Unexpectedly, I can sleep late tomorrow. I am staying up late to play on the forum and work on a project. If my back can keep up this pace, in just three weeks I will have a designated place for painting. If I am lucky, a myriad of art supplies shops will materialize between now and then, and I will have those items, too. Am I lucky? Probably not... but I am resourceful and can support the amateur art efforts.
