Such a relief to be working again, even if it's only part time right now (guaranteed full time by late October-early November). I've been unemployed a lot over the past year... I live in Michigan (known for its unemployment), but I also live in the county with the highest unemployment rate in the state. Ack.
I'm working back at the ski & golf resort where I was this past winter, but instead of an entry-level position, I'm now Night Auditor - run the front desk of the hotel (3rd shift), do lots of data entry, and add up the time cards for everyone there every other Saturday.
I love working out in the woods, in the middle of nowhere. The drunk bridal parties aren't much fun (what we have most of at this time of year), but the golfers and business conferences that stay there are pretty nice. It's also nice working by myself all night... I dim the lights, put on nice, quiet music, sip a little coffee, tea, or pop. I've been bringing in my own 22" flat-panel monitor to replace their ancient 15", but I think I have the boss convinced to buy one now.
Still struggling with my 84 year old dad and his growing dementia. He's on the long slide down to nowhere... well, death, eventually. It's frustrating, but you can only take it 1 day at a time.
That's all for now. Be well, make good art. Give each other llamas.
Beware of bouncing fireballs.

Wishing You a Very Happy Thursday
Weather's been SO nice (mid-70s F), but the next two days are supposed to be 90°F. ACK!! I don't do well in heat.
The title of this entry is a quote from Winnie the Pooh, who constantly reminds us to take notice and be thankful of the little things in life.
SO many nice people I've found whilst randomly browsing here! A few not-so-nice, but that's par for the course. They're the exception, not the rule. I LOVE the creativity I see in others, it inspires me. SO many different venues of art! Though I'm a bit indifferent to dolls. ;)
It's a common understanding that most artists create out of their own inner pain. EVERYONE has s

Oy. My dad is 84, and dementia has been growing slowly this past year. We have to reassure him daily that he does, indeed, live in this house (for almost 40 years now). Some nights he collects things together, and announces that he's "going home." Sorry, this IS home.
My mom's 71, and it's especially hard on her. She's in FINE shape mentally and physically. Hard to watch this. Eventually we'll have to put him in a nursing home, particularly when he no longer knows who we are.
Millions of people have already gone through this with family members, and millions more will eventually. It's always hard when it's personal.
Be well.

Saturday - Caturday - End of April
Getting ready to go to a funeral. No one close to me personally - my brother's grandfather-in-law.
Never knew my own grandfathers... both dead long before I was born. One great-grandpa lasted long enough to hold me as an infant, but was gone before my first birthday. That leaves a bigger hole in a boy's life than you might imagine.
I'm the oldest, so there were no big brothers to show me the way, how to be a man. My own father's wrapped up in his own issues to the point of not exactly being there, either. (Even still, at 84). So I never was properly socialized... he did and does live like a hermit. No friends. No close relatives to
