More Nocturnal Struggles

Sun sun go away

Come again another day

I need to go to bed but it is so bright and sunny outside!

Nocturnal Problems

As a "night person" I am having a difficult time being productive with my painting. I like to paint at night when it is dark out, but lately it has been sunny all day up through dusk, which is around 9:30pm. Because of my weekday work schedule, I  find myself feeling tired and ready for bed around 10pm. So tonight I will challenge myself to stay up super late. 

Hopefully the dirty Dalmation will help.

It's a dirty Dalmation kind of day...

Spider

Hi Friends. It has been a while!

Have a new Pacific Northwest experience to report on...

I was bitten by a hobo spider on my arm. The hobo spider is like the PNW equivalent of a brown recluse, except it is less deadly. I'm not positive it was a hobo, but it looked similar to photos I found. 

After 8 days I still have a large welt and a scab. It is definitely less red and raised than when I received the bite last Thursday. It's pink and rough now. I guess maybe I'm one of the lucky duckies that didn't get a venomous one?

For those of you who don't know, I have an intense fear of spiders. So this was especially traumatic.

Looks like someone's tired from his 3-mile walk...
