Day 26 of year 16:  
Things to be happy and thankful for:

1.  I got an air conditioning unit for the studio (it was 106 yesterday...) and installed it myself!
2.  I worked in the studio all morning and actually produced - sketches and painted and was in touch.
3.  There is an actual new teacher - he said yes and so did the district...
4.  Sempre e per sempre e per sempre - esperanza.
