Life of a Full Time Artist

Week 24 - Reboot - Reset
How do I reboot my artistic consciousness? By doing something just for me.
Art has become my path in life. I guess It's my "calling". It's probably a good thing as I'm hopeless with numbers and languages. Numbers get switched up in my head. I'm ok if I can see them, but don't tell me your phone number... my brain will reel. Which leads me to a funny story of a job I once had as a 911 operator in Barrie, ON... another time perhaps. All I can say is... Barrie is a safer place now.
Anyway, what's one of the things I do to reboot, reset?
