I’m writing this blog post a bit earlier in the afternoon today because as soon as I’m done, I’m outta here. I’ve been taking nights off for the past month or so because I’ve been pretty burnt out from overworking. I think I’m going to continue this routine for a while until I’m fully recharged. 

Of course, given my situation, it’s hard to recharge fully. Keep in mind, I’m a light sleeper. I live with one snoring husband, 3 playful cats, and one old dog with restless leg syndrome. He scratches the floor ALL night. Sleep is next to impossible. I finally got to sleep around 12:30 last night, and woke up to Harold pouncing on my head this morning. It was 4am. If I told you how often this happens every week, you probably wouldn’t believe me. I’ll just say that I sleep with the pillow on my head for a reason. 

How do you stop a cat’s bad behavior? (If you know, please advise what to do about Maude using the floor as a toilet, also. I have tried EVERYTHING!!!) He’s like clockwork every morning. I don’t reward (or punish) him in any way, so I don’t know what he’s getting out of it. Perhaps it’s just habit at this point? Maybe he thinks it’s his job. Uh oh..time to wake Mom. PLOP! haha 

I was in the studio by 4:30am, coffee brewed, and ready to go. One painting always leads to another, and another. It also leads to a long day, and a tired me. I’m having a hard time holding my head up, so I’m done for the day. See you tomorrow, when I’ll do it all over again.
