Jury Day and a Sink Falls off the Bathroom Wall in the Cottage

By Julia on Thursday, May 29th, 2014 | No Comments

I was awakened at 7:10 am on the morning of the Festival Jury with a phone call from my cottage tenant. She told me the sink had fallen off the wall in the bathroom. My first question was “Is there water spewing?” “No,” she said. That was good news. And next I said in jest, […]

A Long Day of Getting Ready for the Art Festival Jury Session

By Julia on Thursday, May 29th, 2014 | No Comments

Monday was a holiday for many people, but I spent it getting things done for the Art Festival jury session on Wednesday. This post crosses over a bit with one before where I talk about what I did on Tuesday, the day after the Holiday Monday. I discovered that I didn’t have PowerPoints for all […]

Working at Commowheel and In the Garden with Stressed Shoulder

After a night’s sleep, I woke up pretty stiff. Allowed myself to sleep in a bit later than normal. I was scheduled to work the afternoon shift at the Commonwheel Artists Co-op for pay for another member, so did have to get moving. My shoulder was pretty sore, but could have been much worse if […]

Five days of craziness and some fun since my last post. My stress level is very high, my body is in pain, but getting things done and enjoyed some time off with my tenant and her friends on Monday. Yesterday, I emailed the person who was suppose to be getting an insurance quote for the […]

Water Leak and Racoon Challenges

By Julia on Thursday, May 22nd, 2014 | No Comments

On Saturday, when the Festival applications were dropped off, I also had to redo the Excel a bit for the jurying of the images. I realized we had way fewer applications than in the past. Not even enough to fill the park! This was a very stressful realization. At least when we looked at the […]

And the Challenges Just Keep Coming

Can’t believe I haven’t posted since the 13th of May! My hiking friend and I had discussed doing a hike and then going to the hot springs on Wednesday, but that didn’t’ happen. I wasn’t ready to expose the rash on my leg to water shared by lots of people and neither of us sounded […]

A Blue Heron Made My Day Tolerable By Adding Unexpected Beauty

By Julia on Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 | No Comments

This has been a very challenging day. First, my Healing Circle actually got me a bit angry rather than taking a step towards healing. She spoke of a way of seeing the World in a way I find very difficult to embrace. And it just doesn’t resonate with me at all. So I won’t be […]

Mother Nature’s Snow on Mother’s Day in Colorado

By Julia on Monday, May 12th, 2014 | No Comments

Last year we had a snowstorm on May Day. This year it was a bit later on Mother’s Day. The day started out grey and then some big fat flakes began to fall. As the day wore on everything was covered in a wet blanket of snow. Sort of throwing a “wet blanket” on many […]

Weather and Health Challenges Have Put Me In A Funk

By Julia on Saturday, May 10th, 2014 | No Comments

Since returning from the Creative Industries Summit in Salida, I have been dealing with some challenges. My body has not felt very good the last week or more. Exhaustion was the first challenge. Then I realized I was experiencing neck pain like I hadn’t felt in years. I determined my head was off its axis […]

FantaFaces Mask Shipping Saga Continued

By Julia on Thursday, May 8th, 2014 | No Comments

After the Creative Industries Summit, I came home feeling totally exhausted. I know I have been handling more things than my norm, and I haven’t gotten the down time from the Art Festival that usually happens in the winter months, so I guess it should have been anticipated that I would wear out one of […]
