Folks help your neighbors who are food insecure or donate to a pantry. Money is always welcome for pantries because they get good deals buying in bulk. Most of all get angry and let all your elected representatives know you’re angry. No one should be going hungry!

I’m stuck in this sling until the 3rd of November so the pacemaker implanted near my shoulder heals completely. There’s no way I can work at my easel until I’m out of the splint.

Dear Whitehouse,
We’re on to your bullshit here on Bluesky so fuck off.

The fatigue turned out to be my heart after all and today I had a pacemaker put in. I can already breathe much better and am looking forward to increased energy.

My art at my local library….i had hoped to get 2 more done but the heart failure is hard to manage right now.

What happened to this guy reminded me of these two concepts from ancient Greek myth . Hubris and nemesis.

I don’t know how much of this fatigue is from sleeping poorly or a symptom of the heart failure. Probably a little of both. I’m up against a deadline to finish this portrait of Dolly so I’ve been working on it while not sleeping. The laundry needs doing this morning too.

I’m not sure if I’m going to tackle her eyelashes today. Cutting and gluing those little pieces of paper is a pain.

Now that I’ve taken in the heart failure diagnosis, had valve surgery ruled out for now and have meds adjusted I’m back at my easel. I need to have all my pieces done by 22 September for October show.

Totals total progress.

This piece (and hopefully the Freddy Mercury piece) need to be done by September 22nd. This congestive heart failure has slowed me down. The good news is I found a seller on eBay who has fabulous ephemera for various artists.

The eyes are labor intensive but a good place to start working on the face.

Did a little work on Dolly but then my blood pressure dropped enough for me to just be off.
August 8, 2025 at 3:47 PM
I’m finally feeling well enough to get back to my easel.

Managing congestive heart failure, even in the early stages isn’t easy. I got the b/p up where it needed to be with a medication adjustment then it dropped again yesterday and today. It hasn’t been falling down and hitting my head on the door frame low again but it is unsteady on my feet low.

Before I varnish, Amy photo in bottom right or not?

My air conditioning is fixed. I’ll take the portable unit out of the window in a little while. I got a little dirt therapy by in this morning and now I’ll get a coat of varnish on the Amy Winehouse portrait. Tomorrow I’ll start Dolly. All is well in my world thus far.
July 25, 2025 at 3:30 PM
I spent another night in the hospital. This heart failure is very early on and we just need to get the medication adjusted. Tomorrow I’m going to attempt to get back to my easel.
July 25, 2025 at 3:38 AM
Got Freddy Mercury on canvas.
July 23, 2025 at 11:44 PM
Dolly’s on canvas.
July 22, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Amy Winehouse is done.
