Oh man! I can finally relax and be comfortable now. No more crazyness in the head!
Lets see. I’ll will start with my biggest decision/stress-point… I’ve decided to stay in St. Louis. Yes. I know its a big deal. And a decision that I am completely happy with and glad I finally made. Instead of moving to Chicago to open and start an Artist Residency Program, I was clearly overlooking the potential in my own back yard. Here in St. Louis. For one, things are still fairly inexpensive here. Secondly, it would be more beneficial to the art scene here. Thirdly, I am fairly well connected here in St. Louis. All in all it would be much easier for me to get it started here and be more beneficial here. And I really want to help out emerging artists, provide them with the things that made it difficult for me as an artist to work.
Then there was the stress of my mom’s surgery. I knew it would be fine. Everyones else said it would be fine. But for some reason I was really freaked out about it. I guess its because she is getting older and having surgery. I don’t know. Its just scary. Thats my mom. Shes about all I got. Just scared is all. But its over and she is doing great. So stress is gone.
I got the raise I asked for at work so I will be staying on at the museum. Thats also a big stress maker gone. Thank god!!! what a relief! I was really stressed about that.
AND! I have a new lady friend, my girlfriend actually. She is amazing and I have had the biggest crush on her for like forever! AND she has had a big crush on me for like forever and she thinks I’m hot! Which is crazy! But I’m not going to question it. Man she is great. I couldn’t be happier or have asked for a nicer, sweeter girl!
Thats all. Now the only thing I have to stress out about it starting this Residency Program. Which I am planning on doing over the next 4 – 5 years so I will be stressed out for the next 4 or 5 years. At least I will know what I am stressing about and won’t have anything else to worry about!
Yay!
