Lets see, where do we go to.
The house, in the yard got rid of all the dead hedges and now going to start cutting down some of the hedges in the back yard. There are some over grown ones that have been mixed in with thorny vines and poison oak. This is all near the shed so I can get rid of the vegetation around it and its a good thing.
Still need to paint the fence and groom the front of the yard. Since I have been here for 6 years now I figure I should decorate the yard a bit. Bought a tomato plant and put in the front yard. There is a spot that gets good sun all day and is close to the water. Plan on getting some more plants for a square foot garden that I am working on.
Inside I bought a couple of little plants to add some color to the house. Got 6 panels of heat reduction curtains and they do work. The living room is nice and dark and the bedroom is darker and cooler than it has been before. Still need some more curtains and going to get that insulation panels. Two for two of the windows that will be covered over and another to be cut into a cover that sits over the ladder that goes into the attic. All of that should help keep my house temp down. Should keep it around 79-80 this year vs the 85 from last year and the year before.
Cleaning up around the house since I lost one couch. figuring out what I will add to the walls and what furniture I will need to get eventually. Just want the house to look nice so I can invite people over.
Work is changing up a bit. We are getting a flat bed printer, CAD router table and a die cutting machine. Might be getting a Film maker for out high res flexo printing.
All of this gear is going to open up options for new products and better made products. On top of that I will have some help getting the art proofed out which will leave me more time to work with the new machines and film processing.
After being sick as I was, it took me a long time to get back into exercising. Now I am walking. Going for one hour on the trdmill which gets me 2.7 miles. In about three weeks there is a 5K walk in town with a 10K run. I am going to register for the walk. Really need to loose weight now. we are at the point of damage. sitting hurts my legs and laying down is limited. I do not want to order a fat man computer chair. Going to start out with walking and get my stamina back up.
Working on art. Taking my commissions seriously now. working on them now like I work on art at my job. Going to try and stay in communication and to work on the pieces as they come in. We will see if I can keep up the effort.
