(((3rd post in a row!!!!!!))))

 Quick post:  Hex and pizza waiting for me at home!

Ok day - really happy with the direction I took on prints with new colors, away from black!  Started with "COFFEE" print months ago, and I'm so happy I figured this out.  Kinder, Gentler look, more 2023 ?  Most importantly -- away from the black+gray+BROWN rut I've been stuck in for so long. 

Emma got her boosters at HRA, glad to be finished!  $30 more, which was funny/surprising.

Failed to get all accomplished print wise, for WHARF and UNION MARKET, but like I always feel/say - the creative aspect is most important.  As long as I'm happy with the work I'm doing.  A luxury, I know.  For sure!

 Wow - second consecutive day of blogging!  Maybe I can do a third and so on.

Just back from the steam.  Lonely gym, I miss the old one.  This gym just has no community like that one.  No life and energy.  Hoping that comes back when it reopens.

Weird day - every day is weird.  Call that car was ready threw me off, but in a good way.  Wish I was prepared to hit Buzz, because that would have been perfect.  Car looks great, and so happy they fixed the window.  Side a little strange, but must be my imagination.  GLAD It's ALL ACCOMPLISHED!!

Big job was to start my massive flow of printing, but it started with a Peter.  Made marginal progress with screens, but overwhelmed by all I need to do.  Finally, ordered envelopes and boards.  Finally.

LOTS TO DO, and Im so stalled and distracted.  Buy glasses, non puppy, non trip, news, computer, video, twitter, etc.  All typical, but feels like I can't control myself.  Maybe the blog will help.  Writing it down.  Maybe.

SUE died 5 years ago today.  That probably was in the back of mind too.  in my cells, and my subconscious.  poor Sue.

 Every day is a weird day.  Maybe since Nov '16, or maybe it always was?

Sitting here at the studio waiting to "frame" a print I spent waaaaay too much time printing today.  I wanted it to be perfect, and it really was an easy thing to do, but I tend to just drag everything out.  I have no discipline, or self-control, or both.  I take multiple breaks, and time just putters away.

But it turned out really great, so in the end, I have to feel satisfaction.

I got the AC cord for the video camera, to at least VIEW all my old DV tapes.  Started watching them, and it became tedious.  Haha, the 2000 tech and a "23 attention span.  A tiny sputtering screen and lag rewind and fast-forward.  

 Spent some time switching out tapes, getting a little bored with my mostly boring tapes, and then sure enough, the camera started to malfunction, and would no longer load tapes.  Ugh.  Of course.  So now the AC cord gets returned, and I do nothing.  Unless I bite the bullet and get them converted.  So glad I didn't spend the plan B money on all the computer cords, since the camera would have broken (probably) anyway.

The whole "project" reminds me of "videos" (((coded language))).  The excitement and anticipation, going to the store, watching them, and immediately wanting to ride myself of them, and the memory of even having them.  It was always so cleansing dropping them back off, as if the whole enterprise never occurred.  Well, this misadventure is similar in that I want to return the $13 cord, get my refund, and pretend the whole thing never happened.

All this nostalgia lately.  Cant decide if it's good or bad.  Or just another distraction.  Love my old watch (with new $3 battery), but just realized the impetus for it "watching" my computer yesterday.  Robert R.  Haha, that is so crazy and funny and subconscious!  I thought it was trying on Cords at the Apple store.  Dave, you interesting creature!

POURING rain outside.  Thought there would be a massive storm yesterday, but it never came.  Waling to work past week while car dent is being fixed.  Anxious to get it back!  The Mini Cooper angst is interesting.  The heart wants what it wants (Echo)

In the back of my mind, I think that dude for Alyson Adventures will email back with an offer I can't refuse for a trip on 12th.  Well see.  Maybe if I manifest it.

 Weeks later, and here I am returning to the blog.  I come and go. Well, here I am.

Friday night, and I'm waiting for Hex to finish at the Dr office.  Fun coffee with Cheryl this morning, which always puts me in a good mood.  Not much work progress lately.  It's crazy, I'm just puttering along on personal things, and the days go by.  I do some work, but it's - I don't know - crazy how much I'm putting things off.

Picked out glasses, and am excited to have them to try out.  Spent lots of $, but that's ok.  Contracts are still a work in progress, that's why I'm so anxious to try the glasses.  We'll see.

Drawing again after a while and that's nice.

Car in shop for dent (ugh, what a MAJOR pain in the ass this has all been), so walking with Emma. Ok I guess, but ugh

Emma anxious, so I guess I will leave now.  ADDICTED to my computer with all the news flowing.  Russia, J6, and everything else.
