Nails cut, Ready to Climb.

Nothing kills the mood more than toe nail bed pain from climbing shoes pushing your nails in, or shattering a brittle finger nail up on the wall and having the jagged crack stretch down into the quick. Ouch. Oof. Not my idea of a fun morning spent in a harness on the walls at The Hub. So a good dose of flexibility will get those pesky nails taken care of, and making my climbing session that much more fun.

A sunny, but cold Saturday morning has arrived! Praise the Lord we made it through yet another week of mayhem. Luckily the snowfall we did get yesterday was light. I do not know what it will hold for today, that still remains to be seen. Hopefully it doesn’t come down as a horrific two foot blanket of snow while we are all the way across Markham later on this morning. If it’s going to storm I hope it can wait until we get home, safe & sound before the shit hits the proverbial fan. Am I right?

In other news I put the gesso I bought to good use, I now have seven prepped canvases ready to rock and roll, with at least three more that I am ok with priming over, and reusing for something new. I’m very happy that I can reuse some old items from around my office. Fifteen dollars worth of gesso has saved me multiple hundreds of dollars worth of new canvas purchases. That’s good quality thinking right there. Now I just have to find some subjects to commit to canvas over the coming year(s).

Here comes the hard part, what am I interested in enough to spend hours painting – for fun? The good thing is, I have the time to choose, and I can pick just about anything under the sun. Wish me luck!
