Well I've been sort of in an insomniac mood lately. No matter how hard I try I just can't fall asleep at a decent time, so here I am still awake at 6:30 in the morning typing this up fir you.

Anyhow, I just want to let you know that I'm sorry that I haven't been on DA much (at least regularly anyway) lately. It's my usual excuse to say that I've been busy. First off, last week was a complete fiasco; I wasn't able to complete much when it came to personal projects because I've been so engrossed with the helping of remolding the entire kitchen and I also had to help out with the rewiring of our garage and basement, and with this insomnia, I always feel drained of extra energy to be productive, same when it comes to drawing or sculpting some sort of art. I've been busy here and there with a few things, but with the lack of energy, I've been dragging my heals through just about everything. I've been trying to improve upon my human anatomy here and there, but I feel like sleeping instead of drawing every time I go to pick up a pencil. I was actively working on a few of my personal carpentry projects up until my saber saw motor burned up (black and deckers are pieces of shit tools). I was in the middle building a new round shield (still haven't shown you my old one yet), and I was attempting to build a recurved bow and some stone tipped arrows to go with it, but like I said I don't have a working saw so it's next to impossible to finish these projects in a timely manner at the moment without any working power tools. Hopefully I will have found myself a decent saw that won't break the bank by next week.

Some quick stuff that's come up; well I finished my mig 1 welding class (hopefully I've passed), I've got 1 more day of hydraulics and pneumatics class to go to; we've got finals, so class ends on the 23rd. My parents left to go on a week long vacation to Florida early yesterday morning and my mom will be flying over to DC shortly there after.  Last Sunday my younger sister moved back in with us from Missouri, her and my older sister weren't getting along too well; so last Monday I left to go help her pack up the last of her stuff and bring it back over to Nebraska. Despite the 3 way altercation between my 2 sisters and I that took place about 6 or 7 months ago, everything has been going fine between my younger sister and I, so far none of the old wounds have opened back up between the 2 of us; which is a good thing, since we're living in tight quarters again. My sister and I have set a goal to become vegans with a strict vegan diet to follow, (and its not to save the animals) we're looking to hopefully better ourselves by loosing some extra weight so that we can do some of the things that we've always wanted without having to be too self conscious, unfortunately fir me, my sister already got an 8 month head start on her war of weight loss, we'll also be visiting the gym a lot more regularly than what we do. Once we're all done with this crazy dieting, we'll hopefully be back to eating more normal yet healthier food.

Lastly I forgot to tell you, I'm scheduled to go into surgery this Thursday on the 24th. I'll probably be offline fir a little wile longer even after the surgery on the account that I'll be under anesthetics and probably a lot of pain that the doctors say might last between 7 to 10 days; so I'm not really looking forward to this, but I got to do what I got to do. Wish me luck or pray, it doesn't make any difference to me.

I got to go try to get some sleep, so peace out mai peeps!
