What happened? Did this blog get too boring all of a sudden, or is this a glitch? Do you need more Koopa updates? There aren’t many comments either. 
I have to admit that I’ve been awfully busy to update as much as I’d like. For the past couple of days I’ve had a screwy sleep cycle. I’ve been working out around 1 a.m., and right now it’s 3:45 a.m. and I’m doing laundry and getting ready to do a few breast paintings. I’ve been waking up in the early afternoon (exhausted) and it’s been very hard to get back on track.
By the way, Koopa is doing great and behaving like his old self. He and I are eating lots of watermelon since they’re finally in season. OK, enough procrastinating…going to get to work, and hopefully I’ll have a painting to share after I wake up.
XOXOXO
Unsubscribers make Koopa cry…
I'm an Internet-based (anxiety-ridden) abstract artist residing in Connecticut. I'm best known for my breast paintings, which I've been offering sporadically since 2001. You may also be familiar with my work with Koopa, the world's 1st professional painting turtle (now enjoying early retirement.) I'm currently spending lots of time creating photographs, beaded jewelry and poetry too! Check out some of the links on the top and sidebar, read some back posts, wander over to www.turtlekiss.com, and be sure to leave a comment if you have anything to add. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Kira,
I love reading your updates and check often for new postings. Keep them coming. Daisy the Box Turtle sends a big beaky smooch to Koopa.

LOL, I wake up and it’s back up to 7. Who did I guilt into re-subscribing?
Jen & Daisy – Even the quick little comments like yours brighten my day. Thanks for taking the time to let me know that I’m not amusing only myself by being here. Beaky kisses are the best! Koopa sends you double beaky goodness!

Kira, are you usually a “night person?” Some people (myself included) just naturally are. I’ve baked cookies and scrubbed floors in the middle of the night. It’s not good if you wake up exhausted, though; your body isn’t getting the renewal benefit of a good sleep. You need to clear your mind of any worries before you go to bed so that you can totally relax.
I read your blog regularly, even if I don’t always post a comment. It’s always interesting to hear what you’ve got going on in your life. I’m so glad to hear that Koopa’s all better! Tell him to be sure to spit out those watermelon seeds. Hugs to both of you!

Ginger – I don’t think I’ve seen a watermelon with seeds in several years! They’re all seedless now around here. I imagine you can still get the seeded variety down south, where seed-spitting contests take place.
I am a night person for sure, but it seems like the rest of the world is determined to wake me up before I’m ready. I can’t get upset if the phone rings at noon and I’m asleep…it’s a perfectly reasonable time to call for the majority of the population. But once I’m up, my bladder is too…and falling back asleep is no longer an option.
I’ve tried so hard to go to bed at a “normal” time but I just can’t get anything accomplished in the morning anyway. I’m also more active in the winter and I hate the heat so I probably have the opposite of SAD (seasonal affective disorder.) It’s going to be 95 degrees tomorrow! Eek!
Hugs right back at you! Thanks again for visiting.

Hi Kira! I haven’t even turned my computer 0N for 2 weeks, I’ve been so busy…… All your new paintings look great and I’m glad Koop is feeling better! I love your blog, it’s always a great read

Pleasance – Geez, I love your name…it’s so…pleasant! I wish I had the ability to turn off my computer for 2 weeks, but it’s like crack to me so I’d probably have to check myself into rehab immediately. I fear that my inbox will self-destruct if I leave it unattended for more than a day.
Thank you for continuing to read and comment.
HUGS!!!!
