Well another day and yeah another day… Things haven’t been really exciting. Mostly boring days of me printing and painting. Haven’t felt well for the last couple days. So been extra blah totally lacking energy. I meant to write this earlier but fell asleep. So let’s start there.
Had an ok day. Woke up, made coffee, chatted while I worked on a vintage transformer. Fixing the transformer was difficult for my hands but easy enough to understand. I had to get a little creative but the mechanism seems to be working well enough now. Took me most of the morning to finish him. After that I got to work painting. The nurse stopped by for a bit. We had a nice chat. Then back to work painting. I finished up a Snailien as far as I could, base coated another and at that point realized I needed certain paints I was out of… A good friend just gave me a nice donation last night so that all went to paint + a little. I use Citadel paint from games-workshop.com. It’s my absolute favorite brand. I use others too but mainly Citadel for everything. So that wasn’t cheap. Had to order a couple more supplies which I was in desperate need of, but they were only a few bucks luckily. I think I tried to work a little longer but I’ve been having bad days, my body crashed and down I went. Not literally, I made it to my chair. Just came back to life about and hour ago.
Yesterday was even less eventful. Just mostly painting and printing. A good friend UB gave me a donation which was fantastic! I needed paint really bad because right now that’s my only very minor income, painting things. I hated to spend the money but I felt it necessary. Have 5 commissions I still need to finish. Need certain paint for some, so those are on hold until the order gets in. Shouldn’t take long. Other than painting to fill commissions I didn’t do much. Had a body crash yesterday too and slept half the day. I did however get some good progress done painting.
Adventures in 3D printing… I printed my first multi-piece build. Like a model kit of sorts. It was a challenge. The last section didn’t turn out just right so I had to do some major finishing work to get it assembled. It’s together now and looks darn good, especially for a first attempt. Snailiens continue to be popular. The first ones have shipped and should be getting to their new homes very soon. I have three left to finish. One almost done, one just needs the shell and just got a new commission today. Two in fact! Another guy wants a Duncan (cyber skull) painted up in some of my favorite colors so that will be fun! Then comes Xenachu, I need to paint two of them soon and make a football piece for someone. I let the printer rest for the day. Will be back to printing again first thing in the AM. I might try to paint a little more tonight if I can manage to stay awake.
Medically nothings really changed. Took a couple falls and burned myself though. First fall, cut my finger decent. A little super glue, all fixed up. Was kind of deep but seems fine now. That was a day and a half ago I think. Today I fell trying to step up on the deck and took a hard fall. Messed up my leg. Scraped up, swollen, a tiny bit of blood and it’s gonna bruise I’m sure. Then while tossing sticks on the fire, the door came shut a little and when I turned I caught my finger on the hot door. Iced it and put on cream. Feeling better, no blister yet. It hurt like hell but I don’t always feel pain correctly. Sometimes the smallest things hurt so bad I want to cry. Speaking of my back has been killing me, my legs and arms hurting, my hands very rigid and my tremors have been extra bad. Don’t know what’s causing it but I dislike it… time to talk to the docs again.
So this is amaizng! A friend decided they were going to empty my Amazon list which was insanely kind, plus they added a bunch of healthy food snacks! I have not had a chance to take inventory to see if I’m actually in need of anything on Amazon currently. I will do so and update my list tomorrow. I do need a couple things but want to ask suggestions. I’ll make some posts on Facebook. Other then that still slow on the monetary donations side. I can’t get some things off Amazon so that can get a little stressful. I just do my best and that’s all I can do!
Well, I’m again tired so going to call it a night. Think it’s time to head for bed and regroup in the morning. Gotta get busy painting first thing in the AM because I have appointments tomorrow. Kind of not looking forward to the appointments, would rather just paint, lol.
So for now my friends, have a good evening. Be well and thank you for reading. I appreciate you joining my on my journey even if it is a little boring sometimes. I know I’m forgetting something but I’ll remember it by the next blog. Until then, much love my friends!
