Samedi et je me sens incroyable! Saturday and I feel on fire. Very productive and positive morning, painting, ordering, communicating, just generally enjoying all of it. Going for a ride instead of a run, to let the torn hamstring heal a bit. Feeling more positive about all things today. Painting almost daily and doing music too. Also enacting Shaun Achor’s Power of Happiness recommendations again. These seem to be the best tools I have for living the life today that I want to live, instead of waiting for “someday when”.

Working alone, even Tim is gone, fired for two months, until the fall semester. Tomorrow morning another 5am run with Betsy, for 5 or so. Yes, it makes the day difficult, unless I get to bed early enough. And I wonder again, as often I do, what’s the point? And yet, I understand that the point is in the doing of it. Like all of this stuff. It has value to me in the doing of it. It is where I go to feel that I am supposed to be here, doing that.

Pandemic party seul. Working on the daily works, the new guitar lecons, and getting this business stuff in shape. No drinking works best for retaining both a sense of purpose and the desire to act upon it. Back still hurting, so haven’t been running much. Perhaps tomorrow, a run or a ride. Yep. That’s a very good idea.

et le déprimé a retourné. Fuck

12+ miles again, with everyone, 26 degrees F, cloudy, Cafe and coffee. Afternoon Stan Wilson journal pages. Finishing and photographing at least five images today, and posting. Yeah, in your face, depression.

First of the lily vases finished, after having completed them, then overworked them, then re-claiming them, as in the initial dynamic pass. I learned a lot. THAT process is what I must remember and focus on, and not on finishing. They always finish themselves as long as I am engaged and pursuing whatever is presented to me.

Added more, but will have to re-photograph. It’s tricky to get these mixed-media pieces photographed correctly. Mainly, I need to just keep making stuff. Daily. Still not back on my french studies, but buying the truck, and changing my job are pretty much in the past now. Just trying not to negatively judge what I make, as I make it. It’s tricky.

Website active now, as a work in progress, which I admit it was always supposed to be, but for some reason, a part of me was thinking it was all supposed to be “perfect” before anyone could see it.

Some more work on this, realizing the photo processing needs to be as simple as possible. It’ll have to be one at a time, with labeling matching the work in the drawers, and racks. Mitchel’s painting is done now. The figure is more gestural and the coloring is improved. Need to just get more work done. Easy.

Rainy. A run again. Lifting. Adding another layer/change to Mitch’s painting. Improved the website.
le soir dimanche.
Real progress on the site, and have Lightroom working. Ready on the copy stand to take photos of work. Time to start sorting drawers, and bring down everything that is in the attic.

Sunday, 2 hours of painting. FInished Mitchell’s canvas, and almost finished the backyard table party. Rain, time out for the gym, and then photographing art for this site.
