps moving forward, and everyone assumes we are all moving at the same speed.  Hex and I finally catching up a little bit.

End of this week will be middle Oct!  crazy - time marches on.  As usual, I'm behind.

Happy 50th birthday to me today.

Blessed to have my Hex & Emma, friends and family that suport me, and the freedom to do what I want everyday.

Hoping for a future that inspires through my work and life.
