Nearly September

wow.... time has flown. i've been single for 1.5 yrs or so.. give or take. it took me a good year to get over that break up. i lost weight. began yoga, started eating better, swimming more, riding my bike more. seeing more doctors. having all kinds of routine visits and procedures. i had surgery on my knee last march. i'm still limping around. going for another MRI this afternoon. my friend rita has been cooking a lot of indian food for me. it has given me much inspiration to experiment with those spices and have been cooking my own versions of curries.. loaded with healthy poached protein and veggies. my father died last year. a doctor gave him too much radiation and burned all of his organs. he suffered a painful death. i've spoken to my aunt norma who said that my dad came to visit her one night in her dreams. my mother said my father comes to visit her all the time. he's never come to visit me. that i can recall. i'm sure i would remember it.

my aunt virginia broke her leg above her knee in may. she's been in a hospital ever since. i go visit her from time to time, and stop at a latin bodega and bring cuban goodies for us to eat together. it's a nice time for both of us.

i began living and working as a professional artist this year. i began selling my work. currently i'm in 3 retail establishments. this is a very good thing. i'm living the life i've always dreamt of living... not in the capacity i had envisioned, but good, just the same.

i think i will continue to work this blog.
i am sure it will go unnoticed by many.. and i can grow here.
