T + 60 days

I'm going to look at this as an anniversary.

It's definitely a change of phase, to use an engineering term. I've gone from having pain I'd never experienced before to, now, a simple feeling of fatigue, though a strong one.

I'll take it

I say that just to frame my thoughts, because 8 weeks from surgery, I am working out, have moe progress in some areas than expected, on target in the others, and still cooking like I mean it. I started going more organic, partially based on some of the foods my brother bought for me while he was here. I even thought briefly about raw foods. I just decided I would need more kitchen to get that serious. But I did think it...

I've been a little too fatigued to really make art, but I always seem to have projects; I suddenly realized it's time to build the outdoor studio, if I expect to use it this summer. So, at least I've got goals...

Right now it feels like I get about 8 great hours a day; as I said before; I think that's awesome. I have no idea where most people are at this phase, but I am aware that there is a lot of discussion about Cancer Related Fatigue...

Back to art. I have managed to get two sculptures to a pretty advanced state. I need to get one of them ready to go to the foundry (Soliloquy II), and another unfinished bizness type piece needs to have molds taken before I move to the next phase. For some reason, tired for me means I can't seem to drag my ass over to the camera to load the images, so I'll hitcha back...

I've also been working on a painting; got it to that '2 hours left' stage I feel I'm becoming famous for, in my own mind. I may have posted on it. It's in the Ohio State footballers series. Most of these only have tenuous names, and this belongs to that category. Right now, it's Tone.

Back to healing. In summary, healing seems like it takes your full attention sometimes. I've managed to pull that off, with the gracious assistance of The Many. So, I am grateful. We are grateful. And, it ain't even CLOSE to being over.
