I still don’t like that right boot and need to tweak it some more but I finished painting the left leg. Tomorrow I will do the right leg and fix the boot. It took me nearly an hour and a half to get that one side done. I am still on track to finish painting this by the end of February though. My initial goal was April but now I want to be done to submit to the March gallery showing.
Tomorrow I will try to work without Ritalin because I need to take a break from it so I don’t build up a tolerance and it stops working. I am unable to go any higher on the dose without bad side effects. So far it’s been really helpful so I want to keep taking it about 4-5 times a week.
A winter storm is coming in on Monday so we are going shopping Sunday to prepare for it. I really hope it isn’t too icy because I love snow but hate ice. Ice isn’t fun to play in and causes power outages when trees fall on the power lines.
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
I’m really afraid of getting a job but with the cost of living always going up and the mortgage being what it is, I am forced to find something. It’s been nearly 20 years since I last worked so I am really nervous about it. For about half that time I was too ill to work, but I don’t feel I can use that as an excuse any longer. It was psychosis that prevented me from getting a job, but the psychosis has been under control for a long time now.
