Yesterday was my birthday, I will not be disclosing what age I am now currently at though. That was the good part of the day, the other part of the day wasn\u2019t so great as it was also the first day of work with the company that cut my pay by 10%. Though that is quite a huge cut I think I have things figured out that will keep it from causing us to much financial distress while I look for a new job or start getting things going with selling my art to make up for that loss. I figure with the side hustles that I am developing I stand a pretty strong chance of just developing the money on my own that we need to keep things all good and improve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that I have my office\/studio moved to a better location I will be able to start doing stuff more often, I hope to start creating at least 1 piece a week, maybe even 2, though that might be pushing it. I also need to start getting my drawing skills back so I can develop art for my other website which will not be abstract in nature at all, eventually I will share that here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the things I am working on is my personal training website, so if you happen to be in need of a trainer at all please do get in touch, as I can help you out, getting jacked or losing weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure about where all of you might be, but here it is HOT as HELL, with no relief in sight till the end of the week. Personally I prefer fall weather, you know the kind where you might just need a hoodie to stay all nice and comfy, that is how I would like it to be all year round. Of course I am not going to get that but hey we can all wish for things that are impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well quick update because I haven\u2019t posted one lately.
