Sleeping good tonight (i hope)

I feel better today, worked like a dog, the heat didn't kill me but that last table almost did.  Have to move a bunch of stuff tomorrow so that I can start working again...  Oh, by the way we are moving the studio to a different space so that air conditioning (and later heating) can be installed and we, the poor starving artists working there won't drop from heat exhaustion.  It was in the triple digits for two weeks here and who knows how long this overcast weather will last.  Sometimes it's monsoon every day for most of July and other times it's a week on and a week off with the 100's in-between. whoo!  Just depends on the year or how severe this drought that we get out of every other year is.

You know, no you don't cuz I haven't told you- I am working in a studio, well sort of- I work there when I don't have an official job or on my days off.  I don't get paid, I am trying to learn how to become, be, work at being, practice, (?) being an artist? without taking classes to justify studio time...will it work? I think I need several more years practice before I can answer that cuz I just realized about a year ago that it takes me about 3 to 5 years just to settle in to a new home, apartment, city, job-  which means that since I haven't been in town for a year yet that I have at least 2 more to go- man i just rush myself too much and then wonder why i feel like a failure... duh, i don't give myself the time i need do i.  And it only took me 9 years to figure it out!
