The Recurring Slumber Complexity

Greetings. Going to make this one short and sweet. Very exhausted. Last week my brother Andy and I took our little ones on a little walk to the beach followed by lunch. It was a beautiful day. Mia loved walking the beach, and throwing stones in the water. Saturday, her other grandparents from Illinois came in to visit. Walked the farmer's market, found some great foods and got trapped in a lovely thunderstorm. "DADDY IT'S RAINING WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!" Poor girl. Today, I wanted to do something fun. After a visit by Grandma at work and Grandpa later, we tried to go to the Trampoline park (Helium). I swear, EVERY time we get on the freeway, she's out like a light. She didn't sleep real well the night before, and woke up today earlier then she'd prefer. Sorta moody, sadly. After her nice nap, she was mostly fine. We went on a good walk with our good pal, Remi. Later, Jill came home and we had dinner and watched the last episode of Masterchef.

So I was avoiding discussing this the last few weeks, but thought "eh what the hell" so here's what I've been working hard on. My good friend had recommended me to her friend who works/owns a company that designs neon beer signs for companies big and small. I rebuilt my resume, put together my website and got a few sample ideas of some beer signs submitted. Well, it looks like I'm on file. That's about it. They are too busy to train me with LED lights so they may contact me in the near or far future. Honestly, I'm pretty bummed, but this could still lead to something. The good thing with this, is that the last few weeks, it got me to kick my self directly in the bum to get my website complete, update my resume and work in Illustrator again. There could be other jobs on the horizon, but this experience was strangely, a good one despite it not
going the way I was hoping. Today, I felt completely relaxed working on this Mia portrait. It's taking some time, but it's coming out beautifully.
As much as I'd love to keep typing, I really should hit the bed. Thanks for reading!
