Just another quick update, I have been doing a spring cleaning thing and trying to get rid of all the art supplies that I do not need, and have managed to sell off most them already and rather quickly, or at least quicker than I thought I would which is a good thing. I am moving towards just using two to three brands of paints that are of higher quality, in this case I am going to be sticking with Golden and Liquitex, both there heavy and soft body paints, though I am likely going to be more leaning towards Golden because its just slightly less expensive than Liquitex. Now the big thing is I have to start researching where I can get the best prices for either or of them so that I can get a good source for my painting supplies moving forward without spending an enormous amount of money. Actually who am I kidding it is still going to cost, I just want to find the lowest cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would have liked to have gotten in some painting time but had to also finish with the spring cleaning stuff first because I have less stuff to go through all the better. We have also been doing lots of other spring cleaning stuff throughout the rest of the house as well purging things that aren\u2019t necessary anymore and cleaning up things and I had a couple of things to fix which I did this past weekend as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that I have all those things out of the way I will start to work on scheduling time to get some painting done, which is something I want to do from 2 – 3 times a week initially and go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finally last week pulled the trigger on doing TRT, it\u2019s done and I got the blood draw on Friday for testing to see if it\u2019s low as I think it is. Just have to wait for the results and then see what I get before I start taking it. This should help with my recovery and just my general feeling like shit from time to time going forward. I will be looking forward to positive changes from it that is for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well just a quick update right now.
