Well, big chapter on my life closed last week...no more school...EVA in my household.  My wife successfully graduated and has begun training at her new gig...  It's a bit of an adjustment, having the wife back, and a second income coming in...but I like it.  Hopefully everything works out for the best, I know we are very fortunate and blessed with what we have.

Now comes the next step, getting back in shape   Now, for those of you who are looking for a way to get in shape but all of your exercise equipment has been converted into clothehangers, I strongly suggest you go get a Gazelle...Tony Little is a complete boob, and I think he had something to do with inventing the baseball cap with a pony tail attached to it, but I can't argue with the results.  The last time I was faithful and disciplined, I lost about 30 pounds by using it and going to a less-shit diet.  Hopefully a similar goal can be achieved this time around.  I find it works great for me, because thanks to wear and tear from cross country running, I have two lousy knees, and thanks to years of pow wow dancing (didn't see that one did you?), I have a herniated disc, and the Gazelle suspends me in the air so I have no shock impact on my spine or additional strain on my knees...but I'm still able to run like I used to.  I put the headphones on, close my eyes and I feel like I'm 18 again.

The whole thing is trying to get prepped for eventual expansion of the family, something now we can do, but I want to do a reduction in the waistline first.

Where does this leave me and my drawing?  I don't see anything changing immediately, although I have been saying for a few months now that once I hit the 100k mark, I'd probably take a break and FINALLY release that fic I've been teasing for the last couple of years...I'm about 7,000 away from that mark...enough worth a few more submissions I'm sure.  And seeing my wife has an hour and a half drive to do, I've got plenty of time to sneak in work in my spare time...I think I've finally figured out what I want to do with the honeymoon...get that out and then work on some other pics which have been buzzing in my head.

Anyhoo, that's it for now,  new stuff coming soon.
