Update to oil painting/ some outdoor climb throwbacks

I'm fucking BUSY. All the time!

This is about as far as I went.

My weekend was crammed full and I didn't have any time to sit down and paint:

• I had to go to the gym
• went bowling with Hive account@ghostfish and Hive account@blainegarrett and several of my good friends whom I have not seen in a while. (That was so nice. I have a solid group of friends who I appreciate and love very much.)
• I took a top rope class at another gym
• I also had to work a bit from home then
• I had to finish up some chores that I have sorely neglected.

I also took Sunday off just to hang out with my daughter, folding laundry and binge-watching the new Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I needed that, and it was so lovely. <3 <3

So yeahhhhhh..........today I take my belay test...which oddly enough, I am not nervous about. I've always been so nervous about taking tests of any kind.

It's funny that I started climbing outdoors a couple of years back but never really bothered to take my test because I was nervous about someone's safety on my hands. I'm certainly more comfortable with it now.

A few outdoor climbs and practicing really helps!
