Patiently (and slowly) bringing my idea to life. Thing is, my gosh I need *some* sleep! Will try once more and then dive back into it all.
Insane, but a nice kind of insane. Ever experience that kind of love/hate with a project?

Good morning! How is that non-existent rising and shining coming along? Unfortunately last night, my server sought the Titanic so I couldn't share my update. Suffice it to say that by 1am, my mind started herding unicorns (aka, time to take a break!).

One thing I adore about AI Art is how a single past image can yank me right back in time. I look at it and instantly remember what puzzle I was battling, or what tiny happy surprise unexpectedly popped out of the digital universe 'way over from left field... like this.

[ Pro-Winning Tip ] Your phone has an alarm which is excellent for waking you up so you don't miss that YouTube Live!
It also has the ability for you to turn OFF the sound so you don't hear your alarm. Sigh.
Always remember to Keep the Sound On for Phone Alarms.

Today... it's hard. Spent 3 hours staring at my screen trying to "restart" my creativity from a different time. Anyone else feel like their best ideas show up at the worst times?

FACT: The coffee I brew puts hair on your chest. Good stuff! (We have the technonlogy - we can rebuild her!) That was my entire day in a chestnut shell (Yes, I found the stash!)
May your day have treated you well, and did NOT involve any slow-moving tornados carrying their security coffee cup.

Ever wake up right before tomorrow shows up and realize you neglected to hit "Post" for your T-X next launch announcement?

Good morning Creators! What's your fav way of keeping track of deliverables? My short-term memory is non-existent which often throws 56 wrenches into life.
Anywhos, submitting my latest to Muncheye and adding kittens to the launch (doesn't everyone?) :) Hope your day shines!

As expected, that rarely seen entity called 'sleep' totally escaped from anywhere within a 72 mile radius of me. Oh well. Brekkie calls!
What's your fav? Today, I'm making savory oatmeal. Mainly because a.) I really like it and b.) I make it *every* day. Mooses like it too!

Never be afraid to try things that gurus think might be ridiculous.
Like adding cinnamon flavors to your coffee.
And then some cola flavor.
And then chili-peppers.
You heard it here first.
