Dear diary...

It's been a tough couple of weeks for me and the stress of the real world has robed me of the enjoyment of escaping in my hobbies. 

Most of my wife's family have been in and out of the ER - all for different reasons, the drunk driver who nearly killed my mother is out and was caught drinking again, I was quarantined because a co-worker caught Covid (I've tested negative), other stressors at work make my day job unrewarding, my local gaming scene has evaporated because a once large community keeps breaking into smaller groups that don't get along... yadayadayada.

Long story short, I've been struggling with burnout so I've decided to go back to some of my earliest models and squad of these little guys are getting batch painted and now have the base colors blocked in. 

I have been selling some stuff on ebay that I don't think I'll use again and that's been a little cathartic, but then sometimes I feel like I'm giving up and it bums me out. 

As a creative type, I've got this burning urge to create, especially painting traditional paintings (not models) and writing lately but when I sit at the keyboard or easel, I lock up and all of the urge turns to doubt about my abilities and nothing gets done.
