What's up?
8 years ago
Been a while, hasn't it? Still lurking about, trying to keep my account from being overrun with journal entries and pictures and such. Also parsing down my watch list a notch by getting rid of all the Islamaphobes and other such racists that seemed to have collected there. It's kinda like maintaining a garden; ya gotta keep up with your weeding otherwise it'll get overgrown, you know? Then it takes twice as long to get back under control.
Michi's now up to nearly 28 weeks (a little over 6 months) into the pregnancy gig and GROWING! She has a small build to begin with, so this just makes her belly and boobs look even bigger than they otherwise would with someone of more average height. Interestingly enough, I seem to have developed a rather passing interest in pregnancy pics here, no doubt in the same manner as those who work for a car dealership takes an increased notice in the make they sell, or someone who works for an office equipment dealer takes an increased notice in the copiers and printers they see. We just had an appointment with the OB today and things are coming along just fine. And thanks to our friend-family, our pending baby needs like furniture, clothing and the like - the godmother is even offering to deck out the nursery! - are coming along just fine as well.
Speaking of of autos, the Old Man And The Gun movie shoot with Betty didn't pan out, but I'm determined to get her fully restored and looking new before the baby comes. I have a network of car show pals who would be able to recommend someone, but getting together with those guys isn't nearly as it was in 2013 when we were probably at our most active, and so nailing a meeting time with that bodywork guy remains elusive. Instead, I'm thinking of joining the Buick Club of America and see if I can't build a whole new network of possible leads and friends that way.
Art-wise, I'm still trying to get back to my drawing table, and I'm hoping to actually do so this weekend if my stars align. Two things remain keeping me away: my job as a career wage slave for Corporate America (you spend most of your waking hours at work, if you work full time), and cleaning. I'm pretty much the one responsible for cleaning the house anyway (which takes up precious time on the weekends), and as Michi gets bigger with baby and tires out more easily, I have to step up and take over more and more of the house duties, which in turn means even less time devoted to drawing. Savvy? But worry not - the intention is definitely there.
Until next time! :)
