See, I can Make Progress When I Really Need To

Things have settled down quite a bit. I'm making use of the free time I have during the day before my wife and daughter get home. I enjoy spending time with them, but I have things that have to get done if I'm going to climb the art mountain again. I've motivated myself to get the clutter put away in my studio over the past two days. I've also done quite a bit to get my name and my artwork out to the world. I've set up a new Google business account, linked it to Google Apps, linked my apps account to the Thunderbird email program I installed on my computer ( in case you haven't heard, I only use Linux distro and software on my computers. They all work just as well for me as the pricey Microsoft versions and they're free.) It took some doing to get everything linked, but I think it was worth it. I also have Hootsuite and TweetDeck running on my computers, to keep me up to date on the Twitterverse and Facebook Land. I have music pumping through my speakers, I have room to sit in front of my easel (in my new painting chair from the thrift store), I know where my canvases and my paints are, and all my reference material is in one convenient spot. I'm posting on here because it's been a while and I need to do this regularly, but as soon as I post this I'm going to grab a brush and get lost in creativity.
