Artistic Inspiration and Fatigue


It's been a rough several months for me. I went to Upstate NY in June and did an art opening with Kendall McKernon and the McKernon Gallery, and on the last day, I dealt with a dental issue. A molar (number 2) had a horizontal fracture and was awaiting extraction by an oral surgeon after I got back from NY. The last night of my visit, I was out at dinner, and the top part of the tooth, without the roots, broke off.


Long story short, I got home and ended up with COVID, which delayed the extraction. The tooth got pulled, and I had a complication called "dry socket." I just can't get my energy back or artistic mojo. There is not a lot of inspiration and I'm so tired.


Well, I came home and had a sleep study that was scheduled because my sleep was horrible. I ended up with sleep apnea (I don't know how severe yet, but I left the sleep study very sleep-deprived, nauseous, and, like clockwork, vomited.) So, I have some form of sleep apnea that requires the use of a PAP machine. New challenges. More medical stuff and baggage. I won't give up though!


Art inspiration and synesthesia have been quiet. Quiet. I'm so tired. I'm hoping the addition of PAP therapy puts me back on track. So tired. I'm thinking COVID-related.
