Just wanted to drop in and provide some sort of update because I haven\u2019t been able to get here and do so as of late. What has been going on with me as of late, a whole lot of nothing, as I haven\u2019t had time to do much of anything in the last several weeks in the realm of art making. Work has kept me extremely busy and then once I get done with work and hit the gym and get home I haven\u2019t been left with a lot of time so I have to work on making the most of that time so that I can get some creating done starting this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a good note, the wife and I purchased a new vehicle, replaced our truck with a new Jeep Wrangler, it was time, the truck was getting tired, it was fast approaching 180K miles so we figured it was as good a time as any to replace it. And we have already starting doing things to the Jeep that we want to have done with it, didn\u2019t take long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also have plans to start working on my drawing skills as well, haven\u2019t been able to do that either but will be planning to work on scheduling that into my time as well even if it isn\u2019t every day, might have to go back and forth, paint one day and do drawing on another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This weekend will be busy as all get out as well, we have a concert tonight (Dorothy) and then we have another concert tomorrow (Falling In Reverse) so that is going to consume a bunch of our time, as well as needing to hit the gym and have things to grab for a work fund raiser that the wife is doing later next week. It is a wonder that I ever have anytime to myself, oh wait, I barely do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well just wanted to provide a quick update as to what is going on with me.
