Brief Update

I just got the shipment confirmation for my order to paint for my Santa Clause. I am actually excited about this. It should be fun to paint even though it is larger than what I normally paint.

The new From Empire to Revolution book did rather well over the weekend. Hopefully it will sell a few more copies before becoming old news.

I have not had the energy to paint a thing. My blood pressure is getting wonky again since I started loosing some weight. Hopefully the doc has me straightened out with some new meds.

    Chris, I wish you best of luck with both your book and health! I would think losing weight would bring your BP down and improve your condition. It is tough when there is not even enough energy to paint. I know how that is since I recently battled pneumonia. Being too sick to paint is intolerable!

      It did bring my BP down. Just too much. Had dizzy spells and such. I have to step down the BP meds along with the weight. Its all good in the long run. If I loose enough, no need for BP meds at all.

    Get well!
    Blood pressure - nasty stuff. I, took, this summer fell into the hands of doctors. But changed jobs to a more relaxed (threw teaching at the university and went to the plant engineer :-)

    Hi Chris;
    Hope you feel better soon. Though weight loss can have side effects, as you are unfortunately discovering, the up side is far preferable to not losing weight. Hope your painting mojo returns soon.

      Thanks. I think it will. All things in their own time.
