I am back, after a long pause from posting here yet again. Life has a way of getting in the way of the best intentions. At some point I will find a way to do everything that I want and or need to do fit in a day, though I highly doubt that will happen because I can\u2019t remove sleep from each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a good note I did start a new painting shortly after putting together my new drawing table, which I will post a pic of here after I take new photos of the office\/studio now that it is in its more final form. Now the trick will be actually being able to use the drawing table enough to justify having purchased it. Again all goes back to the time I lack. Eventually I will get it all straight and make the time thing a non-issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a good note, I started TRT, and have been poking myself with a needle twice a week for the last 4ish weeks and I think this is starting to help and it will only get better once I can start straightening out my sleep, which I am still not getting enough of, I think once I get there then things will start to get even better. I have my diet all put together and am eating decent at least 5 or 6 days out of the week, there always seems to be that one day where I basically don\u2019t eat remotely near enough during the course of the day which is a bit problematic. But getting better with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have also decided that I am going to start writing more as well, and hopefully publish a book or two or more maybe, but will be doing that under a pen name that well I will not be sharing here at all, as that will completely separate from my art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well just wanted to put something out there in the world as to what was going on with me lately.
Later,
DW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
