Weekly Summary - May 14 2021

I'm going to sound like a broken record, because there hasn't been any improvement in my sleep situation. In fact, last night was one of the worst nights I'd had in about a week, so I'm feeling particularly despondent about the whole situation. Last week here. The pop up event last weekend was a bit of a bust. For some inexplicable reason, it was cancelled on Facebook, but we weren't notified by email like I was told we would be. So I showed up and set up before I even thought to check. It was a beautiful sunny day, and...

Weekly Summary - May 7

It's the first week of May, and this is just my life now. I guess I don't sleep any more. My productivity and motivation have suffered greatly from this, and obviously I'm not happy with how my art is going (because it isn't). (Last week here.) I went to a new doctor a couple days ago, and she suggested anti-anxiety meds, hoping to treat an underlying cause of the sleeplessness. So far I haven't noticed any difference, so I'm still taking the other to fall asleep, and waking up in the wee hours of the morning unable to fall back asleep. I'm almost...

Weekly Summary - April 30 2021

This prior week was almost an exact copy of the week before. (Details on last week here, including a video review of what I worked on.) I'm still having trouble getting a good night sleep as the week goes on, and I haven't been as consistent as I would like with my 100 Days project or regular studio time. I'm nearly done with my first 100 Days Project! Yesterday I painted number 97. I'm so very close to the end and I want to just push through the last 3 days. Then I think I may take a break for...

Weekly Summary - April 23 2021

I'm running behind today so I'm going to try to keep this shorter than usual, and just include a short video review of what I worked on over the week. I've been considering modifying the format to focus on what I painted and use more images instead of words. (Last week here if you're curious.) I'm struggling with life again here at the end of the week due to not sleeping again, dammit. I went to the doctor last week and have been taking generic Ambien for about a week. It was helping me fall asleep easily, but now I'm struggling to stay asleep. I'm...
