Here's Where I'm At

  So, more on the struggle. I think (well, I'm 99% sure) that I'm done with the move from Paducah. I'm not sure how (or when) we'll get rid of that house. I just want to be done with it. I don't care if we don't make a dime, as long as we don't have to pay any more. It's taken waayyyy to long to get our stuff. We've run in to all kinds of trouble with it. I don't need that at this point in my life. Maybe we can just give it back to the bank.
   I've got about six minutes of animation for my Epitaph movie project. Not as much as I would have thought at this point, but better than nothing. It's been way more labor intensive that I thought. That's probably a good thing, as I may not have started it I had known.
   I had a daily drawing/writing journal I had been working on for about ten months that has fallen by the wayside. I'm really lucky I did as much as I did, and I just don't have it in me anymore.
   I've also been getting my studio reorganized, now that I have all my stuff. It has taken a lot of my precious free time, but it'll pay off in the long run. I haven't done as much painting/drawing as I should have. Barely just enough to keep the stress from overwhelming me. I'm a mess right now. I really should have more done than I have. Much more. Seems every time I get a bit of momentum built up something comes along to derail me. I won't make excuses, but my having to go back to full time waiting tables has really discouraged me. I'm great at what I do, but I'm ready to be done with the restaurant business and create full time. I suppose it's just not in the cards right now. I gotta play the cards I'm dealt. A bit of regrouping and I'll be back on the horse. I always get back up.

  Here's a picture of a painting I had started in Paducah. Two years ago. Maybe I can still make something of it. If not, I'll paint over it.
  Thanks for stopping in. I really appreciate the support.
