Many members of my family celebrated their birthdays this month. My nephew Stefan (pictured top left) turned 11 this month! Also aging another year is my dear brother Kurt (pictured top right with his daughter Gracie). Good old daddy (pictured bottom left in one of his better moments) turned 69. And my sister Kerry (pictured bottom right) is still 30-something, thank you very much.
I got a brand new Mac Pro. I'm still a little tender from the big hard drive crash of 2009, but perhaps if I draw pictures of hearts around the both of us, I'll be able to fall in love again. When I've brought home computers in the past, I've always gotten such a thrill, but now I'm... meh. Just glad to have a machine that works and lets me work.
I sold a painting of a bridge... It's been with me for a very long time. Sad to see it go!
It's month 5 of cutting down my smoking habit. In January, I smoked a cigarette every 30 minutes. Now I'm down to one every 2 hours. I'm constantly agitated. I think I will remember 2010 for this feeling.
Also this month, my good brother (mentioned above) was diagnosed with cancer. He has an excllent chance of beating it, but he'll have an entire summer of chemo and radiation. Poor poor guy. When I think about it it maks me feel sick - I think I will remember 2010 for this feeling.
