I decided to start this post in the morning. Plus some place in the world it already 2026. As for the political arena I hope it's better always around. We here in the United States has our mid-term. Maybe Maga will loose the majority. As many of us know. If Trump don't get his way. He will toss a tizzy.
The last thing I did was putting on was my shoes. I thought it would and interesting shot, for WORDLESS WEDNESDAY. After the shoes, got on my feet. I went down and ride the stationary bike. On so called odd days, like today. It seems like reasonable goal. Is to ride that 3 times a day. But for some reason I only do it once day.
Yesterday it was my brother in law, Earl Birthday. He just turn 65. And he has congestive heart failure. I don't want to be to hard on him. But he lived a hard life. Smoking and drinking. Now it caught up with him. I'm far from a saint, and not big time sinner. Simple we're all human.
I been doing some research on paper to use with alcohol makers. I have good amount of them. Even I use heavier paper to do my art on. But I have issue of soaking though when I use alcohol markers. Found out there paper just made for alcohol markers.
I was wondering if art with Greta. If we were going to new years goals and such in our art journal. Plus a word of the year. She said yes. But she doesn't give out details on what we're doing. For me that's fine. I do better. With less thinking on it.
One of my art journal is getting close to be filled. This is what I will be getting, ART JOURNAL Usually I split them with my friend Lolita. But she wants a heavier paper. The company I get my art journal though, does offer a heavier PAPER. I'm just not a fan of spiral note books.
Let just wrap up with my morning temps. I'm lazy and I'm going to have chat-gpt give me the numbers.

ReplyDeleteHappy new year.
ReplyDeleteI hope your brother in law is healthy and well. Smoking is something that silly young men do with all their mates, but they pay a price in middle age and later :(
ReplyDeleteMy youngest brother passed away last week, and I am acutely aware of men in their 60s who smoked. It is not a happy time in my place.
...Dora, I wish us all well in the New Year except for Donny.
ReplyDeleteI don't like spiral notebooks, either. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYour average temperature is just above freezing...no thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from all of us!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Dora! Hope your brother in law wakes up this year and do something good for his health...he is still very young!
ReplyDeleteRiding once a day is better than not riding at all. I don't like spiral notebooks either. I bought some markers that are "guaranteed not to bleed through paper." We'll see.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMay 2026 bring a much needed change.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your alcohol ink art. I am not a fan of spiral not books either. I found some great journals at Jo Anne's fabric. Is there still one there? The were very inexpensive too. I'm thrilled that you have take to NC so beautifully. Wishing you and your family the very best for 2026.
ReplyDeleteI wish you only the best for 2026, Peppy. You deserve it!
