I've been terribly busy laying the ground work in the yard for my wife's sod experiment over the last month. Also I've had a change in shifts at work making art for the Storyboards slow to a crawl. Graveyard usually allowed me time to draw from 2:00 am to 5:00, since I am pretty much alone. I now work the evenings... so opportunity to draw has been cut short. I want to keep a professional appearance for my employers especially since I am now a point man dealing with the public during this shift. Time to draw has been nixed, especially at my own home till this bloody backyard is finished.

Basically I am up at 5:30 am digging and pulling vegetation that frankly does not want to be parted from the dirt it has so lovingly infested. This frantic dance between me, a pick axe, and shovel happens till the temperature reaches African-Safari HOT. By then I'm ready to call it a day. I'll crawl inside looking like some poor Virginia coal miner punching his shift card at the mine only to find my son ready for chow and a day's adventure. All I want is a shower and my bed.

So basically I'm screwed for a while when it comes to the blog, Twitter, and my Portfolio work. Sod should be in this next week and I can have this nightmare honey-do list behind me till the next one crops up. I need a road trip to the coast. I need to see the ocean again.

Sigh.
